Analysis of NFATc1 amplification in T cells for pharmacodynamic monitoring of tacrolimus in kidney transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND:Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of tacrolimus, based on blood concentrations, shows an imperfect correlation with the occurrence of rejection. Here, we tested whether measuring NFATc1 amplification, a member of the calcineurin pathway, is suitable for TDM of tacrolimus. MATERIALS AND ME...
