Alterations in Peripheral Blood B Cell Subpopulations in Kidney Transplant Recipients With DSA
Peripheral blood B cell subpopulations were assessed over time (1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months) in living donor kidney transplant recipients undergoing thymoglobulin (n…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Natural Killer Cell Activation by NK Cell-Specific Interferon-Gamma-Releasing Assay
Introduction: Although NK cell activity (NKA) has a variety of measuring markers including chromiun release assay and flowcytometry-based cytolysis, limitations such as radioactivity and lack…2015 American Transplant Congress
Biomarker Panel Profile for Identification of High-Risk Patients After Heart Transplantation
Background: The first year after cardiac transplantation is critical for transplant survival and long-term outcome. Identification of suitable biomarkers for detection of rejection processes is…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transient Lymphopenia Breaks Costimulatory Blockade-Based Transplant Tolerance and Initiates Allograft Rejection
【Background and Objective】: Lymphopenia is induced by lymphoablative therapies and chronic viral infections. Lymphopenia is observed in some pathological and physiological processes, including chronic viral…2015 American Transplant Congress
Comprehensive Study of 3 Nomenclatures to Discriminate CD8 Subsets in Healthy Volunteers and in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Objective. Historical classification to distinguish central memory (CM), naïve, effector memory (EM), and terminally-differentiated effector memory (TEMRA) CD8 T cells is based on CD45RA and…2015 American Transplant Congress
Intra-Renal Cytokine Measurement Detected During Kidney Allograft Biopsies Portend Severity of Histological Injury
Division of Nephrology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.
Histological changes observed on renal allograft biopsies, although considered the current standard for evaluation of allograft injury, lack specificity and disease activity assessment. We devised…2015 American Transplant Congress
Characterization of a Nude Mouse Model of Allosensitization Conditioned by Adoptive Transfer of Follicular T Helper Cells
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Background Follicular T helper (Tfh) cells play a critical role in follicular B cell activation and maturation during antibody responses to allograft. Here we report…2015 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Display Distinct Cell Surface Markers and May Explain the Induction of Tolerance by Kidney Allografts
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Achieving tolerance in heart allografts is an important area of research as the need for heart transplantations increase. Recent studies in non-human primates (NHPs) have…2015 American Transplant Congress
Interleukin-1 Receptor Signaling by Graft Stromal Cells Regulates Donor-Reactive CD8 T Cell Responses to Cardiac Allografts
Allograft reperfusion induces inflammation that directs the infiltration of memory T cells into the allograft and their activation to express functions mediating graft injury. The…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Precentage of Circulating CD16+ Monocytes Before Transplantation Are Associated With the Occurence of Acute Rejection
Introduction: Monocytes compose a neglected immune cell type in transplantation despite their contribution to antibody mediated rejection. We aimed to define the phenotypic and functional…
