Does Ex-Situ Atraumatic Retrograde Hepatic Artery Perfusion in Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation Reduce the Incidence of Anastomotic Biliary Strictures?
Background. Using left living donor grafts, the local ischemia of the left bile duct stump has been suspected to play a crucial role in post-transplant…2013 American Transplant Congress
Kidney-Induced Cardiac Allograft Tolerance across a Full MHC-Barrier in Miniature Swine
We have previously demonstrated that a kidney allograft has the ability to confer tolerance on a co-transplanted heart allograft procured from a class I-mismatched donor.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Prevascularized Tissue-Engineered Construct Serves as an Alternative Site for Pancreatic Islet Transplantation, A
Although the sites for clinical or experimental islet transplantation have been well established, the pancreatic islet survival and function in homing locations still remain unsatisfied.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Intrahepatic Natural Killer Cells Highly Expressing NKp46 Inhibit Early-Phase Post-Transplant Hepatitis C Virus Replication
Department of Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima City, Kasumi 1-2-3, Minami-ku, Japan
[Aim] The role of NK cells in pathophysiology of HCV infection was not entirely clear. Understanding the function of NK cells in HCV-infected patients may…2013 American Transplant Congress
Heat Shock Protein 90 Is Involved in Antibody-Mediated Rejection and Is a Potential Target of Anti-Rejection Therapy in Kidney Transplantation
Purpose: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone that is associated with the correct activation of client proteins. Important roles of…2013 American Transplant Congress
Treatment of Cryptococcosis in Solid-OrganTransplant Recipients: Relapse Is Rare after Discontinuation of Therapy
Background: Cryptococcosis is the third most common fungal infection in solid- organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Current treatment guidelines recommend 6-12 months of antifungal therapy; however,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Complement Fixing HLA Antibodies Predict Outcome in HLA Incompatible Renal Transplantation
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom
HLA incompatible [HLAi] transplantation is associated with a higher incidence of antibody mediated rejection [AMR] and Transplant Glomerulopathy [TG]. In this study, we show that…2013 American Transplant Congress
Probability of Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation Based on PRA%
Sensitization to HLA antigens creates an obstacle for the accessibility and success of kidney transplantation (KT). Highly sensitized patients have longer waiting times and some…2013 American Transplant Congress
Class I HLA Mismatches Increase Risk of Acute Rejection, Graft Loss and Formation of De Novo Class II Alloantibody
Introduction. With modern immunosuppression it is believed that HLA mismatch (mm) have little impact on kidney graft survival, except for the benefits of 0 HLA…2013 American Transplant Congress
Urea-Modified Protein Antigens to Simultaneously Assess CMV-Specific CD4 and CD8 T-Cell Responses Using a New CMV-ELISPOT Assay and Flow-Cytometry
CMV-specific T-cell monitoring is currently explored as a valuable tool to identify transplant recipients at risk for viral complications. As both CMV-specific CD4 and CD8…
