Costimulation Blockade by Anti CD40 Antibody Prevents Humoral and Cellular Rejection of Heterotopic Pig Cardiac Xenograft.
1CSRP/NHLBI, NIH, Bethesda, MD; 2DVR/ORS, NIH, Bethesda, MD; 3Revivicor Inc., Blacksburg, VA.
BackgroundXenotransplantation (XTx) involves the participation of innate immune system with natural antibody producing B cells, NK cells, macrophages and complement as well as adaptive immune…2016 American Transplant Congress
Inclusion of Human Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor or Thrombomodulin Transgenes Attenuates Critical Consumptive Thrombocytopenia in Cardiac Xenotransplantation.
ObjectiveA major obstacle in the success of cardiac xenotransplantation has been the development of significant consumptive thrombocytopenia, frequently limiting recipient survival. Advances in genetic engineering…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Sequential Gene Modifications on Cardiac Xenograft Survival.
1CSRP, NHLBI/NIH, Bethesda, MD; 2DVR / ORS, NIH, Bethesda, MD; 3Revivicor, Inc, Blacksburg, VA.
Introduction: One of the major advances in xenotransplantation is the ability to modify donor pig genetics. Using rapidly evolving techniques of pig cloning and gene…2016 American Transplant Congress
In Vivo and In Vitro Characterization of 1.5 mm Ba2+-Alginate Macro-Encapsulated Cynomolgus Monkey Islets.
Introduction:Micro-encapsulation of islets for the treatment of Type I diabetes has shown limited efficacy in small-scale clinical trials. The lack of success may be related…2016 American Transplant Congress
Establishment of SCID Pigs Cell Lines to Prevent Immunodeficiency Using RGEN System.
Severe immune disorder is the biggest problem in xenotransplantation. To overcome the the problem, producing severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) pigs which lack T cell…2016 American Transplant Congress
aPC Pretreatment of hEPCR-Expressing PAECs Attenuates Endothelial Cell Damage and Thrombosis.
IntroductionActivated Protein C (aPC), acting primarily through the human endothelial protein C receptor (hEPCR), mediates anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory cytoprotective effects in humans. We hypothesized that…2016 American Transplant Congress
An Improved Flow Cytometry Based Platelet Counting in Xeno Perfusion Models.
Aim: Human or baboon platelet sequestration and activation occurs during pig organ xenograft perfusion; its mechanism remains poorly understood. In the context of a regimen…2016 American Transplant Congress
Porcine Islets Engineered with SA-FasL Protein Induces Robust Tolerance in Mice through CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Treg Cells.
Introduction: We have shown that porcine islets engineered to transiently display SA-FasL protein on their surface establish tolerance in mice following transplantation under the kidney…2016 American Transplant Congress
Human PDL1+ SLA-DR– Swine Vascular Endothelial Cells Suppress Pig-Human PBMC Xeno-MLR(Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction) by Inducing Human Regulatory IL-10+Tr1(Type 1 Regulatory T Cells) Subset for Suppression of Xenogeneic Reactions.
Type 1 regulatory T cells(Tr1) are active in transplantation tolerance. The Tr1 cells are inducible in our lab from human CD4 T cells (hCD4 T)…2016 American Transplant Congress
Multiplex Profiling of Plasma Proteins After Xenogenic Lung Exposure.
Background: Porcine lungs exhibit injury by human blood and are only partially protected in GalTKO organs with additional human membrane cofactor protein (hCD46). Residual injury…
