    Soluble Fibrinogen-Like Protein 2 Regulates MDSCs Differentiation and Function in Allograft Immunity

    C. Yang

    Urology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

    *Purpose: Soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 (sFGL2) is a novel immunoregulatory molecule, secreted mainly by regulatory T cells. CD11b+ Gr1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are an…

    Human Neutrophil Function against Pathogens in Solid Organ and Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

    N. Barros, N. Alexander, Z. Dagher, S. Knooihuizen, A. Viens, A. R. Hopke, D. Irimia, M. K. Mansour

    Transplant Infectious Diseases, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA

    *Purpose: The effects of solid organ (SOT) and allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) on the neutrophil function is not well described. In this study, we…

    The Role of CD46 in Early Islet Engraftment in a Dual Transplant Model

    Q. Gao, K. Samy, R. Davis, M. Song, A. MacDonald, F. Leopardi, T. How, K. Williams, G. Devi, B. Collins, A. Kirk.

    Department of Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC.

    IntroductionMembrane cofactor protein (CD46) is known to attenuate the complement cascade by facilitating cleavage of C3b and C4b. In solid organ xenotransplantation, organs expressing CD46…

    Recipient HO-1 Deficiency Decreases Post-Transplant Graft HO-1 Expression and Exacerbates Liver Transplant Damage

    S. Kageyama,1 K. Nakamura,1 T. Ito,1 A. Aziz,1 B. Ke,1 R. Sossa,2 E. Reed,2 F. Kaldas,1 R. Busuttil,1 J. Kupiec-Weglinski.1

    1Surgery, Liver Transplantation, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; 2Pathology, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA.

    Many preclinical studies on protective functions of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1; hsp32) in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) have encouraged application of HO-1 inducing regimens in clinical…

    Inhibition of Neutrophil Recruitment and Activation Protects Airway Epithelium after Transplantation

    R. Zhang,1 H. Fang,1 Q. Chen,2 J. Ochando,3 Y. Ding,1 J. Xu.1

    1Department of Immunology, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China; 2Department of Thoracic Surgery, Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing, China; 3Department of Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY.

    Background: Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is the major obstacle limiting long-term allograft survival of lung transplantation. Airway epithelium is the primary target in obliterative airway diseases.…
