Belatacept and Rapamycin Maintenance Immunosuppression in a Sensitized Nonhuman Primate Kidney Allotransplantation Model
R. Schmitz¹, Z. W. Fitch¹, M. Manook¹, J. Yoon¹, A. B. Farris², J. Kwun¹, S. J. Knechtle¹
¹Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, ²Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Desensitization with costimulation blockade and proteasome inhibition prior to kidney transplantation prevents early antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and prolongs graft survival in highly sensitized nonhuman…

Lung Transplant Recipients Developing Early DSAs are Characterized by a Shift Towards Memory B Cells Directly After Transplantation
S. Christoph¹, A. Hitz¹, R. Bellmàs Sanz¹, J. Kühne¹, B. Wiegmann², F. Ius², J. Salman², E. Chichelnitskiy¹, T. Siemeni², W. Sommer³, A. Haverich², G. Warnecke³, C. Falk¹
¹Institute of Transplant Immunology, MHH, Hannover, Germany, ²Department of Cardiothoracic, Transplant and Vascular Surgery, MHH, Hannover, Germany, ³Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
*Purpose: After lung transplantation (LTx), the development of early donor HLA-specific antibodies (eDSA) is associated with antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and poor graft survival. Since 2013,…

Effect of Rituximab Dose as Induction Therapy in ABO Incompatible Living Kidney Transplantation A Systemic Review and Network Meta Analysis
S. Hwang¹, W. Park², K. Kim¹, S. Lee¹, J. Song¹
¹Inha University, Incheon, Korea, Republic of, ²Keimyung University, Daegu, Korea, Republic of
*Purpose: ABO-incompatible living kidney transplantation (ABOILKT) has steadily become more widespread. However, the optimal immunosuppressive regimen for ABOILKT remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the…
