Critical Role of Notch-2 Signaling in Alloantibody Production
The role of B cells in the alloimmune response is increasingly recognized, while alloantibody production remains a major barrier to the improvement of long-term graft…2013 American Transplant Congress
Proteinkinase C Alpha Contributes to Impairment of Renal Blood Flow and Inflammation in Hypoxia Induced Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI)
Background – Renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantion and contributes to acute transplant rejection as well as…2013 American Transplant Congress
Evidence for Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells as Another Source of IL-17 Producing Cells
Interleukin-17(IL-17) is mainly produced by a subset of CD4+T cells (TH17) .The exact source of IL-17 expression in renal graft during rejection remians unclear. A.Loverre…2013 American Transplant Congress
Bilirubin Improvement Correlates with 90-Day Survival with Use of the ELAD® System in a Randomized, Controlled Study of Subjects with Acute Alcoholic Hepatitis or Acute Decompensation of Cirrhosis
Mary Lea Johnson Richards Organ Transplantation Center, NYU SOM, New York, NY
Background: ELAD, a human cell-based liver support system, circulates ultrafiltrated patient plasma through a hollow fiber cartridge containing active immortalized C3A human liver cells. Studies…2013 American Transplant Congress
Association between Early Progression in Chronic Kidney Disease Stage Following Liver Transplantation and Graft Survival
Introduction: Renal dysfunction before and after liver transplantation is a significant predictor of graft survival (GS). This study aims to characterize the relationship between early…2013 American Transplant Congress
