Cytotoxic CD8 T Cell Recognition of Acquired, Intact MHC Alloantigen On Host Dendritic Cells Promotes Acute Allograft Rejection
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
IntroductionAlthough there is increasing evidence that recipient DCs can acquire intact MHC class I by trogocytosis from parenchymal cells, the functional relevance of the 'semi-direct'…2015 American Transplant Congress
Natural History of Anti- Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies After Hear Transplant
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: The natural history of the production of circulating antibodies has not yet been clearly established. Recent technology has allowed for the improved detection of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Urinary CXCL10 Independently Improves the Noninvasive Diagnosis of Antibody-Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection
The urinary levels of CXCL9 and CXCL10 can noninvasively diagnose T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts. Their performance as diagnostic/prognostic markers of antibody-mediated rejection…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of a Desensitization Protocol Using Plasmapheresis and Intravenous Immunoglobulin On Graft Outcome in Kidney Recipients With Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies
Hospital Geral de Fortaleza, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Introduction: Kidney transplantation in patients with donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) has been associated with a worse prognosis. The high cost, infectious complications and conflicting results…2015 American Transplant Congress
