Antibodies against glutathione S-transferase T1 in non-solid organ transplanted patients.

Background: This article describes the presence of antibodies against glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) in a group of patients who never received a solid organ graft. These antibodies have been previously detected in liver and kidney transplant subjects with donor-recipient mismatch for this enzyme at the genetic level. In liver-grafted subjects, the appearance of these antibodies correlated with de novo immune hepatitis.
