Sustained Alloantigen Exposure Reinforces Transplantation Tolerance
*Purpose: While advances have been made in therapies that achieve tolerance in mouse transplant models, successful tolerance is still vulnerable to inflammatory challenges that can…2022 American Transplant Congress
Anti-CD80/86 Antibody (RM80/GL-1) Suppressed Murine Donor Specific Antibody Through Anergy CD4+T Cells
*Purpose: The interactions between CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells and CD28 on T cells may play an important role in alloimmune responses. We investigated…2022 American Transplant Congress
Role of Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Murine Heart Transplant

Murine Cmv Infection Impairs Transplantation Tolerance: A Critical Role Of Intragraft Anergic Cd4 T Cells
1Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC, 2Pathology, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: It is well known that certain infections can impair the stability of transplantation tolerance in recipients who had prolonged functional grafts, resulting in graft-loss.…2019 American Transplant Congress
Responder B Cell Depletion Increased Allo-Reactive Regulatory T Cells Generated in Allo-Anergization
*Purpose: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are promising tool for induction and maintenance of transplantation tolerance. We have done a feasibility trial in kidney transplant recipients…
