Foxp3 Controls Oxidative Phosphorylation in Regulatory T Cells.
Current immunosuppressive therapies are limited by non-specificity and toxicities, and new pharmacologic approaches to immunosuppressive therapies are needed. Many T cell subsets have distinct metabolic…2016 American Transplant Congress
NK Cells Are Required in B-Cell Dependent, Antibody Mediated Islet Transplant Tolerance.
Dept of Surgery, Transplant Surgery Division, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Immunologic tolerance to islets has been achieved in various rodent models using antibodies directed at CD45RB and Tim-1. We have shown that this tolerance mechanism…2016 American Transplant Congress
Tracking Endogenous B Cells Recognizing Allogeneic MHC Class II in Mice.
Clinical data suggest that donor-specific antibody (DSA)-mediated rejection is currently the leading cause of kidney allograft failure, with anti-donor Class II Abs tending to be…2016 American Transplant Congress
Profiling Metabolic Differences Between Graft- vs. Pathogen-Elicited CD8+ T Cell Responses.
The challenge of immune modulation in transplantation is to inhibit pathologic alloreactivity while minimizing off-target toxicities and preserving protective immunity. Data have emerged demonstrating the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Factors and Outcomes Associated with Daptomycin Non-Susceptible Enterococcal Infections in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients.
Background: Daptomycin non-susceptible enterococcal (DNSE) infections are associated with poor outcomes. Information regarding factors and outcomes of DNSE in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients (SOTR)…2016 American Transplant Congress

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Human Orthotopic Liver Transplant Biopsies.
The Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, Los Angeles.
Liver ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inflammatory event that contributes to graft dysfunction in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are responsible for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Transplant IgM to Post-Transplant IgG DSA Conversion May Be Affected by Immunosuppression.
1Terasaki Foundation Laboratory, Los Angeles, CA; 2East Carolina University, Greenville, NC.
Post-transplant (tx) IgG donor-specific antibodies (DSA), but not IgM DSA has been identified as one of the major causes of late graft loss. Considering the…
