Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Alloimmunity in Chronic Lung Transplant Rejection
*Purpose: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) remains a major cause of death after lung transplantation. Unfortunately, we lack effective treatments for BOS as the mechanisms by…2021 American Transplant Congress
Naïve Rhesus Monkey CD4+CD8loT Cells Comprise High Percentage of Memory T Cells with Strong Effector Function
Department of Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, PITTSBURGH, PA
*Purpose: Human CD4+CD8loT cells have been reported in patients with organ allograft rejection. We evaluated the incidence, phenotype, and function of CD4+CD8loT cells in nonhuman…2021 American Transplant Congress
K562 Cells Expressing HLA-A2 Stimulate Alloreactive CD8+ T Cells
Emory Transplant Center, Emory University, Atlanta, GA
*Purpose: T cell-mediated rejection is a significant factor that leads to graft damage and loss in transplant recipients. Due to the complexity of the TCR:pMHC…2021 American Transplant Congress
The Assesment of Pre-transplant Donor-reactive IL-21 Producing T Cells as a Tool to Identify Patients at Risk for Acute Rejection
*Purpose: The measurement of panel-reactive antibodies (PRA) has proven valuable in the transplant setting but it does not account for the presence of donor-reactive memory…2021 American Transplant Congress
Hla-dq Epitope Mismatch Predicts De Novo Donor-Specific Antibody Formation and Acute Cellular Rejection After Living Donor Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Epitope mismatch (MM) effect on living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has not been studied in detail. This study aimed to investigate the role of…2021 American Transplant Congress
Environmental Factors That Shape T-cell Alloimmunity: Role of the Microbiome
*Purpose: Unlike other types of immunity, T-cell alloimmune responses to mismatched MHC proteins do not need priming by a previous exposure. While genetic differences between…2021 American Transplant Congress
Suppression of T Cell Proliferation by Activated Nonhuman Primate B Cells
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA
*Purpose: We previously generated Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated B cells in rodent settings. These B cells can suppress T cell proliferation via in vitro mixed lymphocytes…2020 American Transplant Congress
Autophagy-Lysosome Inhibitor Chloroquine Prevents CTLA-4 Degradation of T Cells and Attenuates Acute Rejection in Murine Skin and Heart Transplantation
*Purpose: The immune checkpoint cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), which was induced upon T cell activation but degraded quickly, has been targeted in the clinical…2020 American Transplant Congress
Prospective Donor-Specific CellUlar Alloresponse Assessment for Immunosuppression MinImization in De Novo Renal Transplantation: Results of a Randomized Controlled Biomarker-Guided Trial
*Purpose: Early immunosuppression minimization is associated with higher rates of BPAR. Preformed donor-specific T-cell alloreactivity (DST) assessed with an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay has shown to…2020 American Transplant Congress
Successful Tacrolimus Withdrawal in Kidney Transplant Recipients Unleashes a Peripheral Blood Transcriptional and Functional Signature Resembling Exhaustion
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY
*Purpose: Tacrolimus (Tac) is an effective anti-rejection drug in kidney transplant recipients (KTR), but its off-target effects make withdrawal desirable. Studies indicate that Tac can…
