Precise Antibody Characterization Using Multiple Solid Phase Assay Platforms Is Critical for Accurate Virtual Crossmatching.
Purpose: Virtual crossmatch (VXM) has been utilized in heart transplant (txp) for more than a decade. Many labs base the VXM solely on single antigen…2017 American Transplant Congress
Validation of a Novel Computational Approach for Predicting HLA Immunogenicity Based on Quantification of Structural and Surface Electrostatic Potential Differences Between Donor and Recipient HLA.
Background: Our preliminary work indicates that donor HLA immunogenicity in kidney and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be predicted by comparative assessment of donor and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Inhibition of Heat Shock Protein 90 Suppresses the Expression of MHC Class I Molecules, but Not MHC Class II Molecules, on Endothelial Cells in Allografts.
Urology, Sapporo Medical University, Sapporo, Japan
Purpose: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone that is associated with the correct activation of client proteins. Important roles of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Positive Flow Crossmatch After Negative Virtual Crossmatch -A Single Center Experience.
Pathology and Lab Medicine, London Health Sciences Center, London, ON, Canada
Aims: To determine causes of Flow Cytometry crossmatch (FCXM) after a negative virtual crossmatch (VirXM), even with sensitive solid-phase antibody assay and complete HLA typings…2017 American Transplant Congress
Using Buccal Swabs for Deceased Organ Donor HLA Typing.
Aim: In some cases, getting enough cells from a deceased donor to perform crossmatches and DNA extraction for HLA typing is challenging. Specifically this is…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate Use of a Panel of Reactive T Cell (PRT) Assay as a Pre-Transplant Marker of Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background:To assess risk of T cell mediated acute rejection a recently developed assay uses a panel of reactive T cell lines (PRT) to measure recipient…2017 American Transplant Congress
Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) and antibody mediated rejection (AMR) are associated with decreased graft survival in pediatric liver transplantation; however, the incidence of AMR is not…2016 American Transplant Congress
Breadth of HLA-Specific B Cell Reactivity and Frequency Assessed by a Novel Multiplex Bead Based Assay Predicts and Correlates with Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Northwestern University, Chicago.
Introduction: Recipients with broad sensitization to HLA defined by a high percentage of Panel Reactive Antibodies (PRA) are at higher immunologic risk for poor graft…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
C1q Donor Specific Antibody Associates with Post Transplant Biopsy Findings in Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Recipients.
We performed monitoring of conventional donor specific antibodies (DSA) and C1q binding DSA (C1q DSA) to correlate levels with pathology findings in protocol kidney biopsies…
