Suppressing Laminin Alpha5 Creates Tolerogenic Niches for Allograft Survival
L. Li¹, M. Shirkey¹, W. Piao¹, Y. Xiong¹, V. Saxena¹, T. Zhang¹, C. Paluskievicz¹, J. Zhao², R. Abdi², J. S. Bromberg¹
¹UMB, Baltimore, MD, ²Harvard University, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Laminin α5 (Lama5) regulates CD4 T cell migration and function. We hypothesized that stromal Lama5 regulates the structure of the lymph node (LN) microenvironment…

Evaluation of Pre-Transplant T Cell Exhaustion as a Mechanism for Immune Dysfunction and Recipient Risk of Death Following Liver Transplant
K. E. Lunsford¹, N. Aware², K. Cleveland³, D. T. Nguyen⁴, E. A. Graviss⁴, L. J. Minze³, T. N. Eagar⁴, X. C. Li³, R. M. Ghobrial³
¹Department of Surgery, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, NJ, ²Department of Surgery, Houston Methodist Hosptial, Houston, TX, ³Department of Surgery, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, ⁴Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX
*Purpose: Cirrhosis-related immune dysfunction likely contributes to early mortality following liver transplant (LT) resulting from infections. We previously identified a pre-transplant biomarker panel for immune…

Lymph Node Stromal Laminin Alpha5 Regulates Antigen Specific T Cell Adaptive Immunity
L. Li¹, M. Shirkey¹, W. Piao¹, Y. Xiong¹, V. Saxena¹, T. Zhang¹, C. Paluskievicz¹, J. Zhao², R. Abdi², J. S. Bromberg¹
¹UMB, Baltimore, MD, ²Harvard University, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Laminin α5 (Lama5) is associated with immunity and regulates T cell entry and responses within the lymph node (LN). We hypothesized that stromal Lama5…

Can Cxcr3⁺Cd62l^–Cd4⁺ T Cells Serve as Early Warning Sentinels for Subclinical Rejections after Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (vca)?
M. Kim¹, D. Fisher¹, J. Loo¹, J. Skitzki¹, E. Repasky²
¹Surgical Oncology, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY, ²Immunology, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY
*Purpose: New microsurgical techniques and powerful immunosuppressive drugs have made it possible for severely injured patients to receive VCA to replace limbs, hands, or faces,…

T Cells from Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients Display Distinct TCR Repertoires
S. Negi¹, M. Li¹, A. Rutman², S. Paraskevas¹, C. Polychronakos¹, J. Tchervenkov¹
¹RIMUHC, Montreal, QC, Canada, ²McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
*Purpose: Sensitization to HLA antigens limits patient’s access to renal transplantation and causes higher risk of acute rejection and graft loss. T-cells, B-cells and donor-specific…
