Operational tolerance (OT) after kidney transplantation is defined as stable graft acceptance without the need for immunosuppression therapy. However, it is not clear which cellular and molecular pathways are driving tolerance in these patients. In this first-of-its-kind pilot study, we assessed the immune landscape associated with OT using single-cell analyses.

Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee. University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee.

Purpose: Not all natural killer (NK) cells are equally cytotoxic against leukemia because of differences in receptor gene content and surface expression. We correlated NK cell genotype and phenotype at diagnosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with minimal residual disease (MRD) after induction chemotherapy.

Experimental Design: The NK cells and leukemia blasts of 244 patients were analyzed at diagnosis by killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) typing and immunophenotyping.

Anal intraepithelial neoplasia in women with genital intraepithelial neoplasia.

Obstet Gynecol

September 2010

From the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, University of Tennessee-West Clinic, Memphis, Tennessee; the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Tennessee-University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee; the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, West Clinic, Memphis, Tennessee; the Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee; and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The University of Michigan Hospitals, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of anal intraepithelial neoplasia in heterosexual women with genital intraepithelial neoplasia, and to compare anal cytology with colposcopy for their effectiveness in anal intraepithelial neoplasia screening.

Methods: Women with confirmed intraepithelial neoplasia on the cervix, vagina, or vulva were referred for gynecologic oncology care. All patients underwent anal cytology and high-resolution anoscopy.
