P2X7R Signaling Controls Exosome Release by Macrophages and Donor MHC Cross-Dressing After Skin Transplantation
H. H. Lancia¹, N. Carnel², A. G. Lellouch¹, C. Cetrulo¹, G. Benichou²
¹Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, ²Center for Transplantation Sciences, Department of Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Exosomes released by transplanted organs play an important role in the host's immune response leading to their rejection. Donor exosomes contribute to alloimmunity by…

TIGIT Agonism Ameliorates Costimulation Blockade-Resistant Rejection by Increasing Quantity and Quality of Graft-Infiltrating Foxp3⁺ Treg
C. R. Hartigan, D. Liu, S. Laurie, M. L. Ford
Emory University Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Belatacept-based immunosuppression confers fewer off-target toxicities compared to CNI but comes at a cost of increased incidence and severity of acute rejection, potentially due…

Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Induced Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Promote Transplant Immune Tolerance
F. Zhang
Department of Urology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, Beijing, China
*Purpose: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a group of heterogeneous cells derived from bone marrow with immunosuppressive effect, which contribute to the establishment of transplant…
