Immunomodulatory Strategies Directed Towards Tolerance of Vascularized Composite Allografts
Background: Achieving tolerance of vascularized composite allografts (VCAs) would improve the risk-to-benefit ratio in patients who undergo this life-enhancing transplant. Kidney co-transplantation along with a…2015 American Transplant Congress
Six Year Follow-Up of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Induce Tolerance in Mismatched Living Donor Renal Transplant Recipients
27 subjects have been transplanted in a phase 2 protocol (IDE 13947) based upon tolerogenic CD8+/TCR- facilitating cells (FCRx) and 200 cGy TBI-based nonmyeloablative conditioning…2015 American Transplant Congress
Vaccine-Induced 'Incognito' CD8+ T Cell Memory Can Disrupt Transplantation Tolerance
Transplant recipients harbor immunity to vaccines and pathogens (e.g. CMV, EBV). Pre-existing immunity can have significant antigen-specific ramifications, usually attributed to heterologous immunity, as pathogen-reactive…2015 American Transplant Congress
Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β Inhibition Promotes Human iTreg Differentiation and Suppressive Function
The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Induced regulatory T cells (iTregs) are essential to maintain immunological tolerance, immune homeostasis, and prevention of autoimmunity. Some studies suggest that glycogen synthase kinase 3β…2015 American Transplant Congress
Costimulation Blockade Prevents Rejection of Vascularized Composite Allografts
[Background] Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) is an emerging new era in transplant medicine and has become a valid therapeutic option after devastating tissue loss. The…
