Circulating Exosomes with Lung Self-Antigens, Kα1Tubulin and Collagen V, and Immune Regulatory Proteins in Lung Transplant Recipient with Primary Graft Dysfunction
Norton Thoracic Institute, St. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center, Phoenix.
Background: Circulating exosomes isolated from lung transplant recipients (LTxRs) with acute or chronic rejection contains lung self-antigens (SAgs), K alpha 1 tubulin (Kα1T) and collagen…2018 American Transplant Congress
Identification of T Cells as Target of Intervention to Decrease Anti-LG3 Autoantibody Levels Prior to Transplantation
Research Centre, Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM), Montreal, QC, Canada.
Autoantibodies against perlecan/LG3 fragment (anti-LG3) have been associated with accelerated allograft rejection and long-term renal allograft dysfunction. Intriguingly, anti-LG3 are present prior to transplantation in…2018 American Transplant Congress
CD4+ T Cells Are Key Barriers to Tolerance Resistance to Islet Allografts in Autoimmune NOD Mice
Pancreatic islet allografts are effective for restoring euglycemia in type 1 diabetics (T1D) but are vulnerable to rejection by autoreactive (islet-specific) and/or conventional alloreactive T…2018 American Transplant Congress
Respiratory Viral Infections Induces Exosomes and Antibodies to Lung Self-Antigens, Kα1Tubulin and Collagen V, Following Human Lung Transplantation
Respiratory viral infection (RVI) following human lung transplantation (LTx) increases the risk for chronic rejection. We demonstrated that lung transplant recipients (LTxR) with acute and…2018 American Transplant Congress
AT1R Antibody Analysis: High Proportion of Non-Specific Reactivity?
INTRODUCTION:The angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) is expressed on vascular endothelium. AT1R antibodies (Ab) have been studied to examine their relevance in renal and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Low Intensity Conditioning Protocol for Inducing Chimerism-Based Tolerance in Non-Obese Diabetic Mice
Institute for Cellular Therapeutics, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.
Type 1 diabetes is the most common chronic disease affecting children. Islet cell or pancreas transplantation offer the most physiologic approach to glucose homostasis. However…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Early Corticosteroid Treatment in Patients with Indeterminate Acute Severe Hepatitis
Background and Aims: Discrimination of acute severe autoimmune hepatitis AIH and drug induced liver injury in patients with indeterminate acute severe Hepatitis is challenging. Early…2018 American Transplant Congress
An Open-Label Proof-of-Principle Phase 2a Study to Evaluate Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Allogeneic Organ Transplant Tolerance (ASCOTT)
Background: Long-term survival of recipients of solid organ transplants is hampered by chronic rejection, disease recurrence and immunosuppression-induced toxicity. Self-tolerance is re-established after autologous hematopoietic…2017 American Transplant Congress
Detection of Specific B Cell Memory to the Perlecan LG3 Antigen in the Normal Immune Repertoire.
Autoantibodies targeting the C-terminal fragment of perlecan (LG3) were identified in patients with kidney transplantation and are associated with rejection episodes. High anti-LG3 titers were…2017 American Transplant Congress
Antibody Mapping by Protein Microarray Revealed a Unique Repertoire in Lung Transplant Recipients That Developed Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction.
Background: Development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) limits long-term success from lung transplantation (LTx). Elicitation of de novo antibody (Ab) to mismatched donor HLA…
