Donor MHC Independent Rejection of Islet Allografts in Autoimmune NOD Mice
In autoimmune Type 1 diabetes (T1D), pancreatic islet allografts have somewhat limited long-term survival, both in T1D human subjects and in spontaneously diseased non-obese diabetic…2015 American Transplant Congress
Effectiveness of Neovascularization Surrounding Engrafted Islets by Matrigel With Additional Growth Factors in Intramuscular Islet Transplantation
Introduction: Intramuscular islet transplantation is one of the promising transplant sites because of safety, easy accessibility and less invasive procedure. However the efficacy of the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Indefinite Survival of Fully MHC-Mismatched Murine Cardiac Allografts by Combination of Anti-BTLA mAb (6B2) and Anti-PD-1 mAb (PIM-2)
Background: The co-inhibitory receptor B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) and Programmed death (PD)-1 had been suggested to have immunomodulatory activity. This study investigated the…2015 American Transplant Congress
miRNA-181 Promotes Graft Prolongation by Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells By Increasing T Regulatory Cells and Decreasing B Cells as Revealed By Cytometry By Time-Of-Flight
1Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, CA; 2Pediatrics, UCSF, San Francisco, CA.
Liver allografts are well tolerated and other solid organ allografts, when transplanted concurrently with livers, show improved outcomes. However, the mechanisms underlying “hepatic tolerance” have…2015 American Transplant Congress
Living and Dead Mesenchymal Stem Cells Induce an Immunosuppressive Response in an Experimental Sepsis Model
There is evolving interest in the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) as a cell therapeutic agent after solid organ transplantation. The nature of the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Transient Lymphopenia Breaks Costimulatory Blockade-Based Transplant Tolerance and Initiates Allograft Rejection
【Background and Objective】: Lymphopenia is induced by lymphoablative therapies and chronic viral infections. Lymphopenia is observed in some pathological and physiological processes, including chronic viral…2015 American Transplant Congress
MDSC Derived from iPS Cells Regulate the CD8 T Cell Response In Vivo
Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) may represent a therapeutic tool for inducing tolerance in transplantation and autoimmune disorders. MDSC propagated from bone marrow (BM) can…2015 American Transplant Congress
Proteasome Inhibition by Bortezomib Prevents Early Graft Failure After Pancreatic Islet Transplantation
Background: Islet graft loss caused by injurious inflammatory and innate immune responses, is a major obstacle in pancreatic islet transplantation (PIT). In this pathophysiology, the…2015 American Transplant Congress
Expression Patterns of Neuropilin-1 On T Cells and a Potential Role in Transplantation
Department of Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.
Introduction: Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a co-receptor for a variety of ligand families including VEGF, EGF and semaphorins all of which are often produced by malignant…2015 American Transplant Congress
Recipient IL-33 Promotes Type 1 Alloimmunity and Lethal Acute GVHD Following alloHCT
Background: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic (allo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that limits its widespread application for the induction of transplant…
