Specific Monocyte Memory to Allogeneic MHC Mediated by Paired Immunoglobulin Receptors (PIR)
Monocytes distinguish between self and allogeneic non-self and contribute to allograft rejection by generating mature, IL-12+, DCs. The initial trigger of monocyte differentiation to DCs…2016 American Transplant Congress
IgM Treatment Successfully Prevents Type 1 Diabetes by Dysregulation of Pancreatic MicroRNAs with Immunomodulatory Roles.
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is hallmarked by beta-cells destruction. We aimed to identify specific pancreatic microRNAs (miRNA) as potential biomarkers for T1D prediction and diagnosis,…2016 American Transplant Congress
B Lymphocytes Prevent Transplantation Tolerance in NOD Mice by Limiting CD4 Treg Function.
Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN.
IntroductionType 1 Diabetes is a significant barrier to islet transplant as grafts are subject to both alloimmunity and recurrent autoimmunity. No better is this clinical…2015 American Transplant Congress
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
Altered Intestinal Microbiome as a Potential Biomarker for Failed Immune-Regulation in Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Purpose: Beta-cell destruction results due to a failure of immune-regulation in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We investigated alterations in the intestinal microbiome composition as a…
