Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rising awareness of the significance of cardiac antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) as a result of its formal recognition by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. New insights on the pathology and clinical behavior of cardiac AMR are at odds with current diagnostic guidelines. This perspective examines some of the contentious and unresolved issues in cardiac AMR as the transplant community makes concrete steps towards updating its defining criteria.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
