Immunomodulatory effects of thalidomide in an experimental brain death liver donor model

Abstract Brain death is characterized by a generalized inflammatory response that results in multiorgan damage. This process is mainly mediated through cytokines, which amplify graft immunogenicity. We investigated the immunological response in a brain death liver donor model and analysed the effect...
