Human Islet-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Stimulate CD14+ Monocytes Resulting in Proinflammatory Cytokine Production.
Department of Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada
Introduction: The cellular events involved in the generation of an auto and allo-reactive immune response in recipients of islet transplantation are not well understood. In…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immunosuppressive Treatment Alters Gut Microbiota and Modified Gut Microbiota Affects Immune Status.
Department of Urology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, CCMU, Beijing, China
Objectives: Immunosuppressive therapies could change the host-microbial interactions, especially gut microbiota, which is an important component in systemic immunity. We evaluated the relationship between immunosuppression…2017 American Transplant Congress
BKV Clearance Time Correlates with T-Cell Receptor Repertoire Shape and Exhaustion State of BKV-Specific T-Cells in Renal Transplant Patients with Severe BKV Infection.
Reactivation of the BK polyomavirus is known to lead to severe complications in kidney transplant patients. The current treatment strategy relies on decreasing the immunosuppression…2017 American Transplant Congress
Increased T Cell Exhaustion in Dialysis Patients.
Transplantation Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
Infection is a major complication post-transplantation. Evaluating the immune system prior to transplant may allow better optimization of immunosuppression dose. T cell exhaustion has been…2016 American Transplant Congress
A Virtual Crossmatch Algorithm That Mimics the Sensitivity of Flow Cytometric Crossmatch.
NJ Sharing Network, New Providence, NJ.
Aim: The new Kidney Allocation System has increased requests for virtual crossmatches (VXM) to predict the possibility of a negative donor specific crossmatch. This study…2016 American Transplant Congress
CD9+ Regulatory B Lymphocytes Control Chronic Lung Inflammation by Inducing Effector T Cell Apoptosis.
1ITUN-INSERM U1064, Nantes, France; 2Institut du thorax, INSERM U1087/CNRS U6291, Nantes, France.
Several observations highlight the relevance of regulatory B cells (Breg) to clinical transplantation. We have identified a new Breg population expressing the CD9, able to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Recall Alloantibody Production Is Driven by CD138+ Cells Proliferating in the Spleens: An Indication for Long-Lived Plasma Cell Activities and Potential Therapeutic Target.
Comprehensive Transplantation Center/Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Background Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) generated in recall responses are produced by long-lived plasma cells (L-PC) residing in the bone marrows (BM). Mechanisms of L-PC activation,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of T Regulatory Type 1 (Tr1) Cells in Naïve and Transplanted Non-Human Primates.
Center for Transplantation Sciences, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
BackgroundT regulatory Type 1 (Tr1) cells are peripheral CD4+FoxP3- regulatory T cells expressing CD49b and LAG-3 in mice and humans. Mouse Tr1 cells inhibit antigen-presenting…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Immunosuppressants on Inducing Regulatory T Cells in Human Allo-Immune Responses.
Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
A better understanding of cytokine signaling pathways involving transcription factors of the STAT family in T cells responding to allostimulation will improve interpretation of immune-regulatory…2016 American Transplant Congress
Plasma Endothelial Microvesicle Counts Indicate Allograft Rejection Following Kidney Transplantation.
Background: The release of surface-derived microvesicles (MV) is a common phenomenon of cellular activation and occurs specifically as a consequence of terminal complement complex assembly…
