T-Cell Aging Parameters in the Lymph Node and Peripheral Blood Are Strongly Associated but Terminally Differentiated T Cells Are Mainly Located within the Circulation.
IntroductionAgeing is associated with changes in the peripheral T-cell immune system, which can be significantly influenced by latent cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infection. Therefore, we wanted to investigate…2017 American Transplant Congress
Memory T Cells Are Decreased in Transplant Recipients Deficient in miR-182.
Transplant Immunology Lab/Division of Abdominal Transplant, Stanford University, Stanford
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate the post-transcriptional expression of target genes. There is ample evidence that miRNAs are involved in the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Senescence and Uremia Effects in Circulating T Cells Diverge in TREG Population and Cause T Cell Shift to a Memory Profile.
Elderly kidney transplant recipients(EKtx) have higher malignancies and infections rates, but lower acute rejection incidence. Senescence seems to result in shift to memory profile and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risks Associated with Recombinant IL2 Therapy in Renal Transplantation.
Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston
Regulatory T cells are critical to allograft survival. We report a pilot study of safety and tolerability of low dose recombinant IL2 (rIL2), 1x106 units/m2/day…2016 American Transplant Congress
Selective Deletion of Notch2 on B Cells Abrogates Alloantibody Production in Fully MHC-Mismatched Cardiac and Skin Transplant Models.
Alloantibody-mediated injury remains a major challenge for the improvement of long-term graft survival and there is no effective therapy to prevent alloantibody generation post-transplant. The…2016 American Transplant Congress
Earlier Repletion of Lymphocytes After Alemtuzumab Induction Is Associated with a Lower Incidence of Infection Following Renal Transplantation.
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Introduction: Alemtuzumab has been increasingly used as an induction agent in renal transplantation, although the optimal dose is unknown. We have previously reported that alemtuzumab…2016 American Transplant Congress
Macrophage Specific Deletion of RhoA Impedes Macrophage Functions and Abrogates Chronic Rejection of Cardiac Allograft.
Surgery, The Houston Methodist, Houston, TX.
Objective. Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains the main obstacle in the long-term success of organ transplantation. Chronic rejection occurs in 40-45% of recipients at…2016 American Transplant Congress
Novel Function of CD4+ T Cell DEPTOR in Treg Homeostasis and Alloimmunity.
DEPTOR, a recently described modulator of PI-3K/mTOR signaling, is expressed by CD4+ T cells, and functions to modulate CD4+ Teff cell differentiation. Upon CD4+ T…2016 American Transplant Congress
Memory Regulatory T Cell: A Potential Actor in Immunological Operational Tolerance in Kidney-Transplant Patients via the ATP Degradation into Adenosine.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential actors in the control of self-tolerance and exacerbated inflammation. In experimental transplantation Tregs are critical to achieve alloantigen tolerance…2016 American Transplant Congress
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Polyomavirus BK Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Patients.
Background: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an index for systemic inflammatory response, and has been reported to be a prognostic marker in the patients with malignancies…
