Donor-derived cell-free DNA predicted allograft rejection and severe microvascular inflammation in kidney transplant recipients

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionThe aim of this study is to investigate the clinical validity of donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) in comparison with that of donor specific anti-HLA antibody (DSA) for predicting biopsy-proven rejection (BPR)and severe microvascular ...

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

Donor-derived TB after kidney transplantation: a case report

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2021
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a possible serious complication of solid organ transplantation, associated with high mortality and morbidity. Post-transplant TB has varied pathogenesis with many approaches to its prevention, which is the most ...

Family based HLA imputation and optimization of haplo-identical transplants [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Recently, haplo-identical transplantation with multiple HLA mismatches has become a viable option for system cell transplants. Haplotype sharing detection requires imputation of donor and recipient. We show that even in high-resolution typing when all alleles are known, there is a 15% error rate in haplotype phasing, and even more in low resolution ...

In Silico Derivation of HLA-Specific Alloreactivity Potential from Whole Exome Sequencing of Stem Cell Transplant Donors and Recipients: Understanding the Quantitative Immuno-biology of Allogeneic Transplantation [PDF]

, 2014
Donor T cell mediated graft vs. host effects may result from the aggregate alloreactivity to minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA) presented by the HLA in each donor-recipient pair (DRP) undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT).

Comparison of kinship‐identification methods for robust stock assessment using close‐kin mark–recapture data for Pacific bluefin tuna

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
In this study, we compared three methods for kinship identification using different algorithms in samples of wild Pacific bluefin tuna and generated genotyping data. The three methods resulted in different numbers of inferred kinship pairs for both generated and actual data. Particularly for the half‐sibling pairs, considerable number of false‐positive

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the
