Immunosuppressive Drugs for Kidney Transplantation

TL;DR: This review considers the use of immunosuppressive drugs in organ transplantation, focusing on renal transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibody-mediated organ-allograft rejection

TL;DR: Antibody induces rejection acutely through the fixation of complement, resulting in tissue injury and coagulation, and complement activation recruits macrophages and neutrophils, causing additional endothelial injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunocompetent T-cells with a memory-like phenotype are the dominant cell type following antibody-mediated T-cell depletion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the characteristics of post-depletional T cells with alemtuzumab or rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin following renal transplantation, evaluating the phenotype and functional characteristics of their residual cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homeostatic proliferation is a barrier to transplantation tolerance

TL;DR: It is shown that residual nondepleted T cells undergo substantial homeostatic expansion in clinically relevant mouse models of peripheral T-cell depletion, demonstrating the barrier thatHomeostatic proliferation can present to the induction of transplantation tolerance, and have important implications for transplantation protocols that use partial or complete peripheral T -cell depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transplantation 50 Years Later — Progress, Challenges, and Promises

TL;DR: A half-century has elapsed since the first transplantation, and this procedure is now accepted as the treatment of choice for end-stage organ failure, and several challenges remain if transplantation is to be widely available with minimal risks and optimal outcomes.

Complement activation in acute humoral renal allograft rejection: diagnostic significance of C4d deposits in peritubular capillaries.

TL;DR: C4d in peritubular capillary walls distinguishes AHR from ACR, is more specific and sensitive than traditional criteria, and is a potentially valuable adjunct in the diagnosis of graft dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute Humoral Rejection in Kidney Transplantation: II. Morphology, Immunopathology, and Pathologic Classification

TL;DR: The incidence of acute humoral rejection in renal allograft biopsies has been difficult to determine because widely accepted diagnostic criteria have not been established and non-HLA antibodies or subthreshold levels of DSA were detected in posttransplant recipient sera.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined histocompatibility leukocyte antigen-matched donor bone marrow and renal transplantation for multiple myeloma with end stage renal disease: the induction of allograft tolerance through mixed lymphohematopoietic chimerism.

TL;DR: This is the first report of the deliberate induction of mixed lymphohematopoietic chimerism after a nonmyeloablative preparative regimen to treat a hematological malignancy and to provide allotolerance for a solid organ transplant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute humoral rejection in renal allograft recipients: I. Incidence, serology and clinical characteristics.

TL;DR: Most cases with DSA at the time of rejection had widespread C4d deposits in peritubular capillaries, suggesting a pathogenic role of the circulating alloantibody.
