The Renin Angiotensin System (RAS) After Pig-to-Baboon Kidney Transplantation
*Purpose: Relatively long-term survival after life-supporting pig-to-baboon kidney transplantation has been achieved. However, there are documented episodes of hypovolemia during the post-transplant period from an…2022 American Transplant Congress
Rhesus-Primatized Mouse Model Generated Using Transgenic Immunodeficient Mice
1Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, 2University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: To develop a translational primatized mouse model, akin to humanized mice, that allows for high-throughput in vivo experimentation to augment non-human primate pre-clinical studies.*Methods:…2022 American Transplant Congress
Belatacept Augments Mixed Chimerism in a Novel Nonhuman Primate Kidney Transplant Tolerance Induction Protocol
University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: A novel protocol of antilymphocyte globulin (ATG), tomotherapy-based total lymphoid irradiation (TomoTLI), and adoptive cellular transfer was developed in a preclinical model of MHC-mismatched…2022 American Transplant Congress
PD-1 Expression on CD8+ T Cells Contributes to the Establishment of Mixed Chimerism-Based Operational Tolerance
Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: PD-1 is a T cell co-inhibitory molecule involved in T cell exhaustion and antigen specific hypo-reactivity. Given the role of PD-1 signaling in the…2022 American Transplant Congress
Successful Use of Anti-IL-6R Therapy to Achieve Cardiac Allograft Tolerance in Non-Human Primates
Center for Transplantation Sciences, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: In contrast to kidney allografts, attempts to achieve tolerance of isolated cardiac allografts in non-human primates (NHPs) using a mixed chimerism strategy have been…2022 American Transplant Congress
Triple-Knockout Pig Red Blood Cells as Potential Sources for Blood Transfusion in Alloimmunized Patients with Sickle Cell Disease
*Purpose: Blood transfusion remains important in the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, alloimmunization after multiple blood transfusions is associated with patient…2022 American Transplant Congress
A Model of Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome in Rhesus Macaques
*Purpose: To create a model of idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS), a deadly complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Rhesus macaques (RM).*Methods: RM were…2021 American Transplant Congress
Interruption of Notch Signaling via Blockade of Delta-Like Ligand 4 Prevents Co-Stimulation Blockade Resistant Allograft Rejection
Emory University Department of Surgery, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Co-stimulation blockade (CoB) has emerged as a promising immunosuppression strategy with the advent of Belatacept, a novel CTLA4-Ig fusion protein that blocks CD28-mediated T…2021 American Transplant Congress
First Full Reversal of Diabetes in Non-human Primates (nhp) with Stem Cell Derived Islet-like-clusters (sc-ilcs)
*Purpose: Deceased donor allo-islet transplants (Tx) have demonstrated the ability of cell-based therapy to fully reverse T1D, however, an inadequate donor supply and frequent need…2021 American Transplant Congress
P2X7 Receptor Activity Mediates Th17-Specific Self- and Alloreactivity in Non-Human Primates
Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI
*Purpose: The broadly expressed ATP-binding purinergic receptor, P2X7 (P2X7R) is involved in the Th17 mediated cellular immune response to allo- and select self-antigens (Collagen type…
