National conference to assess antibody-mediated rejection in solid organ transplantation.
The process of humoral rejection is multifaceted and has different manifestations in the various types of organ transplants. Because this process is emerging as a leading cause of graft loss, a conference was held in April 2003 to comprehensively address issues regarding humoral rejection. Though humoral rejection may result from different factors, discussion focused on a paradigm caused by ant...
متن کاملThe Microbiome, Systemic Immune Function, and Allotransplantation.
Diverse effects of the microbiome on solid organ transplantation are beginning to be recognized. In allograft recipients, microbial networks are disrupted by immunosuppression, nosocomial and community-based infectious exposures, antimicrobial therapies, surgery, and immune processes. Shifting microbial patterns, including acute infectious exposures, have dynamic and reciprocal interactions wit...
متن کاملNon-HLA antibodies in solid organ transplantation: recent concepts and clinical relevance.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Humoral responses beyond major histocompatibility antigens continue to receive the attention of the transplantation community. We report on clinical studies testing clinical relevance of non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antigens in solid organ transplantation and provide an update on novel experimental findings. A conceptual framework on the role of graft microenvironment dur...
متن کاملCombating Illegal Organ Transplantation Under International Human Rights Law
Despite the fact that the concepts of organ transplantation and organ trafficking seem two completely distinct categories at first glance, sometimes they overlap with each other. This is especially in cases in which organ transplantation occurs from one country to another and for a financial exchange. There are two general indicators for determining the distinction between organ transplantation...
متن کاملStructural and electrostatic analysis of HLA B-cell epitopes: inference on immunogenicity and prediction of humoral alloresponses.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The immunogenic capacity of donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) to induce humoral immune responses is not an intrinsic property of the mismatched alloantigen but depends on the HLA phenotype of the recipient. In recent years, advances in molecular sequence technology and information from X-ray crystallography have enabled structural comparison of donor and recipient HLA type p...
