Evaluating T Cell Repopulation Post Alemtuzumab Induction with a Belatacept-Based Regimen.
Department of Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
We reported that alemtuzumab induction followed by belatacept-sirolimus based immunosuppression effectively prevents costimulation blockade resistant rejection (CoBRR). This study investigates the phenotypic characteristics of repopulating…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immune Monitoring-Guided Treatment of a Pediatric Patient with Sequential GvHD, Acute Rejection and CMV Infection Following Lung Transplantation.
Background: A 17 year old patient with cystic fibrosis (HLA-A11+, CMV-) underwent bilateral sequential lung transplantation (donor: HLA-A32+, CMV+). Immunosuppression (IS) consisted of Tacrolimus, MMF…2017 American Transplant Congress
