10 Year Experience Using a Steroid Free Three Drug Maintenance Immunosuppression Regimen for Pancreas Transplant Alone: Comparison of Induction With Rabbit Antithymocyte Globulin +/- Rituximab
Graft survival following pancreas transplant alone (PTA) is inferior to other pancreas transplants. Steroid elimination is appealing, but a two drug maintenance strategy may be…2015 American Transplant Congress
ALDH Expression in Facilitating Cells Plays a Critical Role in Regulatory T Cell Induction and GVHD Prevention
Graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is a major source of morbidity in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), limiting its application to treat nonmalignant hematopoietic diseases and to…2015 American Transplant Congress
Dialysis Facility Kidney Transplant Referral in Georgia: 2005-2012

NKp46 Clusters at the NK Cell Immune Synapse Regulate Specific Effector Functions
1Stanford University, Stanford, CA; 2Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel.
Natural Killer (NK) cells play an important role in the first-line defense against tumor and virus-infected cells. Studies suggest NK cells have a dichotomous role…2015 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation Using Kidneys from Donation After Circulatory Death Donors: Results from the UK Experience
Introduction: Kidneys from donation after circulatory-death donors currently make up over 40% of deceased donor kidney transplants in the UK. In addition, 34% of deceased…2015 American Transplant Congress
Independent Prognostic Factors for Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Undergoing Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: UNOS Population Study
Background: The impact of regional differences in bridging locoregional therapy (LRT) use and wait times on overall survival (OS) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing…2015 American Transplant Congress
LFA-1 Is Crucial for Germinal Center Reconstruction After T cell Depletion and IL-21 Biased Antibody-Mediated Rejection
1Surgery, Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA; 2Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
[Background] Lymphocyte depletion prior to transplantation is beneficial in reducing initial maintenance immunosuppression in transplantation. However, despite its excellent efficacy in controlling T cell mediated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Peritransplant Costimulation Blockade and Rapamycin Therapy Induces Permanent Limb Allograft Survival
Aim: Using murine models, we sought to identify the mechanisms of responsible for vascularized composite allotransplant (VCA) rejection, and to thereafter, using clinically relevant peri-transplant…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characteristics and Outcomes of Renal Transplant Recipients With Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: An OPTN Registry Analysis
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) accounts for <1% of renal transplants in the US. There is limited data on the characteristics and outcomes of in pediatric…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Cytotoxic and Regulatory T Cell and B Cell Associated Gene Transcripts in Transplant Kidney Biopsies With Non-Specific IFTA and Interstitial Inflammation
Background: Patients with non –specific interstitial fibrosis/tubular atrophy (IFTA) have lower graft survival if their biopsies have interstitial inflammation, described as “ i” in Banff…
