Current doctrine is that microvascular inflammation (MVI) triggered by a transplant -recipient antibody response against alloantigens (antibody-mediated rejection) the main cause of graft failure. Here, we show histological lesions are not mediated antibodies in approximately half participants cohort 129 renal recipients with MVI on biopsy. Genetic analysis these patients shows higher prevalence mismatches between donor HLA I and recipient inhibitory killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors...

Background Binding of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) to kidney allograft endothelial cells that does not activate the classic complement cascade can trigger recruitment innate immune effectors, including NK cells. Activated contribute microvascular inflammation leading chronic antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Recipient also antibody-independent by sensing absence self HLA class I molecules (“missing self”) on This translational study investigated whether condition missing amplifies...
Antibody-mediated rejection is currently the leading cause of transplant failure. Prevailing dogma predicts that B cells differentiate into anti-donor-specific antibody (DSA)-producing plasma only with help CD4+ T cells. Yet, previous studies have shown dependence on helper decreases when high amounts protein antigen are recruited to spleen, two conditions potentially met by organ transplantation. This could explain why a significant proportion recipients develop DSA despite therapeutic...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a critical condition that may lead to organ failure and early death. The aim of this retrospective observational study was describe cohort HLH patients admitted intensive care unit (ICU) investigate the risk factors A positive diagnosis defined by an HScore ≥169. Univariate multivariate analyses were carried out hospital 28-day mortality factors. Between January 2002 July 2014, 71 cases seen at our institution. overall (start ICU admission) 38%...
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have reduced ability to mount adequate antibody response after two doses of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. French health authorities allowed a third booster dose (D3) for KTRs, but their is heterogeneous and tools able discriminate responders are lacking.Anti-RBD IgG titers (chemiluminescence immunoassay), spike-specific cellular responses (IFN-γ-releasing assay, IGRA), in vitro serum neutralization virus (the best available correlate protection), were...
Despite the critical role of cytokines in allograft rejection, relation peripheral blood cytokine profiles to clinical kidney transplant rejection has not been fully elucidated. We assessed 28 through multiplex assay 293 samples from recipients at time graft dysfunction. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering identified a subset patients with increased pro-inflammatory levels. This patient was hallmarked by high prevalence (75%) donor-specific anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies (HLA-DSA)...
The generation of antibodies against donor-specific major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens, a type (DSAs), after transplantation requires that recipient's allospecific B cells receive help from T cells. current dogma holds this is exclusively provided by the CD4+ recognize complexes MHC II molecules and peptides derived alloantigens, process called indirect allorecognition. Here, we demonstrated that, allogeneic heart transplantation, CD3ε knockout recipient mice lacking generate...
Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain exhibit high dimensionality that pose significant challenges for computational analysis. While models proposed MRIs analyses yield encouraging results, complexity neuroimaging data hinders generalizability and clinical application. We introduce DUNE, a neuroimaging-oriented encoder designed to extract deep-features from multisequence MRIs, thereby enabling their processing by basic machine learning algorithms. A UNet-based autoencoder was trained...
Abstract Objectives Only a third of patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis polyangiitis (EGPA) are ANCA-positive, mainly directed against MPO. ANCA PR3 rarely found in EGPA. We aimed to examine the significance PR3-ANCA Methods set up retrospective European multicentre cohort including 845 patients. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were analysed compared according status. Results status was available for 734 patients: 508 (69.2%) ANCA-negative, 210 (28.6%) MPO-ANCA 16 (2.2%)...
Abstract Optimization of individual immunosuppression, which reduces the risks both graft loss and patients' death, is considered best approach to improve long‐term outcomes renal transplantation. Torque Teno Virus (TTV) DNAemia has emerged as a potential biomarker reflecting depth therapeutic immunosuppression during initial year post‐transplantation. However, its efficacy in monitoring remains uncertain. In cohort study involving 34 stable kidney transplant recipients 124 healthy...
Abstract Background Patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) are at high risk of infection with SARS-Cov-2 and death due to COVID-19. This vulnerable population has been prioritized for vaccination, but the level protection achieved in these immunocompromised patients is unclear.
