Microemulsion cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and prednisone have become a common immunosuppressive protocol in renal transplantation. We identified lymphocytic infiltrates in transplant fine-needle aspirates and core biopsies from patients on this regimen without acute rejection clinically or by standardized morphological criteria and investigated this inflammatory response.
