Maximizing the Potential of Treg-Based Therapies for Transplant Rejection via Computational Immune-Modeling: Effect of Dose, Timing, and Distribution.
Purpose. Regulatory T cells (Treg), endogenous regulators of the immune system, have a significant therapeutic potential for prevention of transplant rejection. Experimental evidences however, indicate…2017 American Transplant Congress
Similar Elevation of Gene Expression Associated with Antibody-Mediated Rejection (ABMR) of Renal Allografts Can Be Detected in Both Plasma Exosomes (pExo) and Biopsies (Bx) by Assessing mRNA Transcript Profiles.
Background: ABMR is a major obstacle for successful transplant in HLA-sensitized patients (Pts). Prediction of ABMR by non-invasive diagnostic tools is desirable. Previously we showed…2017 American Transplant Congress

CD4 Depletion Is Necessary and Sufficient for Long-Term Nonhuman Primate Xenotransplant Survival.
Introduction. Xenotransplantation may alleviate the organ shortage, yet experimental renal xenotransplant has met limited success. We have previously reported the longest surviving pig-to-nonhuman primate (NHP)…
