Effect of Chronic Kidney Disease on Allo-Immune Response in Mice
*Purpose: Accumulation of memory T cells bearing markers of sustained antigen stimulation have been described in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, mouse models…2019 American Transplant Congress
Systematic Testing and Specificity Mapping of Alloantigen-Specific Chimeric Antigen Receptors in T Regulatory Cells
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
*Purpose: Achieving transplant tolerance with regulatory T cell (Treg) adoptive immunotherapy is currently under investigation as a therapy to reduce graft rejection and improve long-term…2019 American Transplant Congress
Prolonged Cold Ischemic Storage Induces Allograft Necro-Inflammation That Increases Graft Susceptibility to T Cell Mediated Rejection
1Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 2Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: Prolonged cold ischemic storage (CIS) of murine cardiac allografts causes complement dependent, CTLA4Ig-resistant rejection that is associated with 48h post-transplant elevations in serum levels…2019 American Transplant Congress
Advanced Immunological T-cell Ageing Defined by a Very Low Thymic Function Identifies Patients with a Substantial Increased Risk for Long-Term Mortality after Kidney Transplantation
Nephrology & Transplantation, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands
*Purpose: End-stage renal disease is associated with premature ageing of the T-cell immune system. At the time of kidney transplantation the average biological age of…2019 American Transplant Congress
Depletional Induction Therapy in Non-Human Primates – Preclinical Modeling of Polyclonal Depletion with Rhesus-Specific ATG
*Purpose: Antithymocyte globulins (ATG) have been used in transplantation since the late 1960s to prevent and treat acute allograft rejection. Over the past decade, induction…2019 American Transplant Congress
Lymphotoxin Beta Receptor Determines Lymph Node Structure for Treg Migration and Suppression of Graft Rejection
*Purpose: Lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTβR) mediated signaling in lymphatic endothelium cells (LEC) is important for migration of regulatory T cells (Treg) to afferent lymphatic vessels…2019 American Transplant Congress
First Report and Mechanistic Analysis of Chronic GVHD after Solid Organ Transplantation
Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC
*Purpose: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) occurs late after bone marrow transplantation and is associated with a characteristic lichenoid rash (cutaneous sclerosis) and effects on multiple…2019 American Transplant Congress
B Cell IL-4 Signaling Induces the IL-10 Secreting TIM-1+ Bregs and Suppresses T Cell Inflammatory Cytokines
Surgery, Starzl Transplantation Institute, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: TIM-1+ identifies the majority (~75%) of IL-10+ B regulatory cells (Bregs). However, TIM-1+ B cells are also enriched for IL-4+ B effector 2 cells…2019 American Transplant Congress
Promoting Mitochondrial Fusion Alters the Interaction between Endothelial Cells and T Cells in Models of Transplantation
Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC
*Purpose: As semi-professional antigen-presenting cells, microvascular endothelial cells (mECs) play a central role in mediating allograft rejection. Cold storage and ischemia reperfusion injury increases mEC…2019 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Phenotypes in Early Subclinical Inflammation (SCI) Determined by Presence of Interstitial Inflammation with or without Concomitant Tubulitis
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA
*Purpose: Low levels of renal allograft inflammation in the early post transplant period appear to have an impact on renal architecture and function. However, the…
