Is There a Role for Electronic Health Service in of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Immunosuppression?
Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of immunosuppression is critical to avoid rejection or toxic side effects by under- or over-immunosuppression after heart transplantation (HTx). Hence,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Combination Therapy of iNKT Cell Ligand and CD40-CD154 Signal Blockade Establishes Islet Allograft Tolerance in Non-Myeloablative Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients.
Background: Allogeneic islet transplantation is an effective therapeutic option for type 1 diabetes. Toxicity associated with chronic use of immunosuppressants still remains an obstacle for…2017 American Transplant Congress
Soluble Fibrinogen-Like Protein 2 Regulates Differentiation and Enhances Immunosuppressive Function of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Allograft Immunity.
Urology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
Soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 (sFGL2) is a novel immunoregulatory molecule, secreted mainly by regulatory T cells. CD11b+ Gr1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an important…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Method for iNKT Cell-Mediated Ex Vivo Treg Expansion Applied to Induce Human Transplant Tolerance.
Background: Although regulatory T cells (Tregs) are beneficial for transplant-tolerance induction, decisive methods for their preferential expansion have not yet been established. In our series…2017 American Transplant Congress
Cell-Subset Diversity in Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells Used in Renal Ischemic Reperfusion Injury Treatment.
Studies in our novel hybrid model of transplantion/ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) in rat has demonstrated significant improvement in kidney function post injection of adipose-derived regenerative…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immune Tolerance Monitoring in Renal Allograft Tolerance Induced by Transient Mixed Chimerism in Nonhuman Primates.
Center for Transplant Science, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
Background: We have previously reported donor specific expansion of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in nonhuman primate (NHP) recipients which achieved renal allograft tolerance after induction…2017 American Transplant Congress
Lipid Catabolism Provides Alternative Energy Source and Compensates for Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Reperfused Rat Kidneys After Ischaemia.
Introduction: To reduce morbidity and mortality on the wait list for kidney transplantation, centres are required to use older and higher risk organs including unstable…2017 American Transplant Congress
Cytotopic Thrombin Inhibition Prior to Cold Ischaemia Attenuates Microvascular Endothelial Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury.
1Imperial College, London, United Kingdom; 2King's College, London, United Kingdom
Purpose: Microvascular dysfunction post-reperfusion of the ischaemic endothelium manifests as cellular necrosis and enhanced endothelial permeability. Thrombin generation post-reperfusion of the ischaemic endothelium may be…2017 American Transplant Congress
Personalized Tacrolimus (TAC) Dosing Using Genetic Variants in Caucasian Kidney Transplant (Tx) Recipients.
TAC is an immune suppressant with a narrow therapeutic index and high pharmacokinetic (PK) variability leading to uncertainty in blood concentrations. We previously developed an…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Polymorphisms of UGT 1 A9 on the Prognosis of Renal Transplant Patients. Association with Digestive Tumors.
Nephrologist, Hospital Clinico San Carlos, Madrid, Spain
The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of UGT1A9 promoter region T-275A and C-2152T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in stable transplant patients…
