C-C Chemokine Receptor 5 Polymorphisms and Risk of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Renal Transplantation.
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the leading cause of graft failure after kidney transplantation. C-C Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) plays an important role in immune cell…2017 American Transplant Congress
Early Rejection in the Elderly: Is It Predictable?
University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, MD
Introduction: Optimal induction for elderly kidney transplant recipients (KTR) remains unclear. Older age may be associated with decreased immunogenicity; however, clinical heterogeneity of the elderly…2017 American Transplant Congress
Antibody Mediated Rejection and Donor Specific Antibodies in Heart Transplant Patients: Single Center Experience.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Preexisting donor specific antibodies (DSA) cause acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR), which can be avoided during pre-transplant work up. Diagnosis and management…2017 American Transplant Congress
Novel Biomarkers for Segregating Lung Transplant Rejection Phenotypes.
We sought to investigate biomarkers in BAL fluid and tissue for segregating BOS and RAS chronic rejection phenotypes in lung allografts. We had previously identified…2017 American Transplant Congress
Integrated Magnetic-Electrochemical Exosome (iMEX) Technology to Detect Rejection in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Transplantation Research Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston; Exosome Diagnostic Inc, Cambridge
Methods for monitoring clinical rejection including increases in serum creatinine and urinary protein excretion may not reflect subclinical rejection. Similarly repeat biopsy may result in…2017 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplantation Outcomes Using Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction in Patients with Autoimmune Hepatitis.
Transplantation Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA
Background: The use of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction in high immunological risk patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) could lower the rejection rates after liver…2017 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Analysis of Acute Rejection in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Clinical Face Transplant Biopsies.
1Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA; 2Harvard T.H. Chan School of Publich Health, Boston
BackgroundDiagnosis of acute rejection in face transplants relies on the histological evaluation of allograft skin biopsies using BANFF classification, an approach with significant limitations including…2017 American Transplant Congress
Gene Expression Profiling for the Identification and Classification of Antibody-Mediated Heart Rejection.
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is a major determinant of heart allograft loss. However, the specific effects of anti-HLA antibodies on heart allograft injury have not been…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Natural History of Kidney Rejection: How Do Molecular Disease States Change Over Time in Patients with Repeat Indication Biopsies?
University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Molecular phenotypes are highly reproducible, but how do they evolve over time? In an unsupervised microarray analysis, 1208 kidney transplant biopsies were assigned to one…2017 American Transplant Congress
Early and Late Antibody Mediated Rejection and Mixed Acute Rejection Are Clinically Distinct and Demonstrate Biologic Differences in Immunodominant Donor Specific Antibody Characteristics.
1U of Cincinnati, Cincinnati; 2The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati
Early and late antibody mediated rejection (AMR) and mixed acute rejection (MAR) possibly result from fundamentally different immunologic processes. DSA mediates direct injury by complement-dependent…
