A2 To B Kidney Transplants Under Kidney Allocation System: A Prospective Study Of Anti A Titers And Correlation With Outcomes
Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN
*Purpose: The UNOS KAS system incorporates A2 to B deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKTx) to improve access and reduce disparities in wait times for B…2019 American Transplant Congress
Unifying Interpretation of Molecular HLA Typing Data between the Solid Organ Allocation Match Run and Virtual Crossmatch
*Purpose: Virtual crossmatch compares a transplant candidate’s HLA antibody assay results to the HLA typing of the donor before an organ offer is accepted. While…2018 American Transplant Congress
Can We Expect the “Unexpected”?
Northwestern University, Chicago.
A known, seemingly paradoxical, phenomenon of the HLA system is the high overall degree of homology among different HLA alleles, despite vast polymorphism in the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Temporal Variability of IgG Subclasses
Northwestern University, Chicago; Lurie Children's Hospital, Chicago.
The temporal model of IgG subclass switching supports sequential IgG conversion; however, the diversity of previously stimulated B cells is known to shape responses in…2018 American Transplant Congress
Delayed Graft Function in Live Donor HLA-Incompatible Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Study
1JHU, Baltimore; 2UCSF, San Francisco.
Background: Many patients with a willing, but incompatible live donor choose to undergo incompatible live donor kidney transplantation (ILDKT) facilitated by desensitization procedures to eliminate…2018 American Transplant Congress
A Novel Endothelial Cell Based Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity Test in Kidney Transplantation
Introduction:Relevant alloantibodies in kidney transplantation comprise anti-HLA antibodies, blood group antibodies (ABO incompatible) and anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and can initiate antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). ABMR…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Brazilian Epitope Virtual Crossmatch Protocol: A Reliable Tool for Increasing Kidney Allocation among Highly Sensitized Patients
Background: In Brazil (BZ), the kidney allocation policy for highly sensitized patients (HS) (PRA ≥ 80%) does not involve prioritization and transplants 10 times less…2018 American Transplant Congress
A New Reality: Virtual Crossmatch Can Be Used Successfully as Pre-Transplant Compatibility Testing for Most Deceased Donor Transplants at a High Volume Center
Aim: We developed a reliable virtual crossmatch (VXM) method for use as pre-transplant XM for deceased donor (DD) kidney transplantation (KTx). Here we report the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection Treatment Impact on Class I and Class II Anti-HLA Antibodies in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Characterize class I and class II donor specific antibodies (DSA) response to acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR) treatment in pediatric kidney transplant recipients (KTR).Methods:…2018 American Transplant Congress
Flow DSA-XM: Better Crossmatch or Just Different Problems?
Surgery, VCUHealth Systems, Richmond, VA.
Background. Despite the positive impact of flow crossmatching(FCXM) upon alloantibody detection, its inability to distinguish anti-Class I from Class II or non-HLA from HLA-antibodies remain…
