    D-Dimer Level, in Association with Humoral Responses, Negatively Correlates with Survival of Porcine Islet Grafts in Nonhuman Primates with Immunosuppression.

    H. Kang,1 H. Lee,1 E. Park,1 J. Kim,2 B. Min,2 C.-G. Park.2

    1Laboratory Medicine, Hallym University College of Medicine, Anyang, Korea; 2Xenotransplantation Research Center, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea

    Background: Several immunosuppression (IS) regimens achieve long-term graft survival in nonhuman primates (NHPs) after porcine islet transplantation (PITx), but their success rates vary. To understand…

    Ex-Vivo Mitomycin-C Exposure Reduced Immunogenicity and Prolonged Survival of Islets by Suppressing the Secretion of Multiple Chemotaxis Factors.

    N. Sato,1 T. Anazawa,2 A. Kenjyo,1 T. Kimura,1 R. Okada,1 T. Ishigame,1 Y. Kofunato,1 J. Watanabe,1 M. Muto,1 A. Nishimagi,1 M. Gotoh,1 S. Marubashi.1

    1Department of Surgery, Division of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic and Transplant, Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima, Japan; 2Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Midicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan

    Background. Strategies to reduce immunogenicity of islets, and to prevent activation of pro-inflammatory events are essential to successful islet engraftment. We previously demonstrated that ex-vivo…
