Learning from Cancer: Using D-Lactate for Therapeutic Immunosuppression.
Accumulation of lactic acid in the tumor microenvironment contributes to local immunosuppressive conditions that weaken anti-tumor immunity. Lactic acid exists as L- and D- optical…2016 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Allotransplantation Induces the Differentiation of Antigen-Experienced CD8 T Cells with Enhanced Metabolic Profiles.
Background. Naïve and memory CD8 T cells have been shown to exhibit different metabolic profiles, especially upon antigen stimulation. However, it is unknown whether the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the First 6 Weeks After Transplantation in Pancreas Transplant Recipients.
Introduction The maturation of Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology enables accurate characterization of daily glucose control. We investigated glucose control using CGM in the first…2016 American Transplant Congress
Duodenal Graft Complications After Pancreas Transplant: Evolving Management.
Introduction Pancreas transplantation is an established treatment for insulin-dependent-diabetes-mellitus with renal failure. However, complications relating to the transplant duodenum remain a significant cause of morbidity…2016 American Transplant Congress
Peritransplant Costimulation Blockade Combined with a Short-Course of Rapamycin Prevents Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts.
[Background] Reconstructive transplantation represents a valid therapeutic option after devastating tissue loss. Routine clinical application, however, is hampered by the toxicity of long-term maintenance immunosuppression.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Survey Results Show Strong Support for Allowing Patients Undergoing Desensitization to Keep Their Pre-Desensitization CPRA Allocation Priority.
1UNOS, Richmond; 2Emory Univ Hosp, Atlanta; 3Stanford Univ, Palo Alto.
Background: On the waitlist, highly sensitized kidney (KI) candidates who undergo desensitization (DS) lose allocation priority associated with pre-DS CPRA value if some unacceptable antigens…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor HLA Specific IgM Antibody Measured on Day 14 Post-Transplantation Predicts Poor Graft Survival in HLA-Incompatible Renal Transplantation.
Introduction: Role of IgG antibodies against donor human leucocyte antigens (HLA) is established in renal transplant monitoring. Role of IgM donor HLA specific antibodies (DSA)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Age Gap Analysis Between Live Donor and Recipients in Kidney Transplantation: Opportunities to Improve Voluntary Exchange Programs and Kidney Paired Donation.
Graft survival(GS) perception is that, with a smaller age gap between the donor(D) and recipient(R), better the outcome. It is unclear if there is an…2016 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplant Reduction of Long Lived Plasma Cells from Peripheral Circulation Is Associated with Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Introduction:Plasma cells (PC) are usually defined functionally as antibody secreting cells (ASC). Depending upon their life span, they could either be short lived or long…2016 American Transplant Congress
Urinary Expression of miRNA-155, miRNA-210, miRNA-142 and CXCL-10 Production Predicts the Risk of Acute Rejection and Graft Outcome in Renal Transplant Recipients.
MicroRNAs (miRs) have been reported to play a role in immune system response. The results of several clinical trials have suggested that these molecules might…
