    CTLA4Ig Suppresses Memory Responses to HLA-A2+ Skin Grafts in a Mouse Model of Allosensitization by Reducing CD138+ Plasma Cells.

    G. Wu, I. Kim, N.-N. Chai, S. Jordan, A. Klein.

    Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA

    Purpose: In previous studies we demonstrated that CTLA4Ig suppresses de novo T-cell activation through blocking CD28 co-stimulation and attenuates recall alloantibody responses following re-exposure to…

    Persistence/Progression of Early Banff Borderline Changes (BBC) Is Associated with Chronic Renal Allograft Damage and Can Be Predicted by B Cell Cytokine Profile.

    A. Cherukuri, A. Sharma, R. Mehta, S. Hariharan, D. Rothstein.

    UPMC, Pittsburgh

    The clinical significance of early histological BBC in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) is unclear. It is also unknown if biomarkers predict progression to acute rejection…
