Journal ArticleDOI
Non-complement- and complement-activating antibodies synergize to cause rejection of cardiac allografts.
Salma Rahimi,Zhiping Qian,Jodi Layton,Karen Fox-Talbot,William M. Baldwin,Barbara A. Wasowska +5 more
TL;DR: Non‐complement‐activating AlloAbs stimulate endothelial cells to produce chemokines and this effect is augmented in the milieu of proinflammatory cytokines, indicating that non-complement •activating •AlloAbs can augment injury to allografts by complement‐activated Allo Abs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane attack complex contributes to destruction of vascular integrity in acute lung allograft rejection
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MAC causes vascular injury in lung allografts and that the location of injury is dependent on the source of C6, which is demonstrated at the mRNA and protein levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antithymocyte globulin is associated with complement deposition in cardiac transplant biopsies.
William M. Baldwin,L.P. Armstrong,Milagros Samaniego-Picota,Salma Rahimi,Andrea A. Zachary,Edward K. Kasper,John V. Conte,Ralph H. Hruban,E. Rene Rodriguez +8 more
TL;DR: Prophylactic treatment with ATGAM is associated with the deposition of horse IgG and activation of complement in the transplant, and most patients treated with AtGAM had no histologic evidence of rejection, but did have myocyte damage and macrophage infiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of MHC class II incompatibility on localization of mononuclear cell infiltrates to the bronchiolar compartment of orthotopic lung allografts.
Shinji Nakashima,Shinji Nakashima,T. Rinda Soong,Karen Fox-Talbot,Zhiping Qian,Salma Rahimi,Barbara A. Wasowska,Charles A. Rohde,Sabrina Chen,Sabrina Chen,Joe G.N. Garcia,William M. Baldwin +11 more
TL;DR: MHC class II incompatible orthotopic lung transplants in rats maintained on CsA immunosuppression undergo a bronchiolcentric upregulation of alloantigens.
