CD4 and CD8 T Cells: Respectively Reprogrammed and Recapitulated in the Neonate to Induce Transplant Tolerance.
R. Bascom, K. Tao, L. West.
Alberta Transplant Institute, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Purpose: Non-conditioned neonatal mice develop acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) when injected with adult allogeneic spleen and bone marrow cells (allo-SC/BMC). To prevent aGVHD and induce…

High CTLA-4 Expression and Diminished FOXO3 Expression Underlie Differential CD28 Signaling on Human Memory Th17 Cells.
S. Krummey,¹ S. Suchard,¹ S. Nadler,² C. Larsen,² M. Ford.¹
¹Emory Transplant Center, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA; ²Bristol Meyers Squibb, Princeton, NJ
Pathogen primed memory T cells can cross-react with allogeneic antigen and mediate graft rejection, a process termed allogeneic heterologous immunity. Th17 cells are pro-inflammatory CD4+…
