Enhanced Production of Macrophage Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1) Within the Kidney in Brain Death Donors Predicts Recipient Allograft Function
Medicine/Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Brain death (BD) induces an intense pro-inflammatory state, which may impact recipient immunity and graft function after kidney transplantation. The identification of biomarkers predictive of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Specific Alloantibody After Positive Crossmatch Kidney Transplantation With Eculizumab (EC): Correlation With Transplant Glomerulopathy and Graft Failure
1Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; 2Paul Terasaki Foundation, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction. EC (C5 blockade) reduces the incidence of early clinical acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) after +XMKTx, but does not prevent chronic AMR. We examined…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Kidneys Procured from Donors With KDPI > 80%
TRIBE Consortium, New Haven, CT.
Kidneys procured from donors with KDPI>80% are often biopsied and pumped, yet frequently discarded. The accuracy of these quality assessment tools remain controversial but contribute…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Effects of High-Risk Donors and Recipients on Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients Program-Specific Outcomes
Public reporting of transplant program-specific outcomes may dissuade programs from accepting high-risk donors and recipients, and thereby restrict access to transplant. It has been proposed…2015 American Transplant Congress
Multicenter Validation of a Molecular Diagnostic for Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Human Renal Allograft Biopsies
1University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; 2Imperial College, London, United Kingdom.
Background: In 2013, the Banff classification adopted molecular diagnostics as an adjunct for the diagnosis of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) in renal allografts. The NanoString gene…2015 American Transplant Congress
Late Antibody-Mediated Rejection in a Large Cross-Sectional Cohort of Kidney Transplant Recipients – Results of the Screening Phase of the BORTEJECT Study
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is well established to be a leading cause of graft failure. Here, we investigated the prevalence of late ABMR in a large…2015 American Transplant Congress
B7-H1 Deficiency in Liver Allografts Leads to CD8-Mediated Acute Vascular Rejection
The liver is a unique organ in that it is accepted across complete MHC mismatch in allotransplantation in a number of species. The mechanisms behind…2015 American Transplant Congress
Investigation of Myocardial Function in Pediatric Transplant Recipients
Children's National, Washington, DC.
Purpose: In light of the major impact of cardiovascular morbidity on long-term transplant outcomes, a prospective controlled study was conducted to investigate changes in myocardial…2015 American Transplant Congress
Adoptive Transfer of T Cell Receptor-Transgenic (TCR-Tg) Cells Alters Endogenous Immune Responses During Acute Rejection
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL.
In addition to the therapeutic use of adoptive transfer of T cells to combat viral infections and malignancies in humans, adoptive transfer of T cell…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunoglobulin G Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibody Subclasses and Kidney Allograft Antibody-Mediated Injury
Experimental and clinical data suggest that antibodies have different pathogenicities according to their IgG subclasses. We investigated the association between IgG subclasses of circulating anti-HLA…
