IL-33 Enhances the Ability of Dendritic Cells to Expand Human Regulatory T Cells.
Introduction:The importance of increasing the number of regulatory T cells (Treg) relative to T effectors for the promotion of long-term experimental allograft survival/tolerance is well-established.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Liver Targeted Expression of a Single Allogeneic MHC I Molecule Promotes Tolerance to Pancreatic Islet Allograft by Inducing Specific CD8+ Regulatory T Cells in Mice.
A. Induction of donor-specific immune tolerance is a good alternative to chronic life-long immunosuppression for transplant patients. Donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules represent the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Functional Mystacial Pad Allograft Tolerance Induced and Maintained by Vascularized Bone Marrow Transplant.
Background: Accumulating findings indicate that vascularized bone marrow (VBM) transplantation plays a critical role to promote tolerance of vascularized composite allografts (VCA) without life-long immunosuppression.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Tracking of Endogenous Graft-Reactive Tregs Reveals Their Peripheral Enrichment During Transplantation Tolerance.
Purpose: Our goal for this study was to determine the relative fates of endogenous Foxp3- conventional (Tconv) and Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) specific for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Role of Regulatory T Cells in Induction of Tolerance in Mouse Vascularized Osteomyocutaneous Allotransplantation Under Combined Costimulation Blockade.
Background: The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in allograft tolerance has been studied using various transplant models, but the mechanism in vascularized composite allotransplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Profiling Metabolic Differences Between Graft- vs. Pathogen-Elicited CD8+ T Cell Responses.
The challenge of immune modulation in transplantation is to inhibit pathologic alloreactivity while minimizing off-target toxicities and preserving protective immunity. Data have emerged demonstrating the…2016 American Transplant Congress
Aquaporin 4 Blockade Is a Novel Strategy to Prevent T Cell Activation and Effector Functions.
1Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland; 2Aeromics LLC, Cleveland.
Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) belongs to the family of integral transmembrane proteins highly permeable to water. We have previously reported that blocking AQP4 with small molecule…2016 American Transplant Congress
Exosomes with Lung Associated Self-Antigens (Collagen V and K alpha 1 Tubulin): Role in Rejection Following Human Lung Transplantation.
Immune response to HLA and non-HLA antigens play a significant role in the development of chronic and acute rejection (AR), bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), following…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Property of Modulatory T Cells Generated by Mixed Lymphocyte Culture with CD154 Blockade.
Center for Transplantation Science, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Background:Regulatory T cell (Treg) immunotherapy has been applied to minimize the immunosuppressive drugs in clinical transplantation. To avoid contamination of CD4+CD25- T cells, only highly…2016 American Transplant Congress
End-Stage Renal Disease Does Not Impair the Large-Scale Generation of Potent Alloantigen-Specific Regulatory T Cells for Immunotherapy.
Background Alloantigen-specific natural occurring regulatory T cells (nTregs) have the potential to offer a more targeted approach of immunosuppression and are the cell type of…
