Pre-Transplant Anti-LG3 Antibodies Enhance Allograft Dysfunction in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Delayed or Slow Graft Function
CHUM Research Center, Montreal, Canada.
Background: We have previously shown that autoantibodies to the LG3 fragment of perlecan enhance vascular damage in a murine model of vascular rejection, particularly when…2015 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of IgG Subclass Significance for Early Graft Rejection and Long-Term Survival in HLA-Antibody Incompatible Renal Transplantation: Multivariate Approach
Donor HLA specific antibodies (DSA) can cause acute rejection and graft lost after renal transplantation. However neither the damaging antibody types, nor their acceptable levels…2015 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection in Antibody Incompatible Renal Transplantation Using Machine Learning for Wide Data
The dynamic field of renal transplantation is characterised by limited access to data, the high cost of equipment and underlying complexity of immunological responses to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunoglobulin G Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibody Subclasses and Kidney Allograft Antibody-Mediated Injury
Experimental and clinical data suggest that antibodies have different pathogenicities according to their IgG subclasses. We investigated the association between IgG subclasses of circulating anti-HLA…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pretransplant Antibodies Against Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor in Renal Transplantation: Preliminary Data from the KNOW-KT Study
BackgroundThe antibodies (Abs) against angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) have been suggested as a risk factor for graft failure and acute rejection. However, incidence…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Relevance of C3d-Binding Donor-Specific Antibodies in Late Kidney Allograft Failure
Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of C3d-binding donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in determining late kidney allograft failure.Methods: 1048 patients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Circulating HLA-Specific Alloreactive Memory B Cells Reveals Surreptitious Immunized Kidney Transplant Recipients at High Risk of Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Even though current bead-based multiplex techniques enable an accurate assessment of circulating HLA-specific antibodies, a more comprehensive study of the humoral alloimmune response through the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Elevated ST2 Levels Are Associated With Increased Risk of Antibody Mediated Rejection in Heart Transplant Recipients
Objective: Serum ST2, a member of the interleukin (IL) 1 receptor family, is a novel biomarker that reflects cardiac remodeling and fibrosis and is associated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Natural History of Anti- Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies After Hear Transplant
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: The natural history of the production of circulating antibodies has not yet been clearly established. Recent technology has allowed for the improved detection of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Risk of HLA Antibody Sensitization in Pediatric Heart Failure Patients Pre/Post Berlin VAD Procedure and Pre/Post Heart Transplantation
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX; Texas Children's Hospital, Houston, TX.
The Berlin Heart Excor Ventricular Assist Device (Berlin VAD) was designed for use in children with heart failure. The Berlin VAD has allowed for successful…
