Liver transplant (LT) is considered a reasonable therapeutic option for certain HIV+ patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). As OPTN does not collect HIV status…2015 American Transplant Congress
HLA Broad Antigen and Eplet Mismatches in Determining the Risk of Acute Rejection After Kidney Transplantation
Aim: To determine the clinical relevance of HLA-ABDR broad antigen and eplet matching for predicting acute rejection after kidney transplantation.Background: HLAMatchmaker determines structurally HLA compatibility…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Novel, Blocking Anti-CD40 Monoclonal Antibody Prolongs Non-Human Primate Renal Allograft Survival in the Absence of B-Cell Depletion Or Thromboembolic Events
Background. CD40-CD154 pathway blockade prolongs renal allograft survival in non-human primates (NHPs). However, antibodies targeting CD154 were associated with an increased incidence of thromboembolic complications…2015 American Transplant Congress

DSA MFI Does Not Predict Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection Lesions Or Gene Expression Changes in Kidney Transplants
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether donor-specific HLA antibody (DSA) levels at the time of a clinically-indicated biopsy can be predictive of the degree of antibody-mediated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Tobacco Use Is a Significant Risk Factor for Post-Transplant Biliary Complications
Surgery, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, NY.
Purpose: Biliary complications following liver transplantation are a significant source of morbidity, potentially leading to graft failure necessitating retransplantation. Smoking precipitates both microvascular and macrovascular…2015 American Transplant Congress
A New Diagnostic Tool for Antibody Mediated Rejection in Heart and Lung Transplantation: Intragraft Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies Detection
INTRODUCTION: Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the causes of dysfunction and graft loss. The limited histological features, with a weak sensibility of c4d,…
