Immunology of skin transplantation
Untreated viable allogeneic skin is highly immunogenic. Epidermal Langerhans migrate after transplantation out of the donor skin into the lymph node of the recipient where they can activate T cells capable to mediate rejection. Allogeneic skin is used as a temporary coverage of burn wounds, often in combination with autologous skin grafts.

The aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is an intracellular sensor of aromatic hydrocarbons that sits at the top of various immunomodulatory pathways. Here, we present evidence that AHR plays a role in controlling IL-17 responses and the development of ...

On the crossroad between tolerance and posttransplant lymphoma. [PDF]
The role of the Epstein-Barr virus in the development of post-transplant lymphomas is well established. However, not all lymphomas that arise in these patients contain Epstein-Barr virus, suggesting that other cofactors are involved in tumor pathogenesis.

Myeloid cells are increasingly recognized as major players in transplant rejection. Here, we used a murine kidney transplantation model and single cell transcriptomics to dissect the contribution of myeloid cell subsets and their potential signaling ...

Imaging alloreactive T cells provides early warning of organ transplant rejection
Diagnosis of organ transplant rejection relies upon biopsy approaches to confirm alloreactive T cell infiltration in the graft. Immune molecular monitoring is under investigation to screen for rejection, though these techniques have suffered from low ...

Hilliard Seigler, M.D. and the origins of kidney transplantation and immunology at Duke
The contributions of Dr. Hilliard Seigler to the founding of the Duke kidney transplantation program were considerable in both surgery and immunology. Some of these highlights are summarized based upon interviews with Dr. Seigler by the authors.

A predictive model for kidney transplant graft survival using machine learning [PDF]
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure patients. The predominant method used for kidney quality assessment is the Cox regression-based, kidney donor risk index. A machine learning method may provide improved prediction of transplant outcomes and help decision-making. A popular tree-based machine learning method, random

The chemerin/CMKLR1 axis regulates intestinal graft-versus-host disease
Gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT).
