CD14⁺ Monocytes Play a Critical Role in Initiating Xeno-Recognition, Costimulation and Immune-Responses to Porcine Endothelial Cells
H. Xu, A. Kirk, H. Xu
Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Porcine endothelial cells (PECs) are the first barrier between a pig’s organ and circulating immune system. Unlike allogeneic immune responses, PECs fail to induce…

Belatacept and Rapamycin Maintenance Immunosuppression in a Sensitized Nonhuman Primate Kidney Allotransplantation Model
R. Schmitz¹, Z. W. Fitch¹, M. Manook¹, J. Yoon¹, A. B. Farris², J. Kwun¹, S. J. Knechtle¹
¹Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, ²Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Desensitization with costimulation blockade and proteasome inhibition prior to kidney transplantation prevents early antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and prolongs graft survival in highly sensitized nonhuman…

MTOR-Inhibitor Regimens and Malignancy after Kidney Transplantation: Can the Risk Be Modified by Considering Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Mismatch in Immunosuppression Selection?
A. Santos¹, C. Chen¹, K. Alquadan², M. A. Leghrouz², X. Wen³
¹University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, ²Division of Nephrology, Hypertension, & Renal Transplantation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, ³Department of Pharmacy Practice, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI
*Purpose: We investigated the outcomes of mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor (MTORI) regimens in adult kidney transplant (KT) recipients (KTRs) in categories of donor/recipient pre-transplant…

The Effect of Undernutrition and Immunosuppression on Cytomegalovirus Specific T Cell Responses
E. David¹, M. Zhu², W. Parker², N. MacIver¹, A. D. Kirk², E. T. Chambers¹
¹Pediatrics, Duke University, Durham, NC, ²Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains a significant issue in transplantation, especially in those who are undernourished. While undernutrition is associated with impaired T cell immunity…
