Mothers Are Often Sensitized and Sensitive: Antibody Mediated Rejection in Child to Mother Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Background: Partial graft is especially more vulnerable to deleterious effects of donor specific HLA antibodies (DSA). Living liver donors and recipients are often family members.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Relationship Between Mean Fluorescence Intensity and C1q/C3d-Fixing Capacities of Anti-HLA Antibodies.
The capacity of anti-HLA antibodies (Abs) to activate complement is thought to be an informative property susceptible to facilitate outcome prediction. Two different tests, C1q-…2016 American Transplant Congress
Molecular Profiles of Renal Allograft Rejection.
Internal Medicine/Renal Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Il.
Introduction: The gold standard for the diagnosis of allograft rejection is the Banff Classification, yet it shows substantial variability among pathologists. Using molecular signatures of…2016 American Transplant Congress
ASC-Deficient Dendritic Cells Exhibit Activation Defects and a Reduced Ability to Stimulate Allogeneic T Cells.
Medicine, University of California-San Diego, La Jolla, CA.
Donor dendritic cell (DC) activation causes adaptive immune responses that lead to rejection of transplanted allografts. Accumulating data suggest that inflammasome assembly within interstitial DCs…2016 American Transplant Congress
Higher Pre-Transplant Triglyceride Levels Are Associated with Increased Acute Cellular Rejection Risk Following Kidney Transplant.
1Barnes-Jewish Hosp, St. Louis, MO; 2Washington Univ, St. Louis, MO; 3St. Louis Univ, St. Louis, MO.
Purpose:Hyperlipidemia (HLD) has been associated with more robust immune response, possibly increasing risk for rejection. Recent articles have associated HLD with increased IL-17 production and…2016 American Transplant Congress
Eculizumab for Chronic Antibody-Mediated Injury in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.
Purpose: We hypothesize that de novo donor specific antibody (DSA) in kidney transplant patients cause endothelial cell injury that is dependent on complement and treatment…2016 American Transplant Congress
Treatment for AMR and DSA: A Center Based Review of Pediatric Orthotopic Heart Transplant Recipients.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical course of pediatric orthotopic heart transplant patients diagnosed with antibody mediated rejection (AMR+)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Pattern without Immunoglobulin and Complement Deposition in Renal Allograft Was Related to the Injury of Antibody-Mediated Rejection.
National Clinical Research Center of Kidney Diseases, Nanjing, China.
Background: Differential diagnosis of Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) in renal allograft was difficult because of the confused etiology. Recurrent or de novo MPGN were related to…2016 American Transplant Congress
Plasma Cell Frequency in Renal Rejection After Treatment with Alemtuzumab.
Transplantation, The University of Toledo, Toledo, OH.
Background: The highly successful induction drug Alemtuzumab (Campath) is commonly used prior to renal transplant. Yet, it does not completely ablate plasma cell which, in…2016 American Transplant Congress
Type of Sensitization Does Not Impact Kidney Graft Outcome in Weakly Sensitized Patients.
Introduction: The impact of low level sensitization on kidney transplant (KTx) outcomes is unclear. While limited data suggest that KTx outcomes are comparable between weakly…
