Report of 20 HLAMatchmaker Eplets Present on Denatured Class I HLA Molecules
*Purpose: The purpose of this report is to describe 20 class I HLA eplets, herein called FakEplets, present on denatured HLA molecules.*Methods: The study included…2019 American Transplant Congress
Endothelial Cells Do Not Regulate Expression of CD46, CD55 and CD59 in the Presence of Anti-HLA Class I and 11 Antibodies
*Purpose: Anti-HLA antibodies, both pre-formed and de novo are associated with worse graft survival. Complement activation is an important mechanism of antibody mediated immunological injury.…2019 American Transplant Congress
The Response to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination in Pediatric Patients before and after Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Kidney transplant (KT) recipients have an increased incidence of malignancies, including Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers. Thus, HPV vaccines may have an important role in…2019 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Allografts Induce Systemic Tolerance of Heart Allografts and is Dependent on Foxp3+ Cells
*Purpose: We have successfully achieved cardiac allograft tolerance in both pigs and NHP by donor kidney co-transplantation. The mechanism of Kidney Induced Cardiac Allograft Tolerance…2018 American Transplant Congress
Determining the Relative Immunogenicity of HLA Mismatches with Calcineurin Inhibitor Immunosuppression: An Analysis of the BENEFIT and BENEFIT-EXT Renal Transplant Cohort
We studied the relative immunogenicity of HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR and -DQ MM (serological) in a cohort of 291 kidney transplant patients from the BENEFIT…2018 American Transplant Congress
Circulating Exosomes with Lung Self-Antigens, Kα1Tubulin and Collagen V, and Immune Regulatory Proteins in Lung Transplant Recipient with Primary Graft Dysfunction
Norton Thoracic Institute, St. Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center, Phoenix.
Background: Circulating exosomes isolated from lung transplant recipients (LTxRs) with acute or chronic rejection contains lung self-antigens (SAgs), K alpha 1 tubulin (Kα1T) and collagen…2018 American Transplant Congress
Antibody-Verified Eplet Mismatches as Determinants of Premature Kidney Transplant Loss
Introduction: HLA matching at the epitope level offers new opportunities to identify compatible donors for transplant candidates. HLAMatchmaker deduces B-cell epitope ('eplets' in HLAMatchmaker) mismatches…2018 American Transplant Congress
Novel Function of TIE2 in Immunoregulation
Transplant Research Program, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA.
The immunogenicity of graft microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) has immense biological significance in the modulation of the local intragraft microenvironment. EC may either support Teffector…2018 American Transplant Congress
Rapamycin Impairs Human Endothelial Cell Alloimmunogenicity Independent of PD-1/PD-1 Ligand Inhibitory Signaling
Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Rapamycin prevents costimulation blockade (CoB)-resistant rejection in mice and primates, and early human data suggests a similar salutary effect. We have hypothesized that one mechanism…2018 American Transplant Congress
Genome Wide Non-HLA Alloimmunity Contributes to Graft Loss after Kidney Transplantation
BackgroundChronic rejection is the main cause of renal transplant loss after the first year and has mostly been attributed to alloimmune responses against human leukocyte…
