Clinical and Molecular Significance of Microvascular Inflammation Negative Transplant Glomerulopathy.
Transplant glomerulopathy (TGP) with donor specific antibodies (DSA) and microvascular inflammation (MVI) is due to chronic antibody mediated rejection (CAMR). We reported previously that intragraft…2017 American Transplant Congress
Risk of Kidney Rejection Following Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation.
Introduction: Simultaneous liver kidney transplant (SLK) recipients may be at risk of antibody-mediated kidney rejection (AMR) if the pre-transplant crossmatch is positive (+CXM). Accordingly, in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Development of an Anti-HLA Antibody-Producing Humanized Mouse Model.
Chronic antibody-mediated rejection due to anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies (Abs) is an important problem in organ transplantation. The spleen has been reported to be…2017 American Transplant Congress
Utility of Concomitant Biopsy in Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant Recipients in the Identification of Rejection of Pancreas and Kidney.
Mayo Clinic Arizona, Phoenix, AZ
Background: In simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant (SPKTx) recipients, animal studies suggest concordant rejection rates of 88% (ref: Gruessner et al,1994). Limited information is available…2017 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus Dose Variability, CYP3A5 Genotype, and Acute Rejection in African American and European American Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Poor immunosuppression with tacrolimus (TAC) after kidney transplantation contributes to the development of toxicity and loss of efficacy. We aimed to associate intra-patient TAC…2017 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Six-Month Surveillance Biopsies and Monitoring in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients.
Purpose: Evaluate the utility of surveillance biopsies and monitoring 6 months post-transplant.Methods: A retrospective single center chart review of pediatric renal transplant recipients from 01/2011–10/2015…2017 American Transplant Congress
Personalizing Immunosuppression with Molecular Phenotyping in Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
Pediatric Abdominal Transplant, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, Pittsburgh
Background: Optimizing immunosuppression requires selecting an agent which can inhibit the dominant anti-rejection mechanism in individual children with liver transplantation (LTx). Extended use of steroids,…2017 American Transplant Congress
Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Biopsy Sampling of the Pancreas Transplant- The Future of Graft Surveillance?
Background:Pancreas transplantation (PTX) can improve morbidity and potentially increase survival in selected patients with brittle diabetes. Development of a successful and safe biopsy monitoring program…2017 American Transplant Congress
Complement Activating Anti-HLA Antibodies: Identification of Specific Histo-Mmolecular Phenotype of Rejection for Complement-Targeting Therapy.
Addressing the heterogeneity of antibody-mediated allograft rejection by identifying phenotypes based on pathophysiology is critical for improving outcomes in transplantation. We investigated whether complement-binding anti-HLA…2017 American Transplant Congress
Maximizing the Potential of Treg-Based Therapies for Transplant Rejection via Computational Immune-Modeling: Effect of Dose, Timing, and Distribution.
Purpose. Regulatory T cells (Treg), endogenous regulators of the immune system, have a significant therapeutic potential for prevention of transplant rejection. Experimental evidences however, indicate…
