Belatacept Removal by Plasmapheresis: Kinetics, Dose Adjustments and Clinical Recommendations
*Purpose: Belatacept (BELA), a protein immunosuppressant, has limited available pharmacokinetic (PK) data. Available PK data, limited to product development analyses, shows moderate intrapatient variability with…2020 American Transplant Congress
Human Live Donor Liver Transplantation is Associated with Pd-l1 Expression on Donor-Exosome-Acquiring Host Dendritic Cells
Surgery- Transplantation, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
*Purpose: Liver transplantation (LTx) has been associated with the phenomenon of “cross-dressing” of recipient dendritic cells (DCs) by donor exosome-derived MHC antigens, and acquisition of…2020 American Transplant Congress
IL-10 Signaling in T Cells is Essential for Induction of Transplant Tolerance
Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
*Purpose: Induction of long term transplant survival by “costimulation blockade” (CoB) is achieved through deletion of abortively activated alloreactive T cells and generation of graft…2020 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes and Experience with Belatacept in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation
1Emory University, Atlanta, GA, 2Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Belatacept is a selective co-stimulation blocker used in adult renal transplantation and has shown improvement in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to calcineurin inhibitors…2020 American Transplant Congress
CD11b is a Novel Alternate Receptor for CD154 During Alloimmunity
*Purpose: For decades, blockade of CD40-CD154 has been shown to be a highly effective means of inhibiting alloreactive T cell responses and inducing long-term graft…2020 American Transplant Congress
Post-Transplantation Lymph Node Fibrosis: Significant Implications in Transplant Tolerance
1Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, 2University of Maryland School of Medicine, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Lymph nodes (LNs) have been regarded as primary activation sites for alloimmunity following transplantation, but our group has revealed an additional dimension to their…2020 American Transplant Congress
CD137 Signaling in Regulatory Dendritic Cells Is Required for Suppressing a Systemic Inflammation in the bm12-Inducible Model of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
*Purpose: Although CD137 is well known as a costimulatory receptor in T cells, limited information is available for its immunoregulatory function. Here, we report that…2020 American Transplant Congress
Stability of T Reg with Combination of mTOR Inhibitors with Belatacept in Reducing Risk of Acute Rejection in Kidney Transplant
University of California San Francisco (UCSF), San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Belatacept is a costimulatory blocker that is used as de novo maintenance immunosuppression in kidney transplantation to avoid toxic effects of calcineurin inhibitors and…2020 American Transplant Congress
Co-Stimulatory Blockade Immunosuppression Facilitates Lung Allograft Acceptance Through an Increase in Local IL-5 Production by Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells
Surgery, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
*Purpose: We have recently demonstrated that co-stimulatory blockade (CSB)-induced mouse lung allograft acceptance depends on a rapid influx of eosinophils that function to downregulate T…2020 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Conversion is Safe and Effective in Adolescent and Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Nephrology, Children's National Med. Ctr., Washington, DC
*Purpose: Though tacrolimus (TAC) is a cornerstone of maintenance immunosuppression in kidney transplant recipients, some patients have significant side effects related to TAC. Conversion from…
