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,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Immunomodulatory Effects of Neuropilin-2 On T Cells
Axonal guidance molecules are expressed within the immune system and elicit anti-inflammatory effects with potential to target auto- and alloimmunity. The neuropilin (NRP) family receptors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Hepatocyte-Related miR-193a-3p Is Over-Expressed in Allograft Biopsy from Liver Tolerant Recipients
While liver transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage liver diseases, its success is compromised by the need to administer life-long immunosuppression, which negatively…2015 American Transplant Congress
Epidemiology and Outcomes of Non Tuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Infections in Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) Recipients
Infectious Diseases, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO.
Background: NTM are uncommon causes of infection in SOT recipients but may cause significant morbidity and mortality.Methods: A retrospective cohort of all patients who underwent…2015 American Transplant Congress
Tandem P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand-Immunoglobulin (TSGL-Ig) Protects Liver Endothelial Cells Against Prolonged Cold Preservation Injury in Mouse Liver Transplantation
Background: Liver endothelial cell (LEC) damage is central in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). LEC detachment/progressed denudation are typical during cold storage and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Patient and Process-Level Factors Associated With Kidney Transplant Readmissions
Readmissions following kidney transplantation (KTX) are common, with complex etiologies. There is a lack of research exploring the potential of optimizing post-transplant processes to reduce…2015 American Transplant Congress
Clinical and Radiological Predictors of Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis (TRAS)
Elevated peak systolic velocity (PSV) on Doppler ultrasound at the transplant renal artery (TRA) does not always correlate with true transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Non-Chimeric HLA-Identical Renal Transplant Tolerance: Regulatory Immunophenotypic/Genomic Biomarkers
Background. We previously described 3-year results of a non-chimeric tolerance protocol in HLA-identical living donor renal transplant (RT) recipients and now report on longer term,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Controlling Alloreactive B Cell Responses in Sensitized Recipients With CTLA-4Ig
Sensitized recipients are defined by the presence of pre-transplant donor-specific antibodies and have significantly poorer graft outcomes compared to unsensitized recipients despite efforts to desensitize.…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Patient Functional Status on the Associations Between Kidney Transplant Waitlisting, Race, and U.S. Region
Background: Black race and Southeastern residence at the start of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are associated with reduced access to the U.S. kidney transplant waitlist,…
