An Improved Method for the Evaluation of Microvascular Inflammation in Renal Allograft Biopsies.
Background: Microvascular inflammation (MVI), assessed as glomerulitis (g) + peritubular capillaritis (ptc), is associated with T cell mediated (CMR) and antibody mediated (AMR) allograft rejection.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Antibody Mediated Rejection and Mixed Acute Rejection: Long Term Results and Predictive Factors for Graft Loss Following Proteasome Inhibitor Therapy.
1U of Cincinnati, Cincinnati; 2The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati.
Purpose: Proteasome inhibitor (PI) therapy has been increasingly used to treated antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and mixed acute rejection (MAR). The purpose of this study…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Non-Invasive Blood Transcriptional Assay, Ksort, Monitors Alloimmune Response in the Sailor Randomized Multicenter Trial.
Non-invasive diagnosis and prediction of acute rejection (AR) is a critical unmet need. A In a randomized multicenter trial of 222 renal transplant recipients a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Financial Cost of Cold Ischemia Time in Kidney Transplantation.
PURPOSE: A new kidney allocation system (KAS) was implemented in December 2014 using the kidney donor profile index (KDPI), which prioritizes historically-disadvantaged populations. While KAS…2016 American Transplant Congress
Lessons Learned Transplanting High KDPI Kidneys Over a Decade: Improvements in Graft Survival Stem from Lower Rates of Early Graft Loss.
Purpose. The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) recently replaced SCD/ECD designations, to provide transplant centers a more precise estimate of predicted graft survival, with the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Angiotensin II Type-1 Receptor Antibodies in Renal Transplant Recipients Associated with Ventricular and Endothelial Dysfunction: Preliminary Results.
Previous studies demonstrated the significance of angiotensin II type-1 receptor antibodies (AT1Rabs) in processes including hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and renal fibrosis; information regarding ventricular and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Role of TGF-β in Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury Induced Renal Fibrosis in Human Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells.
Institute of Cellular Medicine, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to an irreversible damage to the tubular epithelium and promotes acute kidney injury (AKI) that is associated with progressive loss of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of CXCR4/CXCL12 Blockade on Normal Plasma Cells In Vivo.
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplant Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Introduction:Plasma cells (PCs) are a major source of alloantibody in transplant patients.They are resistant to current therapy. Since receptor/ligand interactions in the stromal environment are…2016 American Transplant Congress
End-Stage Renal Disease Does Not Impair the Large-Scale Generation of Potent Alloantigen-Specific Regulatory T Cells for Immunotherapy.
Background Alloantigen-specific natural occurring regulatory T cells (nTregs) have the potential to offer a more targeted approach of immunosuppression and are the cell type of…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Role and Mechanism of CD40/CD40L Expression on Different T-Cell Subsets.
Background: Several T-cell costimulatory pathways (i.e. CD28:B7 and CD40:CD40L) play a critical role in modulating alloreactivity, but their function on distinct T cell subsets remains…
