Immunity and Tolerance after Bilateral Orthotopic Lung Transplant (BOLT) in Tandem with a CD3+/CD19+ Depleted Vertebral Bone Marrow Transplant (BOLT+BMT) from 1 of 8 HLA-Matched Cadaveric Donors
Primary immunodeficiency patients may develop pulmonary complications and most are ineligible for either lung transplant or BMT due to futility. We report our first 2…2018 American Transplant Congress
LAG-3 Deletion Upregulates Memory in a Dendritic Cell-Dependent Process
Introduction. Cardiac transplantation is critical for management of severe heart failure, but cardiac allografts frequently undergo chronic T-cell-mediated allograft rejection. Our research demonstrates that Lymphocyte…2018 American Transplant Congress
Tipping the “Immune Balance” towards Tolerance by Specific and Systematic Depletion of Donor and Host Effector Cells
Purpose: To induce robust transplant tolerance in neonates with fully allogeneic spleen and bone marrow cells (SC/BMC) it is crucial to define the complex interplay…2018 American Transplant Congress
Human Endothelial-Like Cells Transdifferentiated from Peripheral CD14+ Monocytes Inhibit T Cells in Response to Allo-Stimulation
Gastroenterological and Transplant Surgery, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan.
We have previously demonstrated that the endothelial cells located in immune-privilege sites, such as livers, suppress T-cells in response to both of direct and indirect…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
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…2017 American Transplant Congress
Relationship Between Mixed Chimerism and Tolerance in HLA-Matched and -Mismatched Recipients of Kidney and Hematopoietic Cell Transplants.
Twenty-eight fully HLA-matched and 18 HLA haplotype- matched recipients were given combined kidney and hematopoietic cell transplants using a completely post-transplant conditioning regimen consisting of…
