Improved Graft Function following Desensitization of Anti-AT1R and Autoantibodies in a Heart Transplant Recipient Negative for Donor-Specific Antibodies with Antibody-Mediated Rejection: A Case Report Open
HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) pre and post transplant increase the risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and lead to poor graft survival. Increasing data exist to support the involvement of non-HLA antibodies in triggering an im…

Chimerism Testing by Next Generation Sequencing for Detection of Engraftment and Early Disease Relapse in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and an Overview of NGS Chimerism Studies Open
Chimerism monitoring after allogenic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (allo-HCT) is critical to determine how well donor cells have engrafted and to detect relapse for early therapeutic intervention. The aim of this study was to establis…

Human leukocyte antigen mismatch on lung transplantation outcomes Open
OBJECTIVES Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch is a known risk factor for renal transplantation; however, there are conflicting and limited data on its ramifications within lung transplantation (LTx). Therefore, our study evaluated the …

Perioperative Care for Lung Transplant Recipients: A Multidisciplinary Approach Open
Lung transplantation has evolved as the gold standard for selective patients with end-stage lung disease since the first clinical lung transplant was performed in 1983 in the United States. Over the last few decades, lung transplantation v…

Assessing the utilization of high-resolution 2-field HLA typing in solid organ transplantation Open
HLA typing in solid organ transplantation (SOT) is necessary for determining HLA-matching status between donor-recipient pairs and assessing patients' anti-HLA antibody profiles. Histocompatibility has traditionally been evaluated based on…

The Consensus from the Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) Conference 2017 Open
On March 24 and 25, 2017 researchers and clinicians from around the world met at Temple University in Philadelphia to discuss the current knowledge of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and its relationship to hu…
