The Role of Antigen Presentation in B Regulatory Cell Function
1Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA, 2Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: B regulatory cells (B regs) represent a subset of B cells with non-canonical regulatory function. The majority of effort has been focused on the…2020 American Transplant Congress
HLA Cross-Dressing of Dendritic Cells by Maternal Exosomes is Associated with PD-L1 Expression in Newborns
1University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, 2Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA
*Purpose: Recipients of a kidney transplant from a haplo-identical sibling had accelerated early acute rejection episodes, followed by improved long-term graft survival if the transplant…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prophylactic Treatment with Antioxidant Nanoparticles Attenuate Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in BALB/c Mice
*Purpose: Kidney is more susceptible to hypoxic damage than other organ because kidney tissue consumes most of oxygen to move various solute across membrane. Ischemia/reperfusion…2020 American Transplant Congress
LacripepTM and its Analogs Act as Novel Interventional Agents to Promote Long-Term Islet Transplantation Outcomes
*Purpose: To study the prosecretory, prosurvival, and mitogenic effect of Lacripep™ and its analogs in enhancing islet viability, increasing insulin secretion and promoting long-term islet…2020 American Transplant Congress
Intra-Lymph Node Injection of Rapamycin-Alloantigen Microparticles Regulates Dendritic Cell Antigen Presentation
1U Maryland, Baltimore, MD, 2U Maryland, College Park, MD
*Purpose: Microparticles (MPs) carrying peptide antigen with immune signals can be directly delivered to lymph nodes (LNs) via intra-LN injections to shape both pro-inflammatory or…2020 American Transplant Congress
AIPCs Home to and Engraft in the Pancreas When Injected Intravenously
1Imagine Pharma, Pittsburgh, PA, 2Allegheny Health Network, Pittsburgh, PA

Risk Factors for Failing Native Kidney Function after Successful PTA
SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY
*Purpose: Patients with labile diabetes and good kidney function are often advised to wait until kidney function deteriorates and then undergo a SPK rather than…2020 American Transplant Congress
Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Ameliorates Glucose Fluctuation Through Reducing Apoptosis and Infiltration of Inflammatory Cells after Intraportal Islet Transplantation in Rodent Model
*Purpose: Islet transplantation is a useful treatment option for insulin dependent diabetes mellitus with severe hypoglycemic event. However, intraportal islet transplantation is known to induce…2020 American Transplant Congress
Withaferin A Prolongs Islet Allograft Survival in a Mouse Transplant Model by Preventing T Lymphocyte Proliferation and Dendritic Cell Maturation
*Purpose: Chronic decline in islet graft function and toxicities imposed by immunosuppressant drugs remain as challenges to the widespread use of islet transplantation for type…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Use of dd-cfDNA as a Predictive Tool for Future Proteinuria
*Purpose: Most allografts with proteinuria >1500 mg/dL have new glomerular pathology. In contrast, lower levels of proteinuria are generally associated with non-glomerular, nonspecific histologic changes.…
