Regulatory immune cells in transplantation [PDF]
Immune regulation is fundamental to any immune response to ensure that it is appropriate for the perceived threat to the host. Following cell and organ transplantation, it is essential to control the innate immune response triggered by the injured ...

IL-21–producing effector Tfh cells promote B cell alloimmunity in lymph nodes and kidney allografts
Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells have been implicated in controlling rejection after allogeneic kidney transplantation, but the precise subsets, origins, and functions of Tfh cells in this process have not been fully characterized.

Human HLA-DR+CD27+ regulatory T cells show enhanced antigen-specific suppressive function
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and graft rejection. Antigen specificity and functional stability are considered critical for their therapeutic efficacy.

Combined liver-kidney transplantation and the effect of preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies [PDF]
Thirty-eight sequentially placed liver and kidney allografts were evaluated with respect to patient and graft survival, and the influence of preformed lymphocytotoxic antibodies was analysed.

A single strain of Bacteroides fragilis protects gut integrity and reduces GVHD
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a pathological process caused by an exaggerated donor lymphocyte response to host antigens after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT).

Microchimerism, dendritic cell progenitors and transplantation tolerance [PDF]
The recent discovery of multilineage donor leukocyte microchimerism in allograft recipients up to three decades after organ transplantation implies the migration and survival of donor stem cells within the host.

Chimerism after organ transplantation [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that passenger leukocytes migrate after organ transplantation and produce persistent chimerism, which is essential for sustained survival of the allograft.

Effector Functions of Natural Killer Cell Subsets in the Control of Hematological Malignancies. [PDF]
Treatment of hematological malignant disorders has been improved over the last years, but high relapse rate mainly attributable to the presence of minimal residual disease still persists.
