Cross-Linking of MHC Class I Induces Unique Transcriptional Profiles Associated With Regulation of Both T and B Cells That Precedes Induction of Allo- and Auto-Immunity Leading to Obliterative Airway Disease
Surgery, Washington Univ Sch of Med, St. Louis, MO.
Background: Incidences of chronic rejection, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), remain a major challenge to lung transplantation and development of allo- and auto-immunity has been proposed…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Specific Alloantibody After Positive Crossmatch Kidney Transplantation With Eculizumab (EC): Correlation With Transplant Glomerulopathy and Graft Failure
1Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; 2Paul Terasaki Foundation, Los Angeles, CA.
Introduction. EC (C5 blockade) reduces the incidence of early clinical acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) after +XMKTx, but does not prevent chronic AMR. We examined…2015 American Transplant Congress
Differential Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients With De Novo C1q+ and C1q- Donor Specific Antibodies
Background: We investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of C1q binding versus non-C1q binding de novo DSA in kidney transplant recipients.Methods: The study group included…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Microcirculation Inflammation in Predicting Treatment Response for Late Onset Antibody Mediated Rejection
BackgroundThere have been marked advances of immunosuppression. However, management of late onset antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after 6 months is still challenging. Despite important diagnostic and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Histologic Patterns of C4d Associated With Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection of the Lung Allograft
Pathology, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX.
The diagnosis of antibody mediated rejection (AMR) of the lung allograft still represents a diagnostic challenge for pathologist and transplant physicians alike. The morphologic and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Pregnancy After Renal Transplantation: Unfavorable Outcomes in Sensitized Patients
Einstein/Montefiore Transplant Center, Bronx.
Background: The objective of our study was to describe pregnancy and allograft outcomes in sensitized kidney recipients in a predominantly Hispanic and African-American population.Methods: This…2015 American Transplant Congress
Heart Transplant for Amyloid Patients in the Current Era of Bortezomib
Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Los Angeles, CA.
Purpose: Both amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin-related (TTR) amyloid have been viewed with reluctance to proceed with heart transplant. AL amyloid in particular…2015 American Transplant Congress
The C1q-Binding Assays and Clinical Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation
Background: Contradictory conclusions have emerged from clinical trials when testing the predictive value of C1q-binding donor-specific HLA-antibodies (HLA-DSA). The aim of this study was to…2015 American Transplant Congress
A New Diagnostic and Pronostic Tool for Antibody Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplantation: Intragraft Donor Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies Detection
INTRODUCTION: Antibody mediated rejection (AMR) is one of the main cause of loss of the kidney transplant. Despite the new BANFF classification, diagnostic difficulties and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Respiratory Infections Following Lung Transplantation Leads to De Novo Development of Antibodies to Both Donor HLA and Lung Associated Self-Antigens and Increases the Risk for Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome
Background: It is accepted that lower respiratory tract infections (LRI) post lung transplantation (LTx) are a risk factor for the development of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome…
