MHC Class II Sharing Appears to Promote Intestinal Allograft Tolerance Through Linked Suppression in a Large Animal Model
The relative importance of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II matching for the induction of transplantation tolerance remains unclear. We studied selective mismatches in a clinically relevant model of intestinal transplantation (ITx) in swine with defined MHC genotypes.
Management of Kidney Disease in Heart Transplant Patients: A National Delphi Survey-based Consensus Expert Paper
Kidney disease is a common complication in heart transplant recipients and requires a comprehensive and personalized approach. The interplay between preexisting kidney disease, perioperative factors, immunosuppression, and cardiovascular complications makes the management of kidney dysfunction challenging in these patients. The objective of this expert consensus was to look for agreements for the management of chronic kidney disease in heart transplant recipients.

Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Solid Organ Transplantation: Modulating B-cell Responses to Improve Graft Survival
Solid organ transplantation remains the only curative treatment for end-stage organ diseases. A critical aspect of enhancing long-term graft survival is to prevent antibody-mediated rejection caused by donor-specific antibodies (DSAs). DSAs are formed when donor alloantigen-specific B cells differentiate into antibody-secreting cells. In this review, we explore what is known about the relationship between treatment with extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) and its effects on undesired B-cell activation and DSA formation.
