Role of BK Virus-Specific T Cell Immune Monitoring for BK Virus-Associated Nephropathy in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Background: Reduced immunosuppression in a key therapy for BK virus (BKV)-associated nephropathy (BKVAN) in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. A study of immune monitoring against BKV…2018 American Transplant Congress
What's Normal? An Evaluation of Pediatric T Cell Markers in Healthy Controls
INTRODUCTION: Studying pediatric patients includes challenges such as difficulty obtaining samples, limited normal controls and small volumes. Standardized flow cytometry (FC) lymphocyte immunophenotyping panels are…2018 American Transplant Congress
Monitoring of Small Bowel Allografts with Kynurenine Serum Levels
Long-term success in intestinal transplantation could be significantly improved by the development of a reliable noninvasive marker of rejection, allowing early diagnosis and treatment without…2017 American Transplant Congress
NK Cells Respond to CMV Lysate by Inducing IFNγ and CD107a Surface Expression in an Antibody-Dependent Manner: This Represents a Cytokine Flow Cytometry (CFC) Assay That Could Assess Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) as a Marker of CMV Immunity in Transplant Recipients.
Background: Viral infections represent significant morbidity factors for transplant recipients. Tools to assess the efficacy of viral-specific responses are lacking. ADCC is the major antibody-mediated…2017 American Transplant Congress
Identification of Promising Targets for Tolerance Induction Following Heart Transplantation.
Clinic for Cardiac Surgery, Heart Center Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany
Introduction: Tolerance-inducing cell subsets which can support the organ acceptance following heart transplantation (HTx) can be found among dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T cells…2017 American Transplant Congress
Noninvasive Renal Transplant Graft Monitoring in Single Institution Using Cell-Free DNA in Recipient Plasma via Insertion-Deletion Allele Polymorphism.
IntroductionThere is an unmet clinical need in renal transplantation towards early detection of donor organ damage. Serum creatinine(SCr) and biopsies are not ideal.Cell-free donor DNA(cfdDNA)…2017 American Transplant Congress
Rejection of Human Kidney Allografts According to BANFF Classification Is Associated with a Chemokine-Enriched Protein Microenvironment in Biopsy Tssue.
Background: Expression profiling efforts of biopsy tissue after kidney transplantation indicate that rejection can be defined by distinct signatures. Based on pathological evaluation (BANFF) as…2017 American Transplant Congress
Association with Tacrolimus Intraindividual Variability, Acute Microinflammation Based on 1 Year-Transplanted Kidney Biopsy After Transplantation, and Biopsy-Proven Acute Rejection.
Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between tacrolimus intraindividual variability (IIV), acute microinflammation (AMI) based on 1 year-transplanted kidney biopsy, and…2017 American Transplant Congress
A Novel, Dose-Adjusted Tacrolimus Trough Concentration (TTC) Model for Prediction and Variance Estimation.
Given that a high tacrolimus (tac) intrapatient variability (IPV) increases the risk for a poor kidney transplant (tx) outcome, some experts advocate routine IPV monitoring…2017 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Randomized Trial for Predicting CMV Infection According to Baseline CMV-Specific T-Cell Immunity in Kidney Transplant Patients.
Background: Despite the use of either anti-viral prophylaxis (PF) or preemptive (PE) therapy given based on donor/recipient IgG-serostatus, Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation persists after kidney transplantation…
