SERUM SOLUBLE B CELL-ACTIVATING FACTOR IS A NON-INVASIVE BIOMARKER OF ANTIBODY-MEDIATED REJECTION IN KIDNEY ALLOGRAFT WITH SATISFACTORY RISK STRATIFICATION PERFORMANCE BUT NEGLIGIBLE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE

Serum Soluble B Cell-Activating Factor Is a Non-Invasive Biomarker of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Allograft With Satisfactory Risk Stratification Performance But Negligible Diagnostic Value

ObjectivesB cell-activating factor (BAFF), which is critical in the activation and differentiation of B cells, is a candidate diagnostic and predictive biomarker for antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR).We aimed to investigate the value of serum soluble BAFF (sBAFF) for the diagnosis and risk stratification of ABMR after kidney transplantation.Method

Anodic Alumina Photonic Crystals as Refractive Index Sensors for Controlling the Composition of Liquid Mixtures

Abstract Photonic crystals based Toe Separators on anodic aluminum oxide films are examined as refractive index sensors for controlling the composition of water-alcohol liquid mixtures.The position of the reflectance maximum corresponding to the first photonic stop band is used as the analytical signal.Impregnation of a photonic crystal with water-
