AI Article Synopsis

  • * In a study involving mouse skin transplants, GILs present at day 5 or day 7 post-transplant led to complete rejection of grafts, while GILs from day 3 did not induce rejection.
  • * The findings suggest that GILs' ability to promote or prevent rejection is time-dependent, indicating that day 3 GILs had no effect on promoting graft rejection in skin transplant scenarios.

Article Abstract

Graft-infiltrating lymphocytes (GILs) play an important role in promoting rejection after organ transplantation. We recently reported that GILs that accumulated up to 3 days post-transplantation did not promote rejection, whereas GILs present 3-5 days post-transplantation promoted rejection in a mouse heart transplantation model. However, the immunological behaviour of GILs in murine skin transplantation remains unclear. GILs were isolated on days 3, 5 or 7 post-transplantation from C57BL/6 (B6) allogeneic skin grafts transplanted onto BALB/c mice. BALB/c Rag2 γc mice (BRGs) underwent B6 skin graft transplantation 10 weeks after adoptive transfer of day 3, 5, or 7 GILs. BRGs reconstituted with day 5 or 7 GILs completely rejected B6 grafts. However, when B6 grafts harvested from recipient BALB/c mice on day 5 or 7 were re-transplanted into BRGs, half of the re-transplanted day 5 grafts established long-term survival, although all re-transplanted day 7 grafts were rejected. BRGs reconstituted with day 3 GILs did not reject B6 grafts. Consistently, re-transplantation using day 3 skin grafts resulted in no rejection. Administration of anti-CD25 antibodies did not prevent the phenomenon observed for the day 3 skin grafts. Furthermore, BRGs reconstituted with splenocytes from naïve BALB/c mice immediately rejected the naïve B6 skin grafts and the re-transplanted day 3 B6 grafts, suggesting that day 3 GILs were unable to induce allograft rejection during the rejection process. In conclusion, the immunological role of GILs depends on the time since transplantation. Day 3 GILs had neither protective nor alloreactive effects in the skin transplant model.

Antibodies have a key role in the immune system, making their characterization essential to biomedical, biopharmaceutical, and clinical research questions. Antibody effector functions are mainly controlled by quantity, subclass, and Fc glycosylation. We describe an integrated method to measure these three critical dimensions simultaneously.

Background: The immunological determinants of delayed viral clearance and intrahost viral evolution that drive the development of new pathogenic virus strains in immunocompromised individuals are unknown. Therefore, we longitudinally studied severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific immune responses in relation to viral clearance and evolution in immunocompromised individuals.

Methods: Among Omicron-infected immunocompromised individuals, we determined SARS-CoV-2-specific T- and B-cell responses, anti-spike immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgG3 titers, neutralization titers, and monoclonal antibody (mAb) resistance-associated mutations.

An 18-year, single centre, retrospective study of long-term neurological outcomes in paediatric submersion-related cardiac arrests.

Resusc Plus

June 2024

Department of Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care, Division of Paediatric Intensive Care, Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Doctor Molewaterplein 40, 3015 GD Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Aim: Investigate long-term outcome in paediatric submersion-related cardiac arrests (CA).

Methods: Children (age one day-17 years) were included if admitted to the Erasmus MC Sophia Children's Hospital, after drowning with CA, between 2002 and 2019. Primary outcome was survival with favourable neurological outcome, defined as a Paediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) score of 1-3 at longest available follow-up.

Background: Many prediction models have been developed to help identify emergency department (ED) patients at high risk of poor outcome. However, these models often underperform in clinical practice and their actual clinical impact has hardly ever been evaluated. We aim to perform a clinical trial to investigate the clinical impact of a prediction model based on machine learning (ML) technology.
