The Impact of Early Graft Infiltrating TCF-1LowPD-1HighCD8+ T Cells in Delayed Fc Nonbinding Anti-CD3 Antibody Protocol in the Sensitized Mouse Model
*Purpose: Fc nonbinding anti(a)-CD3 antibody has a unique effect that delayed treatment protocol induces a transplant tolerance. Delayed protocol allows early graft infiltrating cells which…2022 American Transplant Congress
The Intracellular Tacrolimus Concentration in CD3+ T Lymphocytes and CD14+ Monocytes and Its Association with Kidney Transplant Rejection
Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands
*Purpose: The intracellular tacrolimus concentration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (TAC[PBMC]) was proposed to better represent active concentration than pre-dose whole blood concentration (C0).…2021 American Transplant Congress
The Efficacy of Delayed Fc-nonbinding Anti-CD3 Antibody Treatment in Sensitized Allogeneic Mouse Heart Transplantation
*Purpose: Delayed treatment with Fc-nonbinding anti-CD3 antibody (ab) permits early graft infiltrating cells to promotes a transplant tolerance. However, graft infiltrating cells immediate after transplantation…2020 American Transplant Congress
T and B Lymphocyte Dynamics after Genetically-Modified Pig-To-Baboon Kidney Xenotransplantation with an Anti-CD40mAb-Based Immunosuppressive Regimen
1Surgery, University of Alabama at birmingham, Birmingham, AL, 2Revivicor, Blacksburg, VA, VA
*Purpose: We have evaluated recovery of T and B lymphocytes and their subsets after depletion by anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and an anti-CD20mAb (Rituximab), followed by…2020 American Transplant Congress
Immunohistochemical and Molecular Detection of NK Cells in Kidney Allografts with Antibody Mediated Rejection
Pathology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI
*Purpose: Molecular signatures specific to Natural Killer (NK) cells are closely associated with antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in transplant biopsies. We have developed an immunohistochemical…2019 American Transplant Congress
Chloroquine’s Effect on T cell Proliferation
*Purpose: An anti-malarial agent, Chloroquine (CQ), has been widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Although the precise mechanisms of CQ are…2019 American Transplant Congress
Pre-Treatment Lymphocyte Status in HCC Patients Associates with DEB-TACE Response and Correlates with Increased Regulatory Immune Cells
*Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after transplantation is associated with higher tumor grade on explant, failure to respond to DEB-TACE, and pretreatment lymphopenia. We prospectively…2019 American Transplant Congress
Case Series: Anti-Thymocyte Globulin as a Treatment for Steroid-Refractory Severe Acute Hepatitis in Children
*Purpose: Pediatric severe acute hepatitis (SAH), when not attributed to acetaminophen toxicity, is commonly hypothesized to be caused by a non-typeable viral infection and/or immune…2019 American Transplant Congress
Dichotomous Role Of Donor T Cells In The Efficacy Of Tolerogenic Therapies For Transplant Rejection
Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Costimulation blockade-based regimens are a promising strategy to promote transplant tolerance. However, their efficacy is affected by multiple factors, many of which remain unknown.…2017 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Magnetic-Electrochemical Exosome (iMEX) Technology to Detect Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Transplantation Research Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston; Exosome Diagnostic Inc, Cambridge
Methods for monitoring clinical rejection including increases in serum creatinine and urinary protein excretion may not reflect subclinical rejection. Similarly repeat biopsy may result in…
