Kidney Transplantation in Older Recipients with HLA-DR Mismatch: Impact of Induction Type on Outcomes
*Purpose: In kidney transplantation, donor-recipient HLA-DR mismatch signals high immunologic risk and can result in poor transplant outcomes. Older kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are more…2019 American Transplant Congress
HLA-DR Upregulation in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Biopsies
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC

HLA-DR4 Matching and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence after Liver Transplantation
PURPOSE: The phenomenon of graft versus host disease after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is estimated at approximately 1-2%, suggesting that under some circumstances, the graft…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Steroid Maintenance on the Outcomes of HLA-DR Mismatch Kidney Transplantation
Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA.
In kidney transplantation, donor-recipient HLA-DR mismatch poses high immunologic risk and is associated with inferior outcomes. We aimed to explore the impact of enhanced immunosuppression…2017 American Transplant Congress
HLA-DR Based Murine Transplant Model for Studying Collagen Type V Autoimmunity in Chronic Allograft Rejection.
Dept. of Surgery/Transplant Division, UW Madison, Madison, WI
