Pretransplant BKV-IgG Serostatus and BKV-Specific ELISPOT Assays for the Prediction of BKV Infection
*Purpose: BK Polyomavirus (BK) can lead to major infectious complications and damage to the graft in kidney transplantation (KT). We investigated whether pretransplant BK serostatus…2020 American Transplant Congress
Neuropilin 2 is a Novel Coinhibitory Molecule That Suppresses Alloimmune Responses Following Transplantation
Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: We have previously reported that signaling via the transmembrane receptor neuropilin 2 (NRP2) regulates PI3K/mTOR/Akt activity in several human cell lines. Furthermore, it is…2020 American Transplant Congress
Th17 Cell Inhibition in a Costimulation Blockade Based Regimen for Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation Using A Non-Human Primate Model
*Purpose: Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is challenged by the morbidity of non-specific immunosuppression required to prevent rejection. The use of highly specific biologics has not…2020 American Transplant Congress
Modulating ITK Signaling Facilitate Allogeneic Skin Engraftment and Clear LCMV Viruses by Regulating IRF-4, JAK STAT and Eomes Expression
*Purpose:Solid organ transplantation is a life-saving procedure to treat end-stage organ failure. However, transplantation of organs between genetically distinct individuals results in acute graft rejection…2019 American Transplant Congress
Interruption of Notch Signaling via Blockade of Delta-Like Ligands 1 and 4 Prevents Co-Stimulation Blockade Resistant Allograft Rejection
Surgery and Transplantation, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: Co-stimulation blockade (CoB) has emerged as a promising immunosuppression strategy with the advent of belatacept, a novel CTLA4-Ig fusion protein that blocks CD28-mediated T…2019 American Transplant Congress
Extracorporeal Photopheresis for Specific Immune Tolerance Responses in Heart Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) treatment following heart transplantation (HTx) may induce transplant tolerance. A monitoring tool for successful ECP treatment would allow determination of patient-specific…2019 American Transplant Congress
Utilizing Changing Patterns of T-cell Metabolism in Aging for Effective Immunosuppression
Transplant Surgery Research Lab, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Metabolic reprogramming has been identified as a critical regulator of immunity. Little is known on changes of T-cell metabolism in aging and how to…2019 American Transplant Congress
Resistance of T Follicular Helper Cells to Depletion by Anti-Thymocyte Globulin
*Purpose: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a subset of CD4+ T cells that specializes in providing help for germinal center (GC) reactions where B…2019 American Transplant Congress
Implication of Melanocortin Receptors in Alloimmunity
Transplantation Research Center, Renal, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: Recent studies have indicated the importance of the melanocortin pathway in the regulation of immune responses. In particular, the role that melanocortin receptors (MCRs)…2019 American Transplant Congress
A Regulatory T Cell-Intrinsic Role for Ikaros in Acquired Transplant Tolerance
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA
*Purpose: Ikaros is a transcriptional repressor encoded by the Ikzf1 gene that was recently identified as the pharmacologic target of thalidomide analogs in successful therapy…
