Transplant aspiration cytology (TAC) may be performed daily from human renal allografts without risk to the graft or to the graft recipient. With TAC it is possible to accurately quantitate the onset, type, degree and duration of the inflammatory response of rejection, predict the course of rejection, and on certain occasions also visualise the rejection prior to the appearance of clinical signs. The method also provides a quantitative tool for the assessment of the effects of immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory drugs on the composition of the in situ inflammatory infiltrate.
移植抽吸细胞学检查（TAC）可每天对人同种异体肾移植进行，对移植肾或移植受者均无风险。通过TAC，可以准确量化排斥反应炎症反应的发生、类型、程度和持续时间，预测排斥反应的进程，并且在某些情况下还能在临床症状出现之前发现排斥反应。该方法还为评估免疫抑制和抗炎药物对原位炎症浸润成分的影响提供了一种定量工具。
