The Role of CD46 in Early Islet Engraftment in a Dual Transplant Model
Department of Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.
IntroductionMembrane cofactor protein (CD46) is known to attenuate the complement cascade by facilitating cleavage of C3b and C4b. In solid organ xenotransplantation, organs expressing CD46…2018 American Transplant Congress
Recurrence of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy in Related Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients
BackgroundSecondary to an increase in the graft survival rates in patients undergoing successful kidney transplantation, an increase in the occurrence of recurrent glomerulonephritis has been…2018 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept in Kidney Transplant Recipients with Preformed Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies: Results of the BELACOR Trial
IntroductionAntibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is currently a critical question in kidney transplant recipient with immunological risk factors such as pre transplant donor-specific anti HLA antibodies (DSA).…2018 American Transplant Congress
Longitudinal Analysis of Community Respiratory Virus Infection in Kidney Transplant Recipients
David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.
