• Anti-endothelial cell antibodies have been shown to play a key role in causing post-transplantation rejections
• Focus on kidney transplantation
• CE market for sales in the EU countries
• FDA registered for sales in the US
• First US order in January 2009 from UCLA
World market • 75,000 organs are transplanted annually
and of those 55,000 are kidneys• US market stands for one third of all
