Pearls and Pitfalls in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation After 5 Decades

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Worldwide, over 1,300 pediatric kidney transplantations are performed every year. Since the first transplantation in 1959, healthcare has evolved dramatically. Pre-emptive transplantations with grafts from living donors have become more common. Despite a

KIR2DL2/2DL3-E(35) alleles are functionally stronger than -Q(35) alleles. [PDF]

, 2016
KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 segregate as alleles of a single locus in the centromeric motif of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene family. Although KIR2DL2/L3 polymorphism is known to be associated with many human diseases and is an important

HLA antibodies and donor selection [PDF]

, 2010
In spite of Anti-HLA antibodies being associated to rejection in solid organs transplantation, this correlation has not been well established yet in allogenic bone marrow transplantation.Recent studies in the literature have demonstrated that engraftment

Donor heart selection: the outcome of "unacceptable" donors [PDF]

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007
The decline in the number of suitable donor hearts has led to an increasing interest in the use of previously unacceptable donors. In the United Kingdom, if one centre declines a donor heart on medical grounds it may be offered to other centres. This multi-centre study aimed to evaluate the outcome of recipients of donor hearts considered medically ...

Haplotype Motif-Based Models for KIR-Genotype Informed Selection of Hematopoietic Cell Donors Fail to Predict Outcome of Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes or Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Results from registry studies suggest that harnessing Natural Killer (NK) cell reactivity mediated through Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) could reduce the risk of relapse after allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT). Several

Donor selection for allogenic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation: clinical and ethical considerations [PDF]

, 2017
Allogenic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an established treatment for many diseases. Stem cells may be obtained from different sources: mobilized peripheral blood stem cells, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood.
