A Novel Post-Transplant High-Dose Cyclophosphamide-Based Regimen to Promote Immune Tolerance After VCA
Background: VCA has become a viable treatment option for devastating tissue defects. However, the life-long need of immunosuppressive medications curtails the wider use of VCA.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunomodulatory Effects of Neuropilin-2 On T Cells
Axonal guidance molecules are expressed within the immune system and elicit anti-inflammatory effects with potential to target auto- and alloimmunity. The neuropilin (NRP) family receptors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Induction of HO-1 High Expression Enhances the Capacity of Immature Dendritic Cells to Modulate Alloimmune Responses
Background: It has been reported that HO-1 is critical for tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) to suppress T cell responses and tolDCs will lost their immunoregulatory…2015 American Transplant Congress
Leukocyte Associated Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor 1 inhibits Th1 But Enhances Th17 Responses
Background: Leukocyte Associated Immunoglobulin-like Receptor 1 (LAIR1), is a transmembrane receptor expressed by immune cells. It recognizes collagen repeats via its extracellular domain and has…2015 American Transplant Congress
Interleukin-17A Induced Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Superior Modulators of Immunological Function
Interferon-gamma preactivated mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-γ) are highly immunosuppressive but immunogenic in vivo due to their inherent expression of major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules. We modified…2015 American Transplant Congress
VLA-4 Blockade Inhibits Endogenous Memory CD8 T Cell-Mediated Rejection of Cardiac Allografts
Endogenous memory CD8 T cells infiltrate cardiac allografts within 24 hours of reperfusion and are activated to proliferate and produce IFN-γ in response to donor…2015 American Transplant Congress
Tissue Engineering Human Kidneys for Costimulation Blockade
1BREONICS, Inc., Watervliet, NY; 2Surgery, University of Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands.
Methods for preserving organs have employed hypothermic conditions. At these temperatures metabolism is 4% of normal. Tissue engineering of organs cannot be done without significant…
