    Cytotoxic CD8 T Cell Recognition of Acquired, Intact MHC Alloantigen On Host Dendritic Cells Promotes Acute Allograft Rejection

    J. Ali, S. Harper, M. Negus, E. Bolton, J. Bradley, G. Pettigrew.

    University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.

    IntroductionAlthough there is increasing evidence that recipient DCs can acquire intact MHC class I by trogocytosis from parenchymal cells, the functional relevance of the 'semi-direct'…

    Cellular Mechanism of Enhanced Alloimmunity by Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

    Z. Solhjou, M. Uehara, S. Ohori, M. McGrath, J. Azzi, S. Tullius, R. Abdi.

    Transplant Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

    Ischemia reperfusion injury of transplanted organs represents a key pathogenic inflammatory process, which increases their allogenicity; subsequently augmenting the rate of acute and chronic rejection.…

    Rational Development of Alloantigen Specific Regulatory T Cell Therapy Requires Insight Into Longevity of Alloimmune Pathways

    J. Ali, M. Negus, E. Bolton, J. Bradley, G. Pettigrew.

    University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.

    IntroductionWe have recently demonstrated that indirect-pathway responses against different alloantigens differ in their strength and longevity; specifically, that indirect responses against MHC class I alloantigen…

    IL-2-Dependent Natural Killer Cell Responses to Epstein-Barr Virus B Cell Lymphomas Involve the NKG2A/NKG2C Axis

    O. Hatton, D. Strauss-Albee, C. Blish, C. Esquivel, S. Krams, O. Martines.

    Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.

    Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection elicits a strong host immune response that is considered to be essential for control of the virus and for preventing…

    Controlling Alloreactive B Cell Responses in Sensitized Recipients With CTLA-4Ig

    J. Chen,1 Q. Wang,1 D. Yin,1 V. Vu,1 R. Sciammas,2 A. Chong.1

    1Depart of Surgery, University of Chicago, Chicago; 2Immunobiology Transplant Center, Houston Methodist Research Institute, Houston.

    Sensitized recipients are defined by the presence of pre-transplant donor-specific antibodies and have significantly poorer graft outcomes compared to unsensitized recipients despite efforts to desensitize.…

    Virus Induced CD28 Down-Regulation as a Potential Driver of Costimulation Blockade Resistant Rejection

    D. Mou,1 J. Espinosa,1 L. Stempora,2 J. Kwun,2 N. Iwakoshi,1 A. Kirk.2

    1Surgery, Emory University, Atlanta, GA; 2Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.

    Belatacept, a B7-specific fusion protein, blocks CD28-B7 costimulation and prevents kidney allograft rejection. However, it is ineffective in a sizable minority of patients. Although T…

    Enhanced Requirement for TNF Signaling on Low Affinity Memory CD8+ T Cells During Heterologous Immunity

    S. Krummey,1 C.-W. Chen,1 D. Liu,1 M. Wagener,1 B. Evavold,2 C. Larsen,1 M. Ford.1

    1Emory Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA; 2Microbiology and Immunology, Emory University, Atlanta, GA.

    Heterologous immunity, defined as a process during which microbe-specific T cells cross-react with allogeneic antigen and mediate graft rejection, is recognized as a significant barrier…

    T Cell C5a Receptor (C5aR) Signaling Regulates T Follicular Helper Cell (Tfh) Induction

    D. Verghese, P. Heeger.

    Translational Transplant Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY.

    Tfh cells, in part via IL-6 dependent production of IL-21, are specialized providers of B cell help. Extending previous work in which we showed that…

    Diabetic Kidney Transplant Recipients: Impaired Infection Control and Alloreactivity

    T. Schachtner,1,2 M. Stein,2 P. Reinke.1,2

    1Nephrology and Internal Intensive Care, Charité Campus Virchow Clinic, Berlin, Germany; 2Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies, Berlin, Germany.

    New onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) has been associated with an increased risk of infection and sepsis. Previous studies, however, failed to identify differences in…

    Anti-Donor T-Cell Immunity Is a Continuum Immune Process Favouring Subclinical Rejection After Kidney Transplantation

    E. Crespo,1 M. Lucia,1 J. Cruzado,1,2 S. Luque,1 E. Melilli,2 A. Manonelles,1,2 N. Sala,2 J. Grinyó,1,2 O. Bestard.1,2

    1Experimental Nephrology Laboratory, IDIBELL, Barcelona, Spain; 2Nephrology Department and Renal Transplant Unit, Bellvitge University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain.

    Subclinical T-cell mediated rejection (sc-TCR) accounts for a major cause of kidney allograft loss and is unexpectedly found in a rather important number of protocol…
