    Site-Directed Mutagenesis as a Tool to Investigate Immunogenicity of HLA Epitopes for Humoral Alloreactivity

    C. H. Maguire1, P. Crivello2, A. Tambur1

    1Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, 2University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany

    *Purpose: Molecular mismatch load (MML) analysis has been a proposed approach to assess donor/recipient compatibility in support of organ allocation algorithms. While conceptually appealing, MML…

    Histocompatibility Findings in the First Xenotransplants from a Pig to Deceased Human Recipient

    M. Mangiola, V. Tatapudi, J. Stern, Z. Stewart Lewis, B. Lonze, N. Ali, R. Montgomery

    Transplant Institute, NYU Langone Transplant Institute, New York, NY

    *Purpose: Humans lack α-1,3-Gal (α-gal) epitopes, and naturally occurring α-gal antibodies (Abs) cause hyperacute rejection of porcine xenografts. We conducted 2 successful xenotransplants in brain-dead…

    HLA DSA May Not Be Detected in Many Solid Organ Recipients

    J. C. Quon1, R. M. Lestz2, J. Menteer2, N. Fotiadis2, L. A. Baxter-Lowe2

    1Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, 2Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

    *Purpose: Clinically significant HLA antibodies may not be detected if their unique HLA epitopes are not represented in the single antigen reagents that are routinely…

    A Novel Application of SRTR Data to Interrogate the Effects of HLA-DQ Mismatches in Kidney Transplantation

    D. Isaacson1, M. W. Gmeiner2, V. Kosmoliaptsis3, H. C. Copley3, J. D. Schold4, A. R. Tambur1

    1Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, 2London School of Economics, London, United Kingdom, 3Cambridge University, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 4Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH

    *Purpose: Single-center studies demonstrate de-novo HLA-DQ donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are the most common and pathogenic DSA. However, HLA-DQ is not accounted for in many kidney…

    Which is More Important for Predicting De Novo DSA Production, B Cell Epitope (EPLET) or T Cell Epitope (PIRCHE) Analysis ?

    T. Kobayashi1, T. Tomosugi2, S. Sakamoto2, S. Ashimine1, K. Iwasaki1, M. Niemann3, E. Spierings4, Y. Miwa1, M. Okumura1, K. Ishiyama1, A. Takeda2, N. Goto2, S. Narumi2, Y. Watarai2

    1Aichi Medical University School of Medicine, Nagakute, Japan, 2Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya, Japan, 3PIRCHE AG, Berlin, Germany, 4UMC Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands

    *Purpose: De novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) can cause chronic ABMR, resulting in poor prognosis. Recently, mismatch at B cell epitope level, i.e. EPLET mismatch, has…

    Long-Term Outcomes of Crossmatch Positive Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplants in the United States

    S. Riad1, E. Aby1, S. Jackson2, P. Nguyen3, N. Lim1, J. Lake1

    1Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, 2Mhealth-Fairview, Minneapolis, MN, 3Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN

    *Purpose: The long-term results of crossmatch positive (XM+) simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplants are conflicting. We examined the association between crossmatch (XM) status and SLK outcomes…

    Simultaneous Liver/ Kidney Transplant Reduces Both Donor Specific and Non-Donor Specific HLA Antibodies

    X. Zhang, S. Wisel, I. Kim, S. Jordan

    Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA

    *Purpose: Kidney allografts can be transplanted across strong donor specific antibody (DSA) barriers in simultaneous liver/kidney transplant (SLK) recipients. It is suggested that preformed DSAs…
