Subpopulations of Peripheral Blood Monocytes in Kidney Allograft Recipients.
Human peripheral blood monocytes may be divided into different subsets based on the expression of membrane antigens. Our pilot data suggested that after the kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of CXCR4/CXCL12 Blockade on Normal Plasma Cells In Vivo.
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplant Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Introduction:Plasma cells (PCs) are a major source of alloantibody in transplant patients.They are resistant to current therapy. Since receptor/ligand interactions in the stromal environment are…2016 American Transplant Congress
Serum Levels of Soluble Myeloid Antigens After Kidney Allograft Transplantation.
Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine (IKEM), Prague, Czech Republic.
Mononuclear phagocytes and neutrophils play a key role in early responses against the transplanted kidney allograft. It is expected that during the reperfusion of kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Digital Kidney Biopsy Evaluation: Quantification of Macrophage Prevalence in a Cross Sectional Study.
Standardized markers based on quantitative and qualitative evaluation of immune cell mass and localization in kidney biopsies may help in diagnosis and prognosis in transplantation…2016 American Transplant Congress
Monocyte Recruitment to HLA Class I Antibody-Activated Endothelial Cells Is Dependent Upon mTOR.
Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Aim: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major issue affecting solid organ transplants, manifesting with recruitment of monocytes to the endothelium of the allograft. The purpose…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Monocytes Migrate to the Contralateral Lung and Cause Neutrophilia Following Single Lung Transplant.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: Deterioration of the native lung from lung injury occurs in the majority of patients following single lung transplant, but its pathogenesis remains unknown. Here,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Derived Toll-Like Receptor-Dependent Intravascular Monocytes Cause Primary Lung Graft Dysfunction.
Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.
Purpose: Neutrophils mediate primary lung allograft dysfunction (PGD), the predominant cause of early graft loss following lung transplant. The mechanisms of neutrophil infiltration remain incompletely…2015 American Transplant Congress
Allogeneic Monocyte–Endothelial Cell Interaction Plays a Critical Role in Initiating Early Pro-Fibrosis Responses
Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
Chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), characterized by interstitial fibrosis, vascular intimal thickening, and glomerulosclerosis, has remained as leading cause of allograft failure. The role of innate…2015 American Transplant Congress
Innate Immune Memory to Allogeneic Non-Self
Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
A hallmark of adaptive immunity is the generation of long-lived, antigen-specific memory T, B, and NK lymphocytes that mount strong anamnestic (recall) responses to previously…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Organ Resident M2 Type Myeloid Cells Protect Murine Orthotropic Liver Transplants from Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury
The Dumont-UCLA Transplant Ctr., UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.
Liver ischemia reperfusion injury (lRI) is mediated by a pro-inflammatory immune response initiated by the activation of liver non-parenchymal innate immune cells, such as Kupffer…
