Prevention of an Adaptive Immune Response by FDA-Approved Immunosuppressive Agents in Baboons with Pig Artery Patch Xenografts
Background: In the pig-to-baboon artery patch model with no immunosuppressive therapy, a graft from a GTKO pig elicits a significant anti-nonGal IgG response, indicating sensitization…2018 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Preformed Antibody on Survival Following Pig-to-Primate Liver Xenotransplantation
Transplant Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.
Objectives:Xenotransplantation represents the best near-term solution to address the current organ shortage. We have developed a pre-clinical model of pig-to-primate liver xenotransplantation (LXT), and now…2018 American Transplant Congress
Human Thrombomodulin Expression on Genetically Modified Donor Pigs is Required to Maintain the Anti-Coagulation Profile
Introduction: Coagulation dysregulation is major limitation for xenotransplantation but it is resolved to some extent by making genetically engineered (GE) pigs, which express complement inhibitors…2018 American Transplant Congress
hEPCR.hTBM.hCD47.HO-1 Contributes to Increased Survival, Reduced Platelet Sequestration, and Modulation of Coagulation Activation in GalTKO.hCD46 Porcine Livers Perfused with Human Blood
1University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD; 2Revivicor, Inc., Baltimore, MD.
IntroductionPlatelet sequestration and inappropriate coagulation cascade activation are associated with poor outcomes in multiple liver xenotransplant models. Here we evaluate a cassette of additional genetic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Islet Xenotransplantation: A Quest for Clinically Available Immunosuppression Regimens
Department of Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
IntroductionThe field of porcine islet xenotransplantation has made significant progress in non-human primate studies in recent years. However, one major barrier preventing clinical translation of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Genetically Modified Porcine Erythrocytes: A Cell Model for Studying Human Preformed Antibody-Dependent Xenoimmune Responses In Vitro
Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL.
Background: Powerful gene editing technology is a promising approach to provide genetically-modified pigs as donors for clinical cell, tissue and organ xenotransplantation. Prior to starting…2018 American Transplant Congress
Selection and Stratification of Anti-HLA-A and HLA-B Sensitized Patients in Pig-to-Human Xenotransplantation
Introduction: Patients with anti-HLA-A and –B antibodies are difficult to match and represent a possible population for inclusion in pig-to-human xenotransplantation clinical trials. Donor specific…2018 American Transplant Congress
Stress-Related Exosomal MicroRNA Biomarkers Released by Human Islets during Transplantation
1Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, Dallas; 2Baylor Simmons Transplant Institute, Dallas.
Purpose: Pancreatic islets release noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) upon damage and stress during islet transplant procedures. In this study, we sought to identify miRNAs released by…2018 American Transplant Congress
CD4+CD25bright Regulatory T Cells Prevent Acute Xenogeneic GVHD
Institute for Cellular Therapeutics, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication and limitation to the broad application of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Cell therapy has emerged as a promising…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pancreas Decellularization Protocol – Comparison of Methods
Foundation of Research and Science Development, Otwock, Poland.
Background: Whole organ decellularization is gaining a lot of popularity since its development in tissue engineering. It is a process which allows to create complex…
