Paired-Donor Exchange Unrelated Living Donor Renal Transplantation With Two Separate Arterial Anastomoses to a Simultaneously Placed Vascular Prosthetic Interposition Graft in an Irradiated Field
BackgroundLack of suitable sites for arterial anastomoses presents a distinct challenge for renal transplantation in patients with significant peripheral arterial occlusive disease.MethodsWe present a case…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Lung Preservation With the Organ Care System® Promotes a Tissue Protective and Anti-Inflammatory Response During Transplantation
ObjectivesWithin INSPIRE trial standard cold storage (SOC) is compared to normothermic, ventilated donor lung preservation (Organ-Care-System®, OCS). As lung preservation may influence immune mediators (IM),…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Association of Systemic Indoleamine 2,3 Dioxygenase (IDO) Activity Simultaneous With Chronic Rejection On Allograft Kidney Biopsy
Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis.
Introduction: Previous studies from our group have shown that activity of the biomarker enzyme IDO elevates prior to acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients, as…2015 American Transplant Congress
Allo-Stimulated Interferon-γ Release and Natural Killer Cell Function Defines and Risk Stratifies Cancer Development in Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Have Cancer Post-transplantation
Reducing immunosuppression is efficacious in primary prevention of cancer in Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTR) but can precipitate graft rejection. Conventional immunosuppressive drug monitoring fails to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Anti-BTLA Antibody (6B2) Induced Prolongation of Fully MHC-Mismatched Murine Cardiac Allograft and Generation of Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells
Background: The co-inhibitory receptor B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA; CD272) has been implicated in the regulation of autoimmune and may potentially play an important…2015 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Mouse Tolerogenic B Cells Expressing PD-L1/PD-L2 in B-1a Subset
Donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) has been shown to induce donor-specific hyporesponsiveness or even immune-tolerance among alloreactive T cells in different organ transplantation models. However, the…2015 American Transplant Congress
