Immunomodulatory Effects of Neuropilin-2 On T Cells
Axonal guidance molecules are expressed within the immune system and elicit anti-inflammatory effects with potential to target auto- and alloimmunity. The neuropilin (NRP) family receptors…2015 American Transplant Congress
Risk Stratification in Tailoring Induction Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients(KTR): Is It Cost-Effective?
Transplant, Univ. of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT.
Intro: Selecting induction therapy based on immunologic risk in KTR has gained popularity but there has yet to be a study evaluating the cost beyond…2015 American Transplant Congress
Influence of Race on P-Glycoprotein Function in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
Purpose: African Americans (AA) renal transplant recipients (RTR) have poorer long term allograft survival compared to Caucasians(C) which may be attributed to racial differences in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Three Year Outcomes of Renal Allograft Transplants in African American Recipients Receiving Alemtuzumab for Induction Immunosuppression
Ochsner Clinic Foundation, New Orleans, LA.
Background:Induction with Alemtuzumab is well documented to reduce the incidence and severity of acute rejection episodes, which may improve graft survival. Limited data are available…2015 American Transplant Congress
Primary and Secondary Vaccine Responses in a Non-Human Primate Model of Cardiac Allotransplantation
Purpose: To compare the effect of calcineurin- versus costimulation-based immunosuppression on primary and secondary vaccine responses in non-human primate heart transplant recipients.Background: Antibody response following…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluating the Benefits of Everolimus on Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy: Further Evidence from Results of Imputations for Missing IVUS Data from A2310 Study
Purpose: A2310 IVUS study showed that everolimus (EVR) provides cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) benefit compared to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) by assessing the mean change in…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transplantation of Kidneys from Donors With Acute Renal Failure: Five-Year Results from Double Center Experience
Background: Transplantation of kidneys from deceased donors with acute renal failure (ARF) has been described and represents an underutilized source of renal grafts. We reviewed…2015 American Transplant Congress
High Intra-Patient Variability in Tacrolimus Trough Blood Levels Increases the Risk of Death-Censored Graft Loss After Kidney Transplantation
Kidney graft loss rates beyond the first year showed only small improvements over past decades. Advances in maintenance immunosuppressive therapy contributed to the improvements seen…2015 American Transplant Congress
Do Induction Therapy, Patient-Level and Post-Operative Factors Impact Outcomes in Moderate to High Immunologic Risk Simultaneous Kidney-Pancreas Transplantation in the Era of Stringent HLA Cross-Matching?
Background: Simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation (SPK) is a lifesaving procedure for patients with diabetes mellitus. The success of SPK is dependent upon minimization of…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effect of Distinct Immunosuppressive Protocols On the Profile of Cytokines Expression in Renal Transplant Recipients of Extended Criteria Donor Kidneys
Background: Transplant recipients (RTx) of kidneys classified as extended criteria (ECD) seems to have worst outcomes when compared with RTx of standard kidneys (SCD) and…
