Development of Self-Limited Low-Level BK Viremia/Viruria Suggests Ideal Immunosuppression to Suppress T-Cell and Antibody-Mediated Rejection and to Preserve Kidney Allograft Function
University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
*Purpose: Polyomavirus BK (BKV) has been suggested as a surrogate marker of overimmunosuppression. Due to recent advances in monitoring strategies and pre-emptive therapy, progression to…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Call to Action: Finding the Right Kidney for All Potential Recipients
Miami Transplant Institute, Miami, FL
*Purpose: The dialysis burden in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) awaiting a kidney transplant (KT) is a huge driver of morbidity, mortality, and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplant Waitlist Mortality is Not Associated with Urbanicity
*Purpose: Because of geographic disparity in transplant rates and organ usage, distance-based liver distribution has been proposed to replace Donor Service Area based distribution. However,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Immuno-Modulation of Primed Xenogeneic T Cell Response by mTOR Blockade of T Cells and Porcine Endothelial Cells
Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Porcine vascular endothelial cells (PECs) play a central role in xeno-recognition and costimulation. The objectives of this study were to characterize the immuno-phenotype of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Eplet Mismatch Imputed from HLA Serotype-Level Data Can Improve Risk Stratification for Kidney Allograft Loss
*Purpose: HLA-Epitope mismatch improves risk stratification following kidney transplantation. Based on population data, high resolution HLA types required for epitope prediction can be imputed based…2020 American Transplant Congress

1Nephrology, Hospital Del Mar, Barcelona, Spain, 2Pathology, Hospital Del Mar, Barcelona, Spain
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damage is the most important cause of delayed graft function (DGF), which has a negative impact on kidney transplant (KT) outcomes. Complement…2020 American Transplant Congress
Thalidomide and Dexamethasone Combinatorial Treatment Induces Tolerogenic Signals by Systemic Immunomodulation of T Cells and Dendritic Cells
*Purpose: Preventing or reducing allograft rejection is critical in organ transplantation, and the need for immune modulation rather than immune suppression has been emphasized. Many…2020 American Transplant Congress
Antibiotic Pretreatment Alleviates Liver Transplant Damage by Modulating the Composition of Commensal Microbiota
Surgery, Dumont-UCLA Transplant Center, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: The human intestinal microbiome contains more than 100 trillion commensal microorganisms, exceeding the number of cells in the human body by 10-fold. Although recent…
