Anti-Angiotensin Type 1 Receptor Antibodies Associate with Rejection in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplant and Pancreas Transplant Alone Recipients.
Comprehensive Transplant Center, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
Background: Anti-angiotensin type 1 receptor antibodies (AT1R Ab) have been found to have a strong association with antibody mediated rejection (Reinsmoen et al, Transpl 2010;…2017 American Transplant Congress
Safety and Activity of Anti-C1s Humanized Monoclonal Antibody TNT009 in Late Antibody-Mediated Kidney Allograft Rejection – Results of a First-in-Human Phase 1 Trial.
Study purpose:The classical pathway (CP) of complement may significantly contribute to antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Blockade of CP key component C1 may be a promising strategy…2017 American Transplant Congress
Maintenance of the Phenotype and Abundance of Islet-Resident Macrophages Promotes Islet Graft Survival and Appears to Prevent Type 1 Diabetes.
