Flow Cytometric Characterization of Regulatory Cell Populations Expanded Ex Vivo from PBMCs of Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: We have previously shown that it is possible to generate alloantigen-specific regulatory T cell lines and clones that prolong allograft survival upon infusion in…2020 American Transplant Congress
Decreased Anti-Tumor Activity of Liver-Resident NK Cells via IL-33 Associated with Portal Hypertension after Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Hiroshima Uni., Hiroshima, Japan
*Purpose: It has been reported that increasing portal vein pressure after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) was associated with a poor prognosis, risk factors for…2020 American Transplant Congress
B Cell Depletion with Anti-CD20 mAb Exacerbates Anti-Donor CD4+ T Cell Responses in Highly Sensitized Transplant Model
Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan
*Purpose: Preformed donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies (DSAs) have been associated with detrimental effects in transplant recipients. To eliminate preformed DSAs, we desensitized DSA-positive recipients…2020 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Low vs Standard Dosage of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction Therapy on the Co-Inducible Molecules (Cd28, CTLA-4, ICOS, PD-1) Expression Pattern in T Regulatory Cell
*Purpose: Two thymoglobulin (TG) dosages effect on the Tregulatory cell (Treg) and describe the behavior of the co-stimulatory pathways in terms of FIM and gene…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prevalence of Frailty and Cognitive Impairment at Time of Kidney Transplant Evaluation
Internal Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS
*Purpose: Frailty is highly prevalent in kidney disease, with prevalence estimates as high as 73% in patients at the time of dialysis initiation compared to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Factors Influencing Background Cell-Free DNA Levels: Implications for Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Assessment in Transplant Patients
*Purpose: Detecting elevated levels of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in the plasma of transplant recipients has been used as a metric to determine graft injury…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Video Education Intervention to Improve Kidney Transplant Knowledge and Willingness to Complete Transplant Evaluation in Dialysis Patients
*Purpose: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has set a goal of 30% (currently 18.5%) of dialysis patients to be on a transplant (Tx)…2020 American Transplant Congress
Medical and Psychosocial Reasons for Deferral and Denial Following Kidney Transplant Evaluation at a VA Transplant Center
*Purpose: VA kidney transplant patients present challenges that may limit their listing opportunities in the private sector. We sought to study the medical and psychosocial…2020 American Transplant Congress
Anti-Thymocyte Globulins Induced Immunomodulatory Effect and Increased Regulatory T Cell in a In Vitro Model of Allogeneic Cell Coculture
*Purpose: Two types of Anti-Thymocyte Globulins (ATG) are commonly used in renal transplantation (Thymoglobuline and Grafalon) and induce severe, dose-dependent and sometimes persistent CD4+ T…2020 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Monthly Therapy: Transplant Recipients’ Experience
*Purpose: While graft and patient outcomes with belatacept have been relatively well documented, the decision to use belatacept for kidney transplant recipients rests in part…
