A. Trans-membrane Activator and CAML Interactor (TACI) controls B cell differentiation and memory and exists as numerous allelic variants among healthy individuals and individuals with…2017 American Transplant Congress
Rapid Depletion of Circulating DSA and Treatment of Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection with the Combination of CTLA-4Ig/Belatacept and Bortezomib in Mouse and Man.
1Sugery, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL; 2Surgery, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is a major cause of rejection, and there are limited therapeutic options for reversing alloantibody production when it is fully established.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Validation of a Novel Computational Approach for Predicting HLA Immunogenicity Based on Quantification of Structural and Surface Electrostatic Potential Differences Between Donor and Recipient HLA.
Background: Our preliminary work indicates that donor HLA immunogenicity in kidney and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be predicted by comparative assessment of donor and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Tofacitinib (JAK-3 Inhibitor) on De Novo HLA-A2 Antibody Production in a Mouse Model of Allo-Sensitization.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Purpose: Tofacitinib is a Janus Kinase Inhibitor currently approved by FDA for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In considering its effect in reducing B cell proliferation…2017 American Transplant Congress
De Novo Donor-Specific Antibodies After Allograft Nephrectomy.
Introduction: although the development of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) is a known event after allograft nephrectomy (Nx), there are few studies describing the tempo, class and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Endocapillary NK Cells Are Increased in Indication Renal Transplant Biopsies with Antibody and T Cell Mediated Rejection.
Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI
Detection of NK cell transcripts in renal transplant biopsies is associated with antibody mediated rejection (AMR). Similarly, quantification of endocapillary NK cells in paraffin tissue…2017 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Value of Pre-Transplant Cross-Match Techniques on Living Donor Kidney Transplant Outcomes.
Study aim: To investigate the impact of different cross-match techniques and their combination before living-donor kidney transplantation(LDKT) on main clinical outcomes.Methods: Retrospective study including 394…2017 American Transplant Congress
Differential Effect of Antibody Removal on ABO Blood Group Type Chain Specific Antibodies Over Time.
Introduction: The trisaccharide epitope defines A&B blood group antigens where antibody binds to subtype chains (I-VI), but only subtype II is expressed on cardiac vascular…2017 American Transplant Congress
Significant Allosensitisation Despite Early, within 24 Hour, Graft Nephrectomy.
Introduction: Although it is well known that allograft nephrectomy (Nx) is followed by the development of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) even after a short transplant period,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Strategy for Analysis of Donor-Specific Antibody Repertoire: Paired Immunoglobulin Heavy and Light Chain Analysis of Individual Memory B Cells.
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is the most challenging immunological barrier to overcome in human transplantation and one of the most prevalent causes of kidney allograft loss.…
