Effect of Complement Inhibition Therapy (Eculizumab) in Patients with C1q-Binding Donor-Specific Anti-HLA Antibodies: A Molecular Appraisal.
Complement-binding anti-HLA DSA have demonstrated higher rejection rate and decreased allograft outcome. We investigated the effect of terminal complement inhibition (Eculizumab) in a cohort of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Evaluation of Conformational Diversity of a Single HLA-I Molecule Coated on Single Antigen Beads: Potential Impact on Organ Allocation?
Terasaki Foundation Laboratory, Los Angeles, CA.
Recombinant HLA-I (rHLA-I) molecules are the antigenic targets used to screen HLA-I DSA in the sera of pre- or post-transplant patients. A conformational diversity, β2-microglobulin-associated…2016 American Transplant Congress
Improving Kidney Allocation System with Higher Resolution.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: The new kidney allocation system (KAS) was implemented to help identify compatible donors for the most highly sensitized patients. Our experience, as well as…2016 American Transplant Congress
Graft Survival in Sensitized and Non-Sensitized Patients: Role of the Combination of Donor-Specific Antibodies and Acute Rejection.
Background: Sensitized (S) patients have higher risk for acute rejection (AR), especially ABMR. DSA is a risk fator for ABMR, however, its impact on AR…2016 American Transplant Congress
Solid Phase Assay Demonstrates High Rates of Allosensitization in Pediatric Heart Recipients.
Allosensitization is a risk factor for rejection, vasculopathy and graft loss. CTOTC-04 is a prospective study assessing the impact of sensitization on a composite of…2016 American Transplant Congress
De Novo Anti-HLA DSA Characteristics and Subclinical Antibody Mediated Kidney Allograft Injuries.
Nagoya daini red cross hospital, Nagoya, Japan.
Background It has been reported that de novo donor-specific HLA antibody (dn DSA) production is associated with chronic antibody-mediated rejection (CAMR) which leads to poor…2016 American Transplant Congress
Anti-HLA Antibody Composition and Outcomes in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients with a Positive Cross-Match.
Purpose: Utilization of positive (+) cross-match (XM) hearts is tempting when shortages of pediatric donor hearts exist, especially for patients with high pre-transplant panel reactive…2016 American Transplant Congress
Optimizing CPRAs for Sensitized Kidney Waitlist Candidates: The Devil Is in the KAS Details.
The new kidney allocation system (KAS) has increased transplant rates for highly sensitized candidates. We hypothesized that increasing unacceptable antigens to transition candidates from 80-98%…2016 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Outcomes Following Antibody Mediated Rejection (AMR) in Renal Transplant Recipients.
Columbia University, New York.
INTRO: Progress in AMR treatment has improved early graft survival. Since the new kidney allocation system results in more sensitized patients getting transplanted, we expect…2016 American Transplant Congress
Dilution of Patient Sera Improves MFI Correlation with Complement Fixation in Solid Phase Assay Assessment.
Background: Median Fluorescent Intensity (MFI) by solid phase assays (SPA) has been used to determine risk of donor-recipient reaction prior to transplant. Inconsistency of this…
