Meta Analysis
Can immune cell function assay identify patients at risk of infection or rejection? A meta-analysis.
The Cylex ImmuKnow cell function assay (CICFA) is being considered as a possible tool for identification of infection and rejection in transplant recipients. However, the predictive capability of CICFA is still unclear. ⋯ The current evidence suggests that CICFA is not able to identify individuals at risk of infection or rejection. Additional studies are still needed to clarify the usefulness of this test for identifying risks of infection and rejection in transplant recipients.
