Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients after Conversion from Tacrolimus to Belatacept-Based Regimens
Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY
*Purpose: Immunosuppressive strategies for belatacept are variable and associated outcomes have not been well described. We examined outcomes among kidney transplant (KT) recipients converted from…2019 American Transplant Congress
Islet Xenotransplantation: A Quest for Clinically Available Immunosuppression Regimens
1Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC, 2University of Massachusetts, Worcester, MA
*Purpose: Porcine islet xenotransplantation has progressed significantly in non-human primate (NHP) studies. However, all successful NHP studies have relied upon immunosuppressive regimens that utilize drugs…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Negative Costimulatory Pd-1/pd-l1 Pathway Is Upregulated In Early Cell-mediated Rejection
Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: Extensive transcript analysis has been performed on grafts at the time of rejection, but gene expression preceding overt rejection is less well studied.*Methods: We…2019 American Transplant Congress
Toll Like Receptor 2 Mobilizes Regulatory T Cell Lymphatic Migration by Stimulating Lymphotoxin Expression
*Purpose: Regulatory T cell (Treg) afferent lymphatic migration is important for islet allograft survival. Treg express high levels of lymphotoxin (LT) and bind the LT…2019 American Transplant Congress
Reduction of Pre-Existing Alloantibodies in Highly Sensitized Belatacept-Treated Kidney Recipients
*Purpose: Recent evidence suggests that belatacept reduces the durability of pre-existing antibodies to class I and class II human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Belatacept has a…2019 American Transplant Congress
p40 Homodimer Indirectly Induce Proliferation of Endogenous Donor-Reactive Memory CD8 T Cells within High-Risk Allografts via IL-15 Signaling
Inflammation and Immunity, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: Increasing the duration of cold ischemic storage (CIS) from 0.5 to 8 hrs prior to transplant induces the increased proliferation of endogenous donor-reactive CD4…2019 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Thalidomide and Dexamethasone Co-Treatment on CD8+ T Cells
*Purpose: Thalidomide (TM) is known to have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects and dexamethasone (DX) has been reported that it also reduces inflammation and inhibits inflammatory…2019 American Transplant Congress
Selective CD28 Blockade-Mediated Inhibition of T Follicular Helper Cell and DSA Responses is CTLA-4 Dependent
Emory Transplant Center, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Clinical costimulation blockade of the CD28 pathway in the form of CTLA-4Ig has shown the ability to attenuate T cell dependent DSA responses. However,…2019 American Transplant Congress
Peripheral Blood Regulatory T Cells In The Folow In The Kidney-transplant Patients
*Purpose: Investigate the peripheral blood levels of CD4+CD25+FOXP3p3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) in patients with kidney transplant at least one year after kidney transplantation and…2019 American Transplant Congress
Costimulation Blockade Modulates Humoral Responses in Highly Sensitized Transplant Recipients
Surgery, Duke Transplant Center, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Broad human leukocyte antigen sensitization is a significant barrier to successful solid organ transplantation. Sensitized patients have poor access to donor organs, high wait…
