Effects of Immunosuppressives On Porcine Renal Microvascular Endothelial Cell–Activated Human T Cell Proliferation: A Cellular Model of Kidney Xenotransplantation In Vitro
Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Background: The creation of genetically-modified pigs has brought us closer than ever to clinical xenotransplantation. However, the optimal immunosuppressive doses still need to be established…2015 American Transplant Congress
Presence of Donor Leukocytes and Donor MHC-Cross-Dressed Recipient Cells and Its Relationship to Direct T Cell Alloresponses After Allotransplantation
We have studied the kinetics of donor cell trafficking from the graft to recipient's lymphoid organs and its correlation to the direct T cell alloresponse…2015 American Transplant Congress
mTOR Inhibitors Reduce the Endothelial Transmigration of Leukocytes After Ischemia
ObjectivemTOR inhibitors Everolimus and Sirolimus are currently used as maintenance immunosuppressive agents to prevent rejection of solid transplanted organs. Episodes of transplant rejection and graft…2015 American Transplant Congress
