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
Pus Bonum Et Laudabile? – Wound Healing Complications after Heart Transplantation in the 21st Century
IntroductionToday, transplant recipients are older, sicker and have more co-morbidities than in earlier eras. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate incidence, risk factors…2013 American Transplant Congress
Role of the Alternative Pathway of Complement in Ischemia/Reperfusion and Chronic Graft Injury in a Mouse Model of Kidney Allograft
Transplant Research Center, Mario Negri Institute, Bergamo, Italy
Several studies suggested that activation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement participates in kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In mouse models of renal artery clamping,…2013 American Transplant Congress
Thymoglobulin Plus Basiliximab vs Basiliximab as Induction Therapy in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients Treated with Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil: 1-Year Results of a Prospective Clinical Trial
Surgery - Renal Transplantation, Catholic University, Rome, Italy
Purpose. The aim of this prospective, exploratory, single center study in kidney transplantation was to compare two immunosuppressive induction regimens: thymoglobulin plus basiliximab (THY) versus…2013 American Transplant Congress
Hypoxia Enhances Dendritic Cell Antigen Presentation through the Indirect Pathway
Transplant Research Center, Mario Negri Institute, Bergamo, Italy
Evidence is available that, in kidney transplantation, ischemic injury causes activation of intragraft dendritic cells (DCs), a key event for T cell alloactivation through the…2013 American Transplant Congress
Dynamics of Donor-Specific Antibodies in Kidney Transplantation: Pretransplant Anti-HLA Class I DSA Not Associated to Early Graft Loss Disappear after Transplantation under Conventional Immunosuppression
The impact of donor-specific antibodies(DSA) after kidney transplantation(KT) on graft survival is becoming clearer, but which DSA have the greater impact or how they behave…2013 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Specific HLA Antibodies in Crossmatch Negative Renal Transplant Patients Associates with Delayed Graft Function
In kidney transplantation delayed graft function (DGF) is a significant clinical problem affecting the kidney allograft during the whole clinical course. DGF also leads to…
