Introduction: Can the skin component of a synchronously transplanted vascularised composite allograft (VCA) be used as a pre-rejection marker for the intestinal transplant (IT)?Methods: Recipients…2015 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Alloreactivity On Intra-Graft T Cell Homeostasis Following Small Bowel Transplantation
Columbia University Medical Center, New York.
The impact of alloreactivity on the turnover rate, phenotype and repertoire of gut-resident lymphoid cells populating human intestinal allografts is unknown. We prospectively analyzed the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Th17-Mediated Alloimmune Responses Play a Key Role in Intestinal Allograft Rejection in Humans
The Georgetown Transplant Institute, Washington, DC.
