Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells Are Induced after Transplantation and Home to the Transplanted Kidney
Surgery and Immunology, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD.
BACKGROUND: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a naturally occurring, heterogeneous population of highly immunosuppressive cells which expand in response to inflammatory conditions such as cancer.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Organ-Specific Differences in a Thymoglobulin and Belatacept-Based Protocol for Tolerance Induction in Non-Human Primates
Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
In non-human primate lung transplantation, allograft acceptance has been achieved using a delayed mixed-chimerism approach consisting of 4 months of triple-drug immunosuppression followed by donor…2018 American Transplant Congress
Ex-Vivo Pretreatment of Islets with Mitomycin-C Have a Potential to Induce Specific Immune Response for Peripheral Tolerance
Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic and Transplant Sugery, Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima, Japan.
Background.Our previous study demonstrated that ex-vivo Mitomycin-C(MMC) pretreatment of islets reduced immunogenicity, enhancing graft survival without immunosuppression(IS). However, it is still unclear whether donor specific…2018 American Transplant Congress
Acquired Resistance to Transplantation Tolerance as a Result of Prior Pregnancy Requires B Cells
Introduction: Clinical data suggest allogeneic pregnancy is a sensitizing event; yet, recent data from mouse models indicates it induces fetal-specific regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion…2018 American Transplant Congress
Long Term Histologic Allograft Health is Preserved Despite Rejection during Protocolized Immunosuppression Withdrawal (ISW) in Stable Pediatric Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Long term allograft health after rejection during ISW has not been previously assessed. We compare baseline and 4yr graft histology of 20 rejectors in…2018 American Transplant Congress
High Fibre Diet Induces Donor Specific Kidney Allograft Tolerance in Mice
Aim: To investigate the impact of high fibre (HF) diet or dietary supplementation with the short chain fatty acid sodium acetate (SA) on kidney allograft…2018 American Transplant Congress
α-1 Antitrypsin Facilitate Apoptosis Donor Cells Inducing Donor Specific Protection to Mice Cardiac Allografts
Previous study has shown that intravenous infusion of ethylene carbodiimide fixed donor splenocytes(ECDI-SPs) can induce tolerance of mice cardiac allografts with rapidly apoptosis of ECDI-SPs…2018 American Transplant Congress
Durable Donor Hematopoetic Stem Cell (HSC) Chimerism is Associated with Protection from Native Renal Disease Recurrence in Recipients of Combined HSC/Kidney Transplants
1Northwestern U, Chicago; 2U Louisville, Louisville.
Recurrence of the original cause of ESRD has been observed in trials of tolerance induction for kidney transplantation (KTx) where donor HSC have been used…2018 American Transplant Congress
DAP12 and Its Triggering Co-Receptor TREM2 Play Key Roles in Regulation of Mouse and Human Liver DC Function and Control of Liver Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Background: Liver interstitial dendritic cells (DCs) have been implicated in the control of liver ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) and in the induction of liver transplant tolerance.…2018 American Transplant Congress
Transplantation Tolerance Prevents CMV Reactivation and Preserves Kidney Allograft Function in a D+/R- Transplant Setting
Background: Immune responses to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may precipitate acute/chronic graft rejection in immunocompromised transplant recipients. CMV infection can be primary or its reactivation from…
