CHUV, Lausanne; , Basel; , Zurich; , Bern; , St Gallen; , Geneva, Switzerland; , Edmonton, Canada
Background. Polymorphisms nearby IL28B have been associated with reduced spontaneous or treatment-associated HCV clearance, but the influence of theses polymorphisms on cytomegalovirus (CMV) is not…2013 American Transplant Congress
Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin Induction Therapy Induces Donor-Specific HeliosnegFOXP3pos Regulatory T Cells in Kidney Transplant Patients
Introduction: Repopulation of regulatory T cells (Treg) after rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) induction therapy in kidney transplant patients occurs via either thymopoiesis or homeostatic proliferation.…2013 American Transplant Congress
Lymphotoxin Receptor Signaling Regulates Tolerogenic Functions of Fibroblastic Reticular Cells in the Lymph Node
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Background: Costimulatory blockade with anti-CD40L mAb plus donor specific splenocyte transfusion (DST) induces alloantigen specific tolerance. Tolerance depends on proper cell interactions and signaling in…2013 American Transplant Congress
Epidemiology and Prevention Approaches for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Disease in CMV-Seropositive Kidney Transplant (KT) Recipients: Results from a Multicenter, Prospective, Cohort Study (OPERA Study)
Background: Although much is known about the incidence and prevention strategies in CMV-seronegative KT recipients, there is comparatively little information on these issues in CMV-seropositive…2013 American Transplant Congress
Early Bacterial Infections in Simultaneous Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation: Impact of Preservation Fluid Contamination
Contamination of preservation fluid (PF) has been associated with donor-transmitted infection in renal transplantation. Despite the infectious morbidity in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT), the role…2013 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Long-Term Pretransplant Dialysis Was Not Noted on the Survival of Renal Grafts from DCD Donors
Introduction: Because of worldwide organ shortage, the average waiting period for a cadaveric renal graft is about 15 years in Japan. Therefore, recipients tend to…2013 American Transplant Congress
