Single Blind Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing BNT162b2 Vs JNJ-78436735 Vaccine As An Additional Dose After Two Doses Of BNT162b2 Vaccine In Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) Recipients
*Purpose: Even though a high efficacy and immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines have been reported in the general population, vaccine immunogenicity is suboptimal in SOT recipients…2022 American Transplant Congress
CD8+ T Cells Differentiate into a CD43-expressing Effector Population After Transplantation
Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Despite a significantly reduced toxicity profile and improved long-term graft function versus calcineurin inhibitors, widespread adaptation of belatacept (CTLA-4 Ig) has been limited due…2022 American Transplant Congress
Pegylated Lacritin N-104 Promotes Mouse Islet Stabilization and Prevents Diabetes Progression in the Non-Obese Diabetic (NOD) Mouse Model

Results Of The Ctot19 Trial: Infliximab (IFX) Induction Does Not Impact 2-year Outcomes In Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) of a kidney transplant (KTx) up-regulates tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) production within the allograft. IR-induced TNF amplifies post-KTx allograft inflammation and…2022 American Transplant Congress
A Randomized Phase 2 Study Of Mau868 Vs Placebo To Treat Bk Viremia In Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of MAU868, a BK virus-specific monoclonal antibody, in adult kidney transplant recipients with BK viremia.*Methods: This is a…2022 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Outcomes of Liver Transplantation (LT) Using Grafts from Donors with Active and Chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Infection; Multi-Center Cohort Study
*Purpose: Liver grafts from donors with hepatitis B infection contributed to expand the donor pool under the Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and antiviral agents (NA:…2022 American Transplant Congress
Functional Recellularized Patient Derived Endothelium; A Human Vascular Graft Approach
*Purpose: In transplantation, the endothelial lining is the first barrier between the donor organ and recipient immune system. Damaged endothelium exposes extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules…2022 American Transplant Congress
Long-Term Kidney Allotransplant Acceptance is Defined by a Shift from a T Cell to a B Cell Rich Immune Microenvironment Within the Graft
*Purpose: Mouse kidney allografts are spontaneously accepted in select, fully-mismatched donor-recipient strain combinations, such as DBA/2J to C57BL/6 (B6). Tolerant renal grafts develop aggregates of…2022 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus After Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin And Infliximab Induction Immunosuppression In Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Selective targeting of effector/memory T cells as induction immunosuppression has been discussed in kidney transplantation. Confidence-interval-estimation study may help to estimate range of the…2022 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Cold Ischemia Times on 1 Year Kidney Transplant Outcomes
Department of Surgery, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR
