Three-Way Comparison of Central DSA, %dd-cf DNA, and Molecular Biopsy Findings in the Trifecta Study
*Purpose: Trifecta (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT04239703) is a prospective, IRB-approved, consented study of the relationships among three central tests in kidney transplant indication biopsies: molecular biopsy diagnoses…2022 American Transplant Congress
Clazakizumab® (anti-il-6) Desensitization in Highly-HLA Sensitized Patients Awaiting Kidney Transplant (nct03380962): Long-Term Follow Up
*Purpose: IL-6 is a cytokine critical for B-cell activation and IgG production. Clazakizumab (CSL Behring LLC) is a humanized monoclonal aimed at the cytokine IL-6.…2022 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of a Standardized Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR) Treatment Protocol in Heart Transplant Recipients (HTR)
Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
*Purpose: AMR in HTR portends poor clinical outcomes. Reported mortality range between 20-50%, with higher rates reported for late AMR occurring at least 1 year…2022 American Transplant Congress
Dynamic Changes of Serum Soluble B Cell Activating Factor in Kidney Transplant with De Novo Donor Specific Antibody
*Purpose: De novo donor specific antibody (dnDSA) plays a crucial role in the development of antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) and is correlated to the worse…2022 American Transplant Congress
Simultaneous Liver/ Kidney Transplant Reduces Both Donor Specific and Non-Donor Specific HLA Antibodies
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Kidney allografts can be transplanted across strong donor specific antibody (DSA) barriers in simultaneous liver/kidney transplant (SLK) recipients. It is suggested that preformed DSAs…2022 American Transplant Congress
Multicenter Effort Assessing the Effects of COVID Infection and Vaccination on HLA Antibodies in Waitlisted Patients with ESRD
*Purpose: Although rare, infection and vaccination have been reported to result in human leukocyte antibodies (HLA). We analyzed the effect of SARS-CoV2 infection, or COVID-19…2022 American Transplant Congress
Desensitization Protocol Consisting of High-Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulin, Plasmapheresis, and Rituximab in Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients
Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya, Japan
*Purpose: In HLA incompatible kidney transplantation, donor-specific HLA antibody often causes antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). To prevent AMR, we adopted a preoperative desensitization protocol including high-dose…2022 American Transplant Congress
HLA-Specific IgD/CD27 Double Negative B Cell Frequency Assessed by a Novel Multiplex Bead-Based Assay Predicts Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Recipients with sensitization to HLA defined by a high percentage of Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) or Donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) are at higher immunologic…2022 American Transplant Congress
Establishment of an In Vitro Assay to Evaluate Indirect T-cell Allo-Response Using Donor PBMC-Pulsed Dendritic Cells
*Purpose: Conventional MLR-based methods which evaluate donor-specific immune response via direct T-cell recognition pathway have been reported to be useful in predicting acute TCMR. However,…2022 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Approach to Non-Invasive Multimodality Testing with Allosure and Allomap Predicts Microvascular Inflammation with High Accuracy in Kidney Transplant Recipients
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: The most prominent histologic lesion in antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is microvascular inflammation (MVI); however, its recognition and scoring can be challenging and poorly reproducible…
