T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) in renal transplantation, although reduced by better immunosuppressants, still impacts graft survival. TCMR responds to methylprednisolone (MPL) in 60% to 70% of cases, with polyclonal anti-T-lymphocyte antibodies (ATGs) used for severe or corticoresistant cases. When ATG is contraindicated, extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) may be an alternative.

Background: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) product characteristics are not well established. The aim of this study was to compare mononuclear cells (MNCs) collection using the new Amicus blue (AB) In-line ECP system to our standard Off-line ECP system using the Optia apheresis device and the MacoGenic G2 inactivation system (OM).
Study Design And Methods: We assessed the ECP products and procedure parameters, patient characteristics, and adverse events for both AB and OM systems in paired patients.

This study investigated whether intravenous administration of tumor cells killed by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) had antitumor effects on distal tumors. Furthermore, a novel extracorporeal blood circulating 5-ALA/PDT system was developed. 5-ALA/PDT- (low or high irradiation) or anticancer drug-treated cells were intravenously administered to rats in a glioma cancer model.
