Objectives: Tracheal transplantation is an ideal option for the reconstruction of long-segment circumferential tracheal defects. Our group performed the first successful vascularized single-staged tracheal transplantation in January 2021. Although a rigid biocompatible structure is necessary for a functioning tracheal replacement, the importance of ciliated epithelium, which allows for critical mucociliary clearance, is now being appreciated.

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection (CAEBV) is a systemic T- or NK-lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) caused by EBV. Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative therapy for CAEBV, but relapse sometimes occurs. Relapse is generally attributed to proliferation of recipient-derived CAEBV cells.

Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) induced by donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) remains a major cause of long-term graft loss after kidney transplantation. Currently, the presence of DSA cannot always be determined at a specific allele level, because existing donor HLA typing is low resolution and often incomplete, lacking HLA-DP, and occasionally HLA-C and HLA-DQ information and historical donor DNA samples are not available for HLA retyping. Here we present a novel, non-invasive technique for obtaining donor DNA from selectively expanded donor cells from urine of renal transplant recipients.

Interrogating the impact of KIR ligand mismatch in engraftment following HLA-disparate stem cell transplantation.

Bone Marrow Transplant

Stem Cell Transplant Program, University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, 11100 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.

The effects of donor-derived natural killer (NK) cell alloreactivity on disease relapse and transplant-related mortality following allogeneic stem cell transplantation have been described while the impact of recipient-derived NK cell alloreactivity on donor engraftment is not well known. Epitopes of HLA Class I molecules act as ligands for NK cell killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) regulating their cytotoxicity. As such, NK cell alloreactivity is predictable from KIR ligand mismatches between donors and recipients.
