Ex Vivo Expansion of Human Alloantigen-Reactive Regulatory T Cells Using Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells versus CD40L-Stimulated B Cells.
Background:Alloantigen-reactive murine and human CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (arTreg) are more potent in promoting long-term allograft survival than polyclonal Treg in experimental models. Dendritic cells…2016 American Transplant Congress
Center Volume Is Associated with Outcome Following Pancreas Transplantation within the Eurotransplant Region.
Introduction Outcome following all kinds of surgery depends on several factors, amongst these the annual volume-outcome relationship. This might also be the case in a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Plasma Alemtuzumab Levels Show Great Interpatient Variability, but Are Not Associated with Late Acute Rejection in Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Recipients.
Introduction: Alemtuzumab induction followed by a steroid-free, tacrolimus (Tac) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) based regimen effectively prevented acute rejection after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). Acute…2016 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Outcomes from Patients with Completion versus Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation: A Single-Institution Experience with 120 Consecutive Cases.
Introduction: Total pancreatectomy (TP) or completion pancreatectomy is considered to effectively eliminate the severe pain from refractory chronic pancreatitis, if prior procedures failed. Islet autotransplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Membrane Proteome Profiling Reveals Molecular Changes Associated with Donor-Specific Tolerance to Vascularized Composite Allotransplants.
Background: although donor-specific tolerance to vascularized composite allotransplants (VCAs) has been successfully induced with different regimes, molecular changes associated with tolerance are not well understood.Materials…2016 American Transplant Congress
Successful Transplantation in ABO- and HLA-Incompatible Kidney-Transplant Patients.
Introduction: ABO-incompatible (ABOi) and HLA-incompatible (HLAi) kidney transplantation using living donors is common place; however, few data have reported on the outcomes of ABOi/HLAi living-kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Young, Caucasian, Better Educated and Less Socially Deprived Patients Are More Likely to Be Transplanted with a Living Donor Kidney in the UK.
IntroductionLiving donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) has significant benefits over deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) in terms of improved survival and timely access to transplant. There…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Quantitative CD45 Immunohistochemical Assay Allows Precise and Reproducible Measurement of Inflammation in Renal Transplant Biopsies.
1UCSF, San Francisco, CA; 2Rho, Chapel Hill, NC.
Purpose: Total inflammation (TI) is an important variable for the pathologic work-up of transplant kidney biopsies (TxBx) in the Banff schema. However, current standard pathologic…2016 American Transplant Congress
Transcriptome Profiles in Peripheral Blood of Kidney Graft Recipients.
The discovery of sensitive noninvasive diagnosis and the development of immune management in the renal allograft recipients are required for long-term graft survival. Although the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Use of Autotransfusion During Liver Transplantation for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Does Not Increase Recurrence.
Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX.
IntroductionAutotransfusion (AT) is rarely used in liver transplantation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients due to the fear of disease transmission. Leukocyte depleting filters (LDF) can…
