Importance of B Cell Antigen Specificity in Breg Dependent Tolerance.
Introduction: We have previously shown that anti-CD45RB induced islet and cardiac allograft tolerance is B cell dependent and can be adoptively transferred to naïve hosts…2017 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Low-Dose IL-2 in Clinical Facial Transplantation: Molecular and Immunological Response.
1Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston; 2Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston
BackgroundRegulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in immune tolerance and low-dose recombinant IL-2 administration has been reported to expand Tregs in vivo. Although…2017 American Transplant Congress
Tolerogenic Potential, Migratory Pathways, Engraftment and Long-Term Survival of Human Hematopoietic Chimeric Cells – A Novel Strategy to Induce Tolerance in Transplantation.
Department of Orthopaedics, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL
Background: Cell-based therapies represent a new promising strategy for tolerance induction in transplantation. One of the methods for immune response modulation in solid organ and…2017 American Transplant Congress
Immunoregulatory Roles of CD137 Signaling in Graft-versus-Host Disease.
CD137 functions mainly as a costimulatory molecule for T cell activation. However, its functions have been found in a variety of other immune and nonimmune…2017 American Transplant Congress
Induction of Mixed Chimerism to Prolong Liver Allograft Survival in Cynomolgus Monkeys.
CCTI, Columbia University, New York, NY
Purpose: Spontaneous liver tolerance occurs in highly selected patients with stable liver function. There is an unmet need for a safe and reliable regimen allowing…2017 American Transplant Congress
IgM Immunotherapy Restores Immune Homeostasis in Type 1 Diabetes.
Goal: To determine the mechanism(s) by which IgM immunotherapy restores immune homeostasis in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).Background: IgM immunotherapy prevents the onset and progression of…2017 American Transplant Congress
Transient High Dose Tacrolimus Allows Tolerance of a Vascularized Composite Allograft Tolerance Across a Full MHC Mismatch.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
Purpose: The achievement of tolerance in Vascularized composite allografts (VCA) could avoid the risks of immunosuppression in this setting. We investigated strategies for tolerance induction…2017 American Transplant Congress
Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Regulates Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells by Activating the ERK Signaling in a Murine Cardiac Transplantation Model.
There is a growing evidence that Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) have a crucial role in organ transplantation; however, the detail condition where MDSCs are sufficiently…2017 American Transplant Congress
Depletion of T-Cells from G-CSF Mobilized Human PBMC Prevents Acute GVHD in NSG Mice.
Institute for Cellular Therapeutics, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY
Allogeneic HSC transplantation is commonly utilized for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and autoimmune diseases. However, allogeneic HSC transplantation is limited by potential for the…2017 American Transplant Congress
Successful Induction of Tolerance of Fully Allogeneic Lung Graft with Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) Agonist in MHC-Defined CLAWN Miniature Swine.
Center for Advanced Biomedical Science and Swine Research, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan
Introduction: A2AR agonist is known to potently attenuate lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the long-term effects of A2AR agonist on lung allograft survival remain unclear especially…
