Increased Gene Expression of TGF-β in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from Renal Transplant Patients with Polyomavirus BK Viremi.
We aimed to investigate the roles of cytokines during polyomavirus BK (BKV) reactivation in renal transplant patients. Forty-eight renal allograft recipients were enrolled in this…2017 American Transplant Congress
Reasons for Ineligibility for Kidney Donation by Race: Gap for Blacks Represented by Modifiable Factors, However Are Big Hurdles to Overcome.
Background: It is well-recognized that blacks are much less likely to receive living donor kidney transplants. Improved characterization of the reasons for differences in living…2017 American Transplant Congress
Integration of Kidney-Exchange, (Un)Specified Living Donor Transplantation, ABO Incompatible and Desensitisation Programs in a Computerized Allocation Program: A Simulation.
Introduction: Our national kidney-exchange allocation program is established in 2004. Though kidney-exchange is intertwined with (un)specified donation and domino-paired procedures, the latter still operates by…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Donor Asystole in Intestine Transplant.
Surgery, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN
Intestine transplantation has a high risk of post-transplant complications. For this reason, many intestine transplant centers are conservative in their choice of deceased donors, using…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Timeliness of Assessment of Positive Cytomegalovirus Polymerase Chain Reaction Results in Abdominal Organ Transplant Recipients.
Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the timeliness of assessment of positive cytomegalovirus (CMV) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results. This study served…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Evolution of Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (Anti-HBs) Titer of the Kidney Transplant Recipients: A 5-Year Experience Guideline for the Optimal Maintaining Immunization.
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand
Background: Immunization against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients is recommended as KDIGO guideline. Although hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) titer of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Function and TCR signaling Profile of CD57+ T Cells in Allo-Specific Immunity.
Our studies have showed that CD57+ cells are resistant to B7 costimulation blockade (CoB). We hypothesize that CD57+ cells are highly sensitive to T cell…2017 American Transplant Congress
RAS Inhibition Attenuates Urine Angiotensin II-Regulated Proteins Associated with Interstitial Fibrosis and Tubular Atrophy in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Angiotensin-II (AngII), the main effector of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), can lead to interstitial fibrosis/ tubular atrophy (IFTA) in kidney transplant recipients, mainly through AT-1R…2017 American Transplant Congress
Modification of Human Endothelial Cells by CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Ablation of Class I and II Major Histocompatibility Complex Antigen Expression.
Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT
Human endothelial cells (ECs) derived from cord blood progenitors have significant replicative potential and are thus well suited for use in tissue engineering of vascularized…2017 American Transplant Congress
Memory T Cells Are Decreased in Transplant Recipients Deficient in miR-182.
Transplant Immunology Lab/Division of Abdominal Transplant, Stanford University, Stanford
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate the post-transcriptional expression of target genes. There is ample evidence that miRNAs are involved in the…
