Does Torque Teno virus (TTV) DNA level correlate with acute cellular rejection and opportunistic infections in liver transplant recipients?
Plasma TTV DNA levels are associated with immune-related events after liver transplantation and could serve as a noninvasive biomarker of immunosuppression.
Ruíz et al. (2018) studied this question.
