N2 - Borderline allograft rejection can promote acute rejection and graft loss in some, but not all, patients. In this issue, Cherukuri et al. use a novel test based on peripheral blood transitional T1 B cells producing interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α, which identifies patients at high risk for poor outcomes. The potential mechanisms by which transitional T1 B cells might modulate alloreactivity need exploration, but following appropriate validation, this biomarker could risk stratify patients in need of early intervention.
