A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
Encephalomyelitis, Autoimmune, Experimental
An experimental animal model for central nervous system demyelinating disease. Inoculation with a white matter emulsion combined with FREUND'S ADJUVANT, myelin basic protein, or purified central myelin triggers a T cell-mediated immune response directed towards central myelin. The pathologic features are similar to MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, including perivascular and periventricular foci of inflammation and demyelination. Subpial demyelination underlying meningeal infiltrations also occurs, which is also a feature of ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, ACUTE DISSEMINATED. Passive immunization with T-cells from an afflicted animal to a normal animal also induces this condition. (From Immunol Res 1998;17(1-2):217-27; Raine CS, Textbook of Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p604-5)
Encephalomyelitis
A general term indicating inflammation of the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD, often used to indicate an infectious process, but also applicable to a variety of autoimmune and toxic-metabolic conditions. There is significant overlap regarding the usage of this term and ENCEPHALITIS in the literature.
Myelin Basic Protein
An abundant cytosolic protein that plays a critical role in the structure of multilamellar myelin. Myelin basic protein binds to the cytosolic sides of myelin cell membranes and causes a tight adhesion between opposing cell membranes.
Internal Medicine
A medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the internal organ systems of adults.
Rats, Inbred Lew
Freund's Adjuvant
An antigen solution emulsified in mineral oil. The complete form is made up of killed, dried mycobacteria, usually M. tuberculosis, suspended in the oil phase. It is effective in stimulating cell-mediated immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR) and potentiates the production of certain IMMUNOGLOBULINS in some animals. The incomplete form does not contain mycobacteria.
Encephalomyelitis, Acute Disseminated
An acute or subacute inflammatory process of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM characterized histologically by multiple foci of perivascular demyelination. Symptom onset usually occurs several days after an acute viral infection or immunization, but it may coincide with the onset of infection or rarely no antecedent event can be identified. Clinical manifestations include CONFUSION, somnolence, FEVER, nuchal rigidity, and involuntary movements. The illness may progress to COMA and eventually be fatal.

Immunological control of a murine gammaherpesvirus independent of CD8+ T cells. (1/1079)

Adult thymectomized C57 BL/6J mice were depleted of T cell subsets by MAb treatment either prior to, or after, respiratory challenge with murine gammaherpesvirus-68. Protection against acute infection was maintained when either the CD4+ or the CD8+ T cell population was greatly diminished, whereas the concurrent removal of both T cell subsets proved invariably fatal. The same depletions had little effect on mice with established infection. The results indicate firstly that both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells play a significant part in dealing with the acute infection, and secondly that virus-specific antibody contributes to controlling persistent infection with this gammaherpesvirus.  (+info)

Long-term results of pancreas transplantation under tacrolius immunosuppression. (2/1079)

BACKGROUND: The long-term safety and efficacy of tacrolimus in pancreas transplantation has not yet been demonstrated. The observation of prolonged pancreatic graft function under tacrolimus would indicate that any potential islet toxicity is short-lived and clinically insignificant. We report herein the results of pancreas transplantation in patients receiving primary tacrolimus immunosuppression for a minimum of 2 years. METHODS: From July 4, 1994 until April 18, 1996, 60 patients received either simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (n=55), pancreas transplant only (n=4), or pancreas after kidney transplantation (n=1). Baseline immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus and steroids without antilymphocyte induction. Azathioprine was used as a third agent in 51 patients and mycophenolate mofetil in 9. Rejection episodes within the first 6 months occurred in 48 (80%) patients and were treated with high-dose corticosteroids. Antilymphocyte antibody was required in eight (13%) patients with steroid-resistant rejection. RESULTS: With a mean follow-up of 35.1+/-5.9 months (range: 24.3-45.7 months), 6-month and 1-, 2-, and 33-year graft survival is 88%, 82%, 80%, and 80% (pancreas) and 98%, 96%, 93%, and 91% (kidney), respectively. Six-month and 1-, 2-, and 3-year patient survival is 100%, 98%, 98%, and 96.5%. Mean fasting glucose is 91.6+/-13.8 mg/dl, and mean glycosylated hemoglobin is 5.1+/-0.7% (normal range: 4.3-6.1%). Mean tacrolimus dose is 6.5+/-2.6 mg/day and mean prednisone dose 2.0+/-2.9 mg/day at follow-up. Complete steroid withdrawal was possible in 31 (65%) of the 48 patients with functioning pancreases. CONCLUSIONS: These data show for the first time that tacrolimus is a safe and effective long-term primary agent in pancreas transplantation and provides excellent long-term islet function without evidence of toxicity while permitting steroid withdrawal in the majority of patients.  (+info)

Prospective randomized multicenter study comparing cyclosporin alone versus the combination of antithymocyte globulin and cyclosporin for treatment of patients with nonsevere aplastic anemia: a report from the European Blood and Marrow Transplant (EBMT) Severe Aplastic Anaemia Working Party. (3/1079)

We report the results of the first prospective randomized multicenter study of immunosuppressive treatment in patients with previously untreated nonsevere aplastic anemia (AA) as defined by a neutrophil count of at least 0.5 x 10(9)/L and transfusion dependence. Patients were randomized to receive cyclosporin (CSA) alone or the combination of horse antithymocyte globulin ([ATG] Lymphoglobuline; Merieux, Lyon, France) and CSA. The endpoint of the study was the hematologic response at 6 months. One hundred fifteen patients were randomized and assessable with a median follow-up period of 36 months; 61 received CSA and 54 ATG and CSA. In the CSA group, the percentage of complete and partial responders was 23% and 23%, respectively, for an overall response rate of 46%. A significantly higher overall response rate of 74% was found in the ATG and CSA group, with 57% complete and 17% partial responders (P =. 02). Compared with CSA alone, the combination of ATG and CSA resulted in a significantly higher median hemoglobin level and platelet count at 6 months. Fewer patients required a second course of treatment before 6 months due to a nonresponse. In the CSA group, 15 of 61 (25%) patients required a course of ATG before 6 months because of disease progression, compared with only 3 of 54 (6%) in the ATG and CSA group. The survival probabilities for the two groups were comparable, 93% (CSA group) and 91% (ATG and CSA group), but at 180 days, the prevalence of patients surviving free of transfusions, which excluded patients requiring second treatment because of nonresponse, death, disease progression, or relapse, was 67% in the CSA group and 90% in the ATG and CSA group (P =.001). We conclude that the combination of ATG and CSA is superior to CSA alone in terms of the hematologic response, the quality of response, and early mortality, and a second course of immunosuppression is less frequently required.  (+info)

Characterization of T-cell repertoire of the bone marrow in immune-mediated aplastic anemia: evidence for the involvement of antigen-driven T-cell response in cyclosporine-dependent aplastic anemia. (4/1079)

To determine whether the antigen-driven T-cell response is involved in the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia (AA), we examined the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) size distribution of T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain (BV) subfamilies in the bone marrow (BM) of untreated AA patients. AA patients who did not respond to immunosuppressive therapy and those who obtained unmaintained remission early after cyclosporine (CyA) or antithymocyte globulin (ATG) therapy exhibited essentially a normal CDR3 size pattern. In contrast, five patients who needed continuous administration of CyA to maintain remission exhibited a skewed CDR3 size pattern in a number (>40%) of BV subfamilies suggestive of clonal predominance. The skewing of CDR3 size distribution became less pronounced in one of the CyA-dependent patients when the patient achieved unmaintained remission after a 4-year therapy with CyA, whereas it persisted longer than 7 years in the other patient requiring maintenance therapy. Sequencing of BV15 cDNA for which the CDR3 size pattern exhibited apparent clonal predominance in all CyA-dependent patients showed high homology of the amino acid sequence of the CDR3 between two different patients. These findings indicate that antigen-driven expansion of T cells is involved in the pathogenesis of AA characterized by CyA-dependent recovery of hematopoiesis.  (+info)

Late graft failure 8 years after first bone marrow transplantation for severe acquired aplastic anemia. (5/1079)

A 14-year-old patient with acquired very severe aplastic anemia (VSAA) underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from his HLA-identical brother. Preparative therapy was cyclophosphamide (CY) 200 mg/kg over 4 days. GVHD prophylaxis was with cyclosporin A (CsA) for a year. After an 8 year follow-up during which the patient was well with normal blood counts, graft failure occurred. At this time marrow chimerism studies demonstrated that 85% of hemopoiesis was of recipient origin. The patient was re-engrafted from the same donor after conditioning with CY 200 mg/kg over 4 days plus rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG) 3.5 mg/kg/day for 3 days. After 140 days follow-up he has a normal blood count. The possible causes of the graft failure are discussed. This case demonstrates that, although rarely, very late graft failure may occur after BMT for AA and highlights the need for long-term monitoring even in apparently successfully transplanted patients.  (+info)

Monitoring anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in bone marrow recipients. (6/1079)

The present study was undertaken to acquire a rationale for clinical dose adjustment of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) to improve cost effectiveness and safety of graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. The concentration of rabbit ATG in the serum of 12 patients was measured by ELISA and by the inhibitory effect on phytohaemagglutinin-induced blastogenesis. At 10 mg/ml ATG, 3H-thymidine incorporation was effectively blocked. Serial two-fold dilution of ATG showed that this effect decreased in a concentration-dependent manner and was lost at 10 ng/ml ATG. One hundred microlitres serum taken at day -1 to +22 post transplant effected significant inhibition of the phytohaemagglutinin-response with 49+/-12% c.p.m. (x +/- s.d.) on day +1 post transplant compared to 93+/-13% c.p.m. on day -1 (P<0.001, unpaired one-sided t-test). The rabbit-IgG was maximal at a concentration of 907+/-187 microl/ml at day 0. Subsequently, it decreased with time. While rabbit-IgG was detectable for a long period (e.g. 160 microg/ml at day +22 in patient MD), the effect on the phytohaemagglutinin-response of normal mononuclear cells lasted up to 4 days post transplant. We conclude that 90 mg/kg body weight ATG-Fresenius given prior to marrow transplant leads to sustained T cell immunosuppression post transplant.  (+info)

Use of a five-agent GVHD prevention regimen in recipients of unrelated donor marrow. (7/1079)

A five-agent GVHD prophylaxis programme consisting of cyclosporin A, methotrexate, anti-thymocyte-globulin, pentaglobin and metronidazol was given to 48 recipients of unrelated donor marrow with chronic myelogenous leukemia, acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and familiar lymphocytic hemophagocytosis of an average age of 33.5 (0.6-56) years. GVHD grades II-IV occurred in 18 patients (39%) and grades III-IV in five patients (11%). Chronic GVHD developed in nine patients (23%), three limited and six extensive. Fifteen patients died. Clinical relapse was detected in eight patients. Four patients died as a consequence of the underlying disease and subsequent treatment, 11 patients died of transplant-related causes. After a median follow-up of 19 months, the overall and disease-free survival are 67% and 62%, respectively. Survival by age is as follows: 0-19 years: 12/13 patients; 20-39 years: 14/25 patients; 40-59 years: 7/10 patients. The five-agent GVHD prophylaxis regimen is effective. Matched-unrelated donor transplants can be carried out safely in patients younger than 50 years of age. The results in patients younger than 20 years of age should encourage matched-unrelated donor transplants at earlier stages of the disease.  (+info)

L-Arginine supplementation increases mesangial cell injury and subsequent tissue fibrosis in experimental glomerulonephritis. (8/1079)

BACKGROUND: Mesangial cell lysis in the antithymocyte serum (ATS)-induced model of glomerulonephritis is dependent on the generation of cytotoxic nitric oxide (NO) through transient induction of NO synthase (iNOS). We hypothesized that increased availability of L-arginine (L-Arg) during mesangial cell lysis might provide iNOS with increased substrate leading to increased lysis, and that this increased lysis would be reflected in more severe fibrotic disease at day 6. METHODS: To ensure whole body equilibration with high L-Arg at the time of injury, rats were pretreated with 1% L-Arg in drinking water for one week prior to the administration of ATS. Animals were sacrificed six hours after ATS injection when previous experiments had indicated iNOS induction had occurred and at six days. At six hours, plasma was obtained for L-Arg levels and nitrite/nitrate (NOx) content. Renal tissues were taken for histological evaluation of glomerular cell counts, macrophage infiltration (ED-1), and iNOS expression. Glomeruli were isolated for detection of iNOS mRNA and placed in culture to study the dependence of NO production on L-Arg concentration. In rats sacrificed at six days, L-Arg supplementation was stopped 16 hours after ATS injection. Fibrotic disease was evaluated by urinary protein excretion, histological assessment of glomerular cell number, matrix accumulation, and production of transforming growth factor-beta1 and matrix components fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) by isolated glomeruli in culture. RESULTS: At six hours, the glomerular cell number was significantly reduced by ATS injection (P < 0.01) and further significantly (P < 0. 05) reduced by L-Arg feeding [normal control (NC) = 64.2 +/- 1, ATS = 53.4 +/- 0.7, ATS + L-Arg = 50.8 +/- 0.7]. Disease increased macrophage infiltration and iNOS protein and iNOS mRNA levels markedly (P < 0.01), whereas L-Arg feeding did not further increase these variables. Plasma L-Arg levels (nmol/ml) were reduced by disease (NC = 121 +/- 9, ATS = 84 +/- 13, P < 0.01) and elevated by L-Arg feeding (ATS + L-Arg = 166 +/- 12, P < 0.01). Plasma NOx was significantly increased by ATS and further increased by ATS + L-Arg (P < 0.05). Production of NOx by cultured glomeruli showed striking L-Arg concentration dependence in six hours but not in normal glomeruli. In the group sacrificed at day 6, day 2 proteinuria was higher in the ATS + L-Arg group compared with the ATS alone group (P < 0.05). Measures of fibrotic disease at day 6 all showed large increases over control with ATS alone (P < 0.01), and further small, but significant increases when L-Arg was combined with ATS (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that if given during disease induction, L-Arg supplementation can enhance iNOS-dependent tissue injury by providing increased substrate. Although the increase in injury with L-Arg supplementation was small, it led to increased fibrosis at day 6. These data predict that in diseases with repeated iNOS-dependent tissue injury, L-Arg supplementation may produce cumulative increases in tissue fibrosis.  (+info)

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) after immunosuppressive therapy for aplastic anemia (AA) is extremely rare in a nontransplant setting and has not been well described. This report describes a severe AA patient in whom fatal EBV-LPD developed after being treated with rabbit antithymocyte globulins (ATG) and cyclosporine A (CsA). An 81-year-old man was diagnosed as having severe AA. He was started on CsA followed by administration of ATG for five consecutive days. One month after the start of ATG, persistent fever which was not responsive to antibiotics or antifungal agents developed and atypical lymphocytes emerged in peripheral blood. Repeated blood cultures were negative. An extremely high level of EBV virus in his peripheral blood plasma was detected by means of a quantitative real-time PCR assay. Even after the cessation of CsA, the fever persisted and the peripheral atypical lymphocytes proliferated rapidly. The patient suffered from respiratory failure, liver

Anti-lymphocyte globulin - WikipediaAnti-lymphocyte globulin - Wikipedia
Anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG) is an infusion of animal- antibodies against human T cells which is used in the treatment of acute rejection in organ transplantation. Its use was first reported by Thomas Starzl in 1966. Its use in transplant was supplanted by thymoglobulin between 1984 and 1999. It has also been used in the treatment of aplastic anemia. It is less commonly used than the similar anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), and like ATG it is associated with cytokine release syndrome in the short term and an increased risk of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder in the long term. ALG is more likely to cause side effects than ATG, but is safer than OKT3. The product was manufactured by Upjohn and Merieux, as well as the Schweizerisches Serum- und Impfinstitut in Bern, the latter of which was made by injecting horses with human thoracic duct lymphocytes and was called Lymphoser Berna.

Anti-thymocyte globulinAnti-thymocyte globulin
Australian Medicines Handbook section 14.5.3 Anti-thymocyte globulin is indicated for the prophylaxis of renal graft rejection as well as the treatment of steroid-resistant renal transplant rejection. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. However, 15-35% of transplant recipients will experience one episode of acute rejection in the first year. Giving antibody to deplete thymocytes (T cells) is one way to suppress the immune system to prevent or reverse graft rejection. Anti-thymocyte globulin is a polyclonal antibody against human T cells. It is a gamma immunoglobulin produced by immunising rabbits. As well as depleting T cells in the circulation, anti-thymocyte globulin is also thought to reduce T cell proliferation, homing and cytotoxic effects within the body. Depletion of T cells occurs within a day of starting intravenous treatment. This immunoglobulin has been compared to other treatments in renal transplant patients who are also ...

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patients immune system from rejecting the donors stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patients immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the bodys normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, sirolimus, antithymocyte globulin, and methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening.. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sirolimus, tacrolimus, and antithymocyte globulin work in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant for hematological cancer . ...

After becoming resistant to multiple chemotherapeutic agents, the patient was treated with antithymocyte globulin. A 75% reduction in adenopathy and complete resolution of skin erythema was observed during an 8-day period. In addition the percent of circulating T cells and the ability of those cells to respond to phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A were reduced after antithymocyte globulin therapy. The patient died of an intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to profound thrombocytopenia. The study suggests that tumor lysis may be achieved by passive antibody therapy in certain advanced lymphomas. ...

Background T-cell depletion therapy is associated with diminished interleukin (IL)-7/IL-15-dependent homeostatic proliferation resulting in incomplete T-cell repopulation. Furthermore, it is associated with impaired T-cell functions. We hypothesized that this is the result of impaired cytokine responsiveness of T cells, through affected signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)5 phosphorylation and upregulation of coinhibitory molecules. Materials and Methods Patients were treated with T cell-depleting rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) (6 mg/kg, n = 17) or nondepleting, anti-CD25 antibody (basiliximab, 2 × 40 mg, n = 25) induction therapy, in combination with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and steroids. Before and the first year after transplantation, IL-7 and IL-2 induced STAT5 phosphorylation, and the expression of the coinhibitory molecules programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3), lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3), cytotoxic ...

The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes in both humans and NOD mice appears dependent upon an aberrant immune response that results in the destruction of insulin-producing β-cells. While prevention of type 1 diabetes in NOD mice can be accomplished through a wide variety of monotherapies, reversal of overt disease has considerably fewer reported efficacious therapies (30,31). Of those that do show success, many combine two or more therapeutic agents to achieve this reversal (32,33). Indeed, one of the earliest demonstrations for the ability of combination therapy to reverse hyperglycemia in NOD mice utilized a somewhat similar form of murine ATG, anti-lymphocyte serum, in combination with exendin-4, to effectively reverse disease in this animal model of type 1 diabetes (14). Consequently, herein we have described an approach using two clinically relevant therapies, ATG and GCSF, for the purpose of immunomodulation that would provide benefit in terms of reversing type 1 diabetes, as demonstrated in ...

Introduction: ATG-Fresenius, a highly purified rabbit polyclonal anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin resulting from immunisation of rabbits with the Jurkat T-Lymphoblast cell line is currently used for the prevention of acute rejection in patients receiving solid organ-transplants. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro activity of ATG-Fresenius that underlies its activity in prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury in solid organ transplantation.. Material and methods: Human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from umbilical vein or peripheral blood, incubated 20 to 24 h before analysis of adhesion molecule expression and use in the ATG Fresenius-binding or immune cell adhesion assays. The cells were cultured alone or activated with TNF-alpha (HUVECs) or phytohaemagglutinin (PBMCs) for 20 h. HUVEC were incubated for 30 min at 2-8 C with 10 and 100 mg/mL ATG-Fresenius (Fresenius Biotech GmbH) or reference rabbit IgG ...

This is a multi-institution, single arm, non-randomized pilot study coordinated by the Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium. Eligible patients will have severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID) or severe T-cell immunodeficiency disorder. Patients with these disorders do not have properly functioning immune systems. Without treatment, these disorders result in early childhood death. The standard treatment used for these diseases is to give the patient a stem cell transplant from a matched donor. The donor cells can be from a family member, an unrelated marrow donor or umbilical cord blood. The donor source will impact on transplant risks and approaches to the preparative regimen.. There have been many different preparative regimens used for patients with SCIDS or severe T-cell immunodeficiency syndromes. Some patients have gotten no preparative regimen, while others have gotten only antithymocyte globulin (ATG; immune proteins made in horses that, when given, will kill ...

ESN individuals also display some unconventional humoral immune responses that may play a role in HIV neutralization: a very effective protective mechanism against viral infections. Two kinds of HIV-related humoral immune responses have been described in ESN individuals so far: antibodies to cellular proteins involved in the HIV infection/entry process, and HIV-specific mucosal antibodies.. The induction of anticell immune responses is rather common, and antilymphocyte antibodies have been observed early in sera from HIV-infected patients [55-57]. As the majority of these antibodies recognize HLA or CD4 molecules, their appearance had first been attributed to the cytopathic effect of HIV infection or to the long-lasting exposure to blood derivatives, as in the case of haemophiliacs [58,59]. In this regard, HIV-blocking IgG directed against HLA class I and CD4 molecules have been found in sera of ESN individuals [60-63] (n = 14/31). Anti-CD4 antibodies of ESN individuals recognize epitopes ...

Appreciate it! Oddly, the Professional version of the drugs.com page on Symbicort does mention inhaled corticosteroids:. MONITOR: The administration of inactivated, killed, or otherwise noninfectious vaccines to immunosuppressed patients is generally safe but may be associated with a diminished or suboptimal immunologic response due to antibody inhibition. Such patients may include those who have recently received or are receiving immunosuppressive agents, antilymphocyte globulins, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, radiation, some antirheumatic agents, high dosages of corticosteroids or adrenocorticotropic agents (e.g., greater than 10 mg/​day or 1 mg/​kg/​day of prednisone or equivalent for more than 2 weeks), or long-term topical or inhaled corticosteroids.. That said, a physician friend of mine responded to my similar post on FB by saying the following, so combined with the research you cite, Im inclined to think that Im fine: Theres a big difference between the dosage of ...

This is what I understand is happening with my white blood cells, especially T-Cells. T-Cells are the dudes that really go out to destroy foreign particles in the body. We have to get them down in order for them not to attack incoming stem cells wednesday. over the past 4 days, the busulfex has essentially put the whammy on new T-Cell production. IE: there are no re-enforcements for the T-Cells. However, the busulfex only stops new production of T-Cells, therefore any T-Cells hanging around before the busulfex must be now nuked. So they use this stuff called ATG. This are Antithymocyte Globulin Rabbit antibodies. Harmless little rabbit antibodies. However, when they are injected into the patients system, they alarm the T-Cells to the max. This is what the T-Cells do: Eat the antibodies, release cytokines, hope for re-enforcements. Eating the antibodies is good. Dont need them, but they are really not a harm anyway. Releasing Cytokines will heat things up causing fever, sometimes killing the ...

Before treatment, allergy to ATG was determined by intradermal injection of 0.1 mL of ATG at a concentration of 5 mg/mL. Antithymocyte globulin treatment was contraindicated if erythema larger than 5 mm in diameter, compared with the saline control, developed. Eligible patients were given ATG (Pharmacia, Peapack, New Jersey), 40 mg/kg of body weight daily for 4 days. Antithymocyte globulin was administered intravenously over 4 to 8 hours with oral prednisone, 1 mg/kg daily [minimum of 40 mg/d], for 10 days and then tapered by day 17. Clinic visits were scheduled at 3, 6, and 12 months and then annually. Bone marrow aspirate, biopsy specimens, and bone marrow samples for cytogenetic analysis were obtained at 6 and 12 months and then annually. Excluding transfusions and antibiotics, patients received no other treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes for at least 6 months. The main criterion for response was independence from red blood cell transfusion. This criterion was met if 1) the patient was ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We previously reported that patients with acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) treated with antilymphocyte globulin (ALG), 6-methylprednisolone, cyclosporin A (CyA) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) can mobilize peripheral blood hemopoietic progenitors (PBHP). The aim of the present study was to assess phenotypic and functional properties of these PBHP. METHODS: We studied seven patients who underwent 43 leukophereses (median 5) between day +30 and +80 following ALG, while in treatment with CyA and G-CSF. Mobilized peripheral blood hemopoietic progenitors were analyzed using surface markers, conventional assays for clonogenic cells (CFU-GM, BFU-E, CFU-GEMM) as well as the recently developed assay for long-term culture initiating cells (LTC-ICs). RESULTS: The proportion of CD34+ cells ranged between 0% and 5.4% (median 0.3%), CD34+DR between 0% and 3.5% (median 0.1%) and CD8+ cells between 3.3% and 56% (median 31%).

BACKGROUND: Surveillance biopsies (SBs) are performed in some pediatric kidney transplant programs, based on data obtained in earlier immunosuppressive eras that the treatment of subclinical acute rejection results in better graft survival. The benefit of SBs for patients on modern immunosuppression regimens is unclear. We have therefore evaluated the clinical utility of SBs in a population of children receiving a kidney transplant. METHODS: We have performed SBs at 3, 6 and 12 months post-transplantation as standard of care at our institution since 2013 in patients on a regimen of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, mycophenolate and rapid steroid taper (RST; steroids maintained in some exceptions ...

Infection after heart transplantation: A multiinstitutional studyInfection after heart transplantation: A multiinstitutional study
The incidence, causes, and impact of acute infection were analyzed among 814 consecutive patients from 24 institutions undergoing primary heart transplantation between January 1, 1990, and June 30, 1991, with mean follow- up of 8.2 months (range 0 to 18 months). Sixty-nine percent of the patients had no infections during the follow-up, whereas 31% of patients had one or more infection episodes. The cumulative incidence of infections per patient was 0.41 at 3 months, 0.55 at 6 months, and 0.62 at 12 months after transplantation. Bacterial and viral infections were most common (47% and 41% of infections), with fungi and protozoa accounting for 12%. Overall mortality per infection was 13%, but mortality with fungal infections was higher (36%, p < 0.0001). The most common organ infected was the lung, with a mortality of 23%. The probability of infection by 12 months was higher when OKT3 or antithymocyte globulin induction therapy was used (41% versus 35%, p = 0.01). The single most frequent ...

Immobilization of Raji cells on surface coated with anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG) at low cell densities lead to the synthesis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early antigen (EA) in up to 5% of the cells. At higher cell densities the percentage of antigen-positive cells decreased and at confluency no antigen synthesis was observed. Addition of iododeoxyuridine (IdUrd) to low density cultures increased the expression of EA to 20%, whereas in confluent cultures the cells could not be induced to synthesize EA. Treatment of cells in suspension with ALG failed to induced EA synthesis and did not potentiate the effect of IdUrd. Immobilized Raji cells proved to be suitable targets for superinfection with EBV derived from P3HR1 cultures. ...

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening blood disease that can be successfully treated with immunosuppressive drug regimens or allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, 20-40% of patients are ineligible for transplant due to lack of an appropriate donor, age, or comorbidities. Immunosuppression can be more broadly utilized, but about 1/3 of patients do not respond to a single course of horse ATG and cyclosporine and have persistent severe cytopenias.

In the Subjects, Materials, and Methods Subjects section of this paper one reads: In February 2007, an HIV-infected patient underwent stem cell transplantation (SCT) due to a relapse of AML with a graft consisting of CCR5A32/A32 donor cells. The pre-transplant conditioning regimen included 100 mg/m2 of amsacrine, 30 mg/m2 of fludarabine, 2 g/m2 of cytarabine (day -12 until -9), 60 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (days -4 and -3), 5.5 mg/kg of rabbit antithymocyte globuline (in three doses between day -3 and -1), and a 400 cGy total body irradiation (TBI; day -5). ART was discontinued on the day of transplantation, and 13 months later the patient received a second transplant with CCR5A32/A32 stem cells from the same donor due to a second relapse of AML. The conditioning regimen consisted of 100 mg/m2 of cytarabine (day -7 until day -1), 6 mg/m2 of gemtuzumab (day -7 and day -1), and a 200 cGy TBI (day -1)... Twelve months post-transplant, the patient underwent liver biopsy and histological examination ...
