Alloprimed Antibody-Suppressor CD8⁺ TCells Preferentially Kill Alloprimed Germinal Center B Cells
J. Zimmerer, S. Chaudhari, G. Bumgardner
OSUWMC, Columbus, OH
*Purpose: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a significant contributor to transplant rejection. Our prior work identified a novel subset of CXCR5+CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TAb-supp cells)…

Modification of Gut Microbiota Accelerates Kidney Repair After Experimental Ischemia Reperfusion Injury
S. Gharaie, K. Lee, S. Noel, L. Arend, H. Rabb
Johns Hopkins Medicine, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Kidney ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) leads to changes in gut microbiome, and pre-IR microbiome changes can modify course of experimental tissue injury. There is…
