Induction of Durable Mixed Hematopoietic Chimerism and Immune Tolerance in Non-Human Primates.
Mixed hematopoietic chimerism is a promising approach to achieving transplantation tolerance. Transient mixed chimerism leads to renal allograft tolerance in about 70% of cynomolgus macaques…2017 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplantation Tolerance Using Outbred Mice.
Success of organ transplantation currently depends on life-time immunosuppression, resulting in severe side effects. Induction of donor specific tolerance is ideal, which actually spontaneously occurs…2017 American Transplant Congress
Generation of Potent Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells from Rhesus Macaque Bone Marrow.
Surgery (Transplant), University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
Background: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) have shown promise in inhibiting allograft rejection and in promoting transplant tolerance in rodent models. We recently reported that monocytic…2017 American Transplant Congress
High Eomesodermin Expression Correlates with Potent Human Allo-Reactive CD8+ Effector T Cells.
Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
BackgroundThe transcription factors Eomesodermin (Eomes) and T-bet are thought to play critical roles in CD8+ effector memory T cell development. However, the role of Eomes…2017 American Transplant Congress
CXCL13 as a New Systemic Biomarker for B-Cell Involvement in Acute Kidney Allograft Rejection.
The majority of kidney allograft rejections are T cell mediated (TCMR). However, it has been shown that in the presence of B-cell clusters the course…2017 American Transplant Congress
Autotransplantation of the Left Lung for the Treatment of Recurrent Life Threatening Pulmonary Hemorrhage Related to Pulmonary Vascular Malformation: A Unique Chance to Study Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.
Background: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a major clinical problem in lung transplantation. Here, we report the investigation of IRI in a 17-year-old patient who…2017 American Transplant Congress
Clinical Impact of Strength and Class of Pre transplant Donor Specific Antibody on Kidney Transplant Recipient Receiving Steroid Free Maintenance Immunosupression Regimen.
Renal Transplant, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN
Background: The class and strength of pre- transplant DSA has been described as playing a role in determining future risk of acute rejection (AR) and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Optimization of Extended-Release Tacrolimus Dose with Mycophenolate Mofetile Based Immunosuppression in De Novo Kidney Transplant Recipients: 2 Years Outcome.
Purpose: Once-daily tacrolimus extended-release formulation (TACER) has been accepted in kidney transplantation, however its optimal dosing are not well determined. We have validated the institutional…2017 American Transplant Congress
Overweight Kidney Transplant Recipients Are at Risk of Being Overdosed Following Standard Bodyweight-Based Tacrolimus Dosing.
Bodyweight-based dosing of tacrolimus (Tac) is considered standard care, even though the available evidence is thin. An increasing proportion of transplant recipients is overweight, prompting…2017 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Magnetic-Electrochemical Exosome (iMEX) Technology to Detect Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Transplantation Research Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston; Exosome Diagnostic Inc, Cambridge
Methods for monitoring clinical rejection including increases in serum creatinine and urinary protein excretion may not reflect subclinical rejection. Similarly repeat biopsy may result in…
