Deceased Donor and Class II Donor Specific Antibody Predict Interface Activity While Increased Age at Time of Biopsy Predicts Fibrosis in Long-Term Pediatric Liver Allografts With Normal Liver Tests: iWITH Clinical Trial
Background: Although multiple single centers have reported deterioration of pediatric liver grafts in the face of normal liver tests, neither risk nor mechanism is understood.Methods:…2015 American Transplant Congress
Notch-1 Inhibition Promotes Immune Regulation in Solid Organ Transplantation
Notch receptor signaling plays a key role in T cell activation and differentiation, though limited data exist on its importance in immune regulation. Herein, we…2015 American Transplant Congress
A Single Center Study on Pregnacy and Allograf Function Outcomes Post Heart Transplant
Heart Transplant, Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nasvhille, TN.

Pretransplant Antibodies Against Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor in Renal Transplantation: Preliminary Data from the KNOW-KT Study
BackgroundThe antibodies (Abs) against angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) have been suggested as a risk factor for graft failure and acute rejection. However, incidence…2015 American Transplant Congress
B-Cell Tolerance to Donor Alloantigens
Pre-existing panel-reactive antibodies and development of donor-specific alloantibodies are known to play important roles in graft dysfunction and deterioration. Preventing and/or eliminating alloantibody responses would…2015 American Transplant Congress
Elective Allograft Nephrectomy After Transplant Failure
University Hospitals, Transplant Institute, Cleveland, OH.
Background/Methods: Because of high rates of allograft intolerance and alloantibody sensitization after kidney transplant failure, we undertook a pilot study of elective allograft nephrectomy (ENx)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Natural History of Anti- Human Leukocyte Antigen Antibodies After Hear Transplant
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: The natural history of the production of circulating antibodies has not yet been clearly established. Recent technology has allowed for the improved detection of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Complement Inhibition Via the Lectin Pathway Improves Experimental Cardiac Graft Survival
Purpose: While complement activation via both the classical as well as the lectin pathway is believed to contribute to allograft loss, their relative contribution is…2015 American Transplant Congress
MHC-Class-II Specific Sensitization in a Non-Human Primate Model of Sensitzation
1Emory University, Atlanta, GA; 2Medical University Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
[Background] Sensitization before transplantation and de novo alloantibodies affect a significant number of patients awaiting kidney transplantation. The type of anti-HLA antibody varies with subgroups…2015 American Transplant Congress
Outcome of Bortezomib/Plasmapheresis for the Sensitized Patient Awaiting Heart Transplant
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: Allosensitization of patients (pts) awaiting heart transplantation is a significant challenge as it prolongs the time to transplant, increases wait-list mortality and increases risk…
