Our recent studies have documented the presence of high numbers of recipient antigen presenting cells (APCs) displaying donor MHC molecules (cross-dressed) on their surface after…2016 American Transplant Congress
Limiting Helper Functions of CD4 T Cells Improves Efficacy of Induction Therapy without Compromising Responses to Third Party Antigens.
Antibody mediated lymphocyte depletion is commonly used in clinical transplantation. However, memory T cells undermine the efficacy of lymphoablative induction therapies in sensitized transplant recipients.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Frequency and Utility of Donor-Specific Antibody Testing in Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplant.
Introduction: The risk of antibody mediated rejection (AMR) in simultaneous liver kidney (SLK) recipients is thought to be lower than in kidney alone patients due…2016 American Transplant Congress
