Effect of Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Rat Model of Chronic Renal Allograft Rejection.
R. Pepineli, F. Silva, P. Gouveia, G. Tavora, S. Gomes, I. Noronha.
Renal Division, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) may represent a new strategy to prevent allograft rejection after kidney transplantation due to its immunomodulatory properties. In the…

HLA Identical Renal Transplant Tolerance Using Donor Hematopoietic Stems Cells (DHSC): Role of Immunoregulation.
J. Leventhal,¹ J. Mathew,¹ D. Salomon,² S. Kurian,² J. Friedewald,¹ L. Gallon,¹ X. Huang,¹ A. Tambur,¹ Y. Kanwar,¹ J. Charette,¹ M. Abecassis,¹ J. Miller.¹
¹Surgery - Comprehensive Transplant Center, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL; ²The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA.
Purpose: Despite being a “perfect match”, HLA-identical kidney transplants (HLA-Id KTx) are rejected without sufficient immunosuppression (IS), and hence can also benefit from tolerance induction.…
