Small pumps, often implantable, designed for temporarily assisting the heart, usually the LEFT VENTRICLE, to pump blood. They consist of a pumping chamber and a power source, which may be partially or totally external to the body and activated by electromagnetic motors.

Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

Solutions used to store organs and minimize tissue damage, particularly while awaiting implantation.

A nonparametric method of compiling LIFE TABLES or survival tables. It combines calculated probabilities of survival and estimates to allow for observations occurring beyond a measurement threshold, which are assumed to occur randomly. Time intervals are defined as ending each time an event occurs and are therefore unequal. (From Last, A Dictionary of Epidemiology, 1995)

Donor MHC and adhesion molecules in transplant arteriosclerosis. (1/919)

Transplant-associated arteriosclerosis remains an obstacle to long-term graft survival. To determine the contribution to transplant arteriosclerosis of MHC and adhesion molecules from cells of the donor vasculature, we allografted carotid artery loops from six mutant mouse strains into immunocompetent CBA/CaJ recipients. The donor mice were deficient in either MHC I molecules or MHC II molecules, both MHC I and MHC II molecules, the adhesion molecule P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, or both P-selectin and ICAM-1. Donor arteries in which ICAM-1, MHC II, or both MHC I and MHC II were absent showed reductions in neointima formation of 52%, 33%, and 38%, respectively, due primarily to a reduction in smooth muscle cell (SMC) accumulation. In P-selectin-deficient donor arteries, neointima formation did not differ from that in controls. In donor arteries lacking both P-selectin and ICAM-1, the size of the neointima was similar to that in those lacking ICAM-1 alone. In contrast, neointima formation increased by 52% in MHC I-deficient donor arteries. The number of CD4-positive T cells increased by 2.8-fold in MHC I-deficient arteries, and that of alpha-actin-positive SMCs by twofold. These observations indicate that ICAM-1 and MHC II molecules expressed in the donor vessel wall may promote transplant-associated arteriosclerosis. MHC I molecules expressed in the donor may have a protective effect. (+info)

Effective treatment of autoimmune disease and progressive renal disease by mixed bone-marrow transplantation that establishes a stable mixed chimerism in BXSB recipient mice. (2/919)

Male BXSB mice spontaneously develop autoimmune disease with features similar to systemic lupus erythematosus. To determine whether this autoimmune disease can be treated as well as prevented by bone-marrow transplantation (BMT) and, at the same time, whether the immunity functions of lethally irradiated recipients can be reconstituted fully, male BXSB mice were engrafted with mixed T cell-depleted marrow (TCDM) both from fully allogeneic autoimmune-resistant BALB/c mice and from syngeneic autoimmune-prone BXSB mice, after the onset of autoimmune disease in the recipient mice. BMT with mixed TCDM from both resistant and susceptible strains of mice (mixed BMT) established stable mixed chimerism, prolonged the median life span, and arrested development of glomerulonephritis in BXSB mice. BMT with mixed TCDM also reduced the formation of anti-DNA antibodies that are observed typically in male mice of this strain. Furthermore, mixed BMT reconstituted the primary antibody production in BXSB recipients impressively. These findings indicate that transplantation of allogeneic autoimmune-resistant TCDM plus syngeneic autoimmune-prone TCDM into lethally irradiated BXSB mice can be used to treat autoimmune and renal disease in this strain of mice. In addition, this dual bone-marrow transplantation reconstitutes the immunity functions and avoids the immunodeficiencies that occur regularly in fully allogeneic chimeras after total body irradiation. This report describes an effective treatment of progressive renal disease and autoimmunity by establishing a stable mixed chimerism of TCDM transplantation from allogeneic autoimmune-resistant BALB/c mice plus syngeneic autoimmune-prone BXSB mice into BXSB mice.

Immune reconstitution after bone marrow transplantation for combined immunodeficiencies: down-modulation of Bcl-2 and high expression of CD95/Fas account for increased susceptibility to spontaneous and activation-induced lymphocyte cell death. (3/919)

We have studied the regeneration of T cell subsets and function after BMT in 21 children affected by combined immunodeficiency after BMT. In the first months, the striking predominance of CD4+ cells displayed the primed CD45R0+ phenotype and a high number of activated (HLA-DR+) T cells were observed. Regeneration of naive CD4+CD45RA+ cells correlated with the recovery of proliferative responses to mitogens (r = 0.64, P<0.001). Peripheral blood lymphocytes circulating after BMT undergo an increased process of in vitro cell death, resulting from two mechanisms: spontaneous apoptosis (SA), a consequence of defective production of IL-2 and down-regulation of Bcl-2 (P = 0.02 vs. healthy controls), and high susceptibility to activation-induced cell death (AICD) after restimulation with mitogens. In accordance with the role of CD95/Fas in this latter process, we have observed a high level of CD95 expression (P<0.001 vs. healthy controls), correlated with AICD (P<0.001) but not with SA, and decreasing with time after BMT (P<0.001). Both SA and AICD levels correlated with the presence of activated T cells and decreased with the progressive recovery of T cell proliferative response. Therefore, the lymphocyte hyperactivated status might explain their susceptibility to apoptosis and contribute to the genesis of immunodeficiency that follows BMT. (+info)

Increasing mixed haematopoietic chimaerism after BMT with total depletion of CD4+ and partial depletion of CD8+ lymphocytes is associated with a higher incidence of relapse. (4/919)

In this study we analysed the incidence and clinical impact of the persistence of host haemopoiesis (mixed chimaerism, MC) after allogeneic BMT in 35 consecutive patients with haematologic malignancies using a total CD4+ cell-depleted graft with an adjusted dose of CD8+ cells (1x10(8)/kg). Chimaerism was assessed by PCR amplification of VNTRs in 30 evaluable patients: 19 non-CML and 11 CML cases which were also evaluated for the BCR-ABL transcript by RT-PCR. All but one had complete engraftment with a donor profile early post-BMT. At the end of the study period, 12 of 30 patients displayed MC (40%). The overall disease-free survival for MC patients was clearly unfavourable when compared to those who exhibited a donor profile (24.7% vs. 100%, P = 0.005). However, we found that only two of five patients with MC in the non-CML group relapsed, whereas a clear correlation could be made between MC and relapse in CML (seven showed MC, preceding cytogenetic or haematological relapse in six of them, which displayed a prior BCR-ABL mRNA positivity). In addition, a quantitative-PCR approach enabled us to demonstrate that increasing amounts of MC are invariably associated with subsequent relapse, whereas a low stable level of host or complete donor haemopoiesis is consistent with clinical complete remission. Although these results suggest that the clinical impact of MC may depend on the underlying disease, it is compatible with the concept that the graft-versus-leukaemia effect against CML is mainly exerted by donor CD4+ lymphocytes. Elimination of this cellular subset may be responsible for the inability of the graft to prevent a progressive increase in the tumor cell burden. (+info)

Immune reconstitution following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplants. (5/919)

Growth factor-mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) engraft rapidly in myeloablated recipients compared to conventional BM, but this procedure also mobilizes mature lymphocytes and monocytes which can impact immune reconstitution and GVHD. Hence, we serially evaluated immune reconstitution and cytokine expression in PBSCT recipients in the first year. Engraftment of neutrophils and monocytes stabilized early but NK cells, B cells and CD4+ T cell numbers were significantly (P < 0.05) low with persistently reversed CD4:CD8 ratios. NK function remained low throughout the first year. The quantitative decrease in CD4+ T cells resulted in significantly decreased proliferation in response to mitogens and alloHLA antigens. Yet, a qualitative analysis of T cell function measured by Ca++ influx after T cell activation with antiCD3 as well as T-dependent polyclonal Ig secretion by mitogen-stimulated B cells was preserved even early post transplant. TNF alpha mRNA was detected in almost all recipients in the first year. IL-10 mRNA was detected in 77%, IL-2 in 22% and IFN gamma in 44% of recipients in the first 6 months. Only 30% expressed IL-10 in the second 6 months post transplant while expression of IL-2 and IFN gamma was detected in 38% and 46% respectively. Thirty-seven percent of PBSCT recipients developed grades II-IV acute GVHD but 72% went on to develop chronic extensive GVHD at a median of 120 days. Sixty-two percent developed CMV viremia and 5.4% developed overt CMV disease in the first year post PBSCT. Lymphocyte engraftment is quantitatively delayed but CD4 functions are preserved while NK numbers and function are compromised post PBSCT. IL-10 expression decreases after the first 6 months post transplant while TNF alpha is continually expressed. The balance between quantitative lymphocyte reconstitution and qualitative lymphocyte functions as well as changes in lymphokine patterns may influence infection and GVHD and thus the clinical outcome post PBSCT.

Effective T cell regeneration following high-dose chemotherapy rescued with CD34+ cell enriched peripheral blood progenitor cells in children. (6/919)

The ex vivo enrichment for the CD34+ cell fraction of PBPC, while it retains the capacity to restore haematopoiesis and potentially reduces a contamination by tumour cells, implements a depletion of T cells. To test whether such a setting adversely affects T cell reconstitution, we monitored T cells in four paediatric patients after CD34+ selected PBPC transplantation. The dose of CD34+ cells, which were enriched to 74%, median, was 7.1 x 10(6)/kg, median, that of T cells was 0.071 x 10(6)/kg, median. The patients were homogenous with respect to features with a potential to effect T cell reconstitution (low median age, (35 years); stage IV malignant tumours in first CR, uncomplicated post-treatment course). The results of sequential FACS analyses showed that by 9 months after treatment all four patients had recovered (1) a normal T cell count (CD3+ cells 1434/microl, median); (2) a normal CD4+ cell count (816/microl, median), while CD8+ cells were recovered (>330/microl) already by 3 months; (3) a normal CD4/CD8 ratio (1.8, median), as a result of an augmented growth of CD4+ cells between 3 and 6 months (increase of CD4+ cells 4.9-fold, median, CD8+ cells 1.1-fold, median). Expansion of cells with a CD45RA+ phenotype (thymus-derived T cells) predominated; from 3 to 6 months the increase of CD4+/CD45RA+ T cells was 130-fold, that of CD4+/CD45RO+ cells was 1.7-fold; CD8+/CD45RA+ cells increased 9-fold, CD8+/CD45RO+ cells increased 2.1-fold, indicating effective thymopoiesis. The findings demonstrate that in paediatric patients the setting of HD-CTX rescued with autologous CD34+ selected PBPC per se is not predictive of an impaired T cell recovery. High thymic activity may be a key factor for the rapid restoration of T cells. (+info)

Mice with Th2-biased immune systems accept orthotopic corneal allografts placed in "high risk" eyes. (7/919)

CD4+ T cells of the Th1 type play a central role in acute rejection of solid tissue grafts, including orthotopic corneal allografts. Th1 cells, which mediate delayed hypersensitivity, are the polar opposites of CD4+ Th2 cells, and the latter cells cross-regulate Th1 cells through the unique pattern of cytokines they secrete. As such, Th2 cells may have a useful role to play in preventing rejection of corneal allografts. To test this possibility, the immune systems of adult mice were biased toward Th2 responses by immunization with keyhole limpet hemocyanin plus IFA. When immunized subsequently with either OVA or allogeneic corneal tissue, these mice acquired Ag-specific primed T cells of the Th2 type. More important, allogeneic corneas grafted into neovascularized eyes of Th2-biased mice experienced significantly enhanced survival. To demonstrate that enhanced survival was promoted by donor-specific Th2 cells, lymphoid cells from keyhole limpet hemocyanin-immune mice bearing healthy corneal allografts suppressed orthotopic corneal allograft rejection when adoptively transferred into naive, syngeneic recipients. We conclude that acceptance of corneal allografts in neovascularized mouse eyes can be significantly enhanced by biasing the recipient immune system toward Th2 responses. (+info)

Chronic rejection of mouse kidney allografts. (8/919)

BACKGROUND: Chronic renal allograft rejection is the leading cause of late graft failure. However, its pathogenesis has not been defined. METHODS: To explore the pathogenesis of chronic rejection, we studied a mouse model of kidney transplantation and examined the effects of altering the expression of donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens on the development of chronic rejection. RESULTS: We found that long-surviving mouse kidney allografts develop pathological abnormalities that resemble chronic rejection in humans. Furthermore, the absence of MHC class I or class II antigens did not prevent the loss of graft function nor alter the pathological characteristics of chronic rejection. Expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), a pleiotropic cytokine suggested to play a role in chronic rejection, was markedly enhanced in control allografts compared with isografts. However, TGF-beta up-regulation was significantly blunted in MHC-deficient grafts. Nonetheless, these differences in TGF-beta expression did not affect the character of chronic rejection, including intrarenal accumulation of collagens. CONCLUSIONS: Reduced expression of either class I or II direct allorecognition pathways is insufficient to prevent the development of chronic rejection, despite a reduction in the levels of TGF-beta expressed in the allograft. This suggests that the severity of chronic rejection is independent of the level of MHC disparity between donor and recipient and the level of TGF-beta expression within the allograft. (+info)

Pancreatic islet transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes received a major impetus with the development of the Edmonton protocol and recent clinical trials demonstrating long-term insulin independence out beyond 5 years after transplantation ( 1 - 4 ), although encouraging this therapy will always be limited by the relatively small number of organ donors available for islet isolation. (diabetesjournals.org)
The second section of this review briefly describes the necessity for pancreas or islet transplantation to treat severe diabetic complications. (frontiersin.org)
Unawareness of severe hypoglycemia is a primary indicator for pancreas or islet transplantation and is often combined with kidney transplantation to treat renal failure. (frontiersin.org)
EPITA is established to provide a forum for those working in the field of pancreas and islet of Langerhans transplantation or any other alternative form of beta cell replacement in Europe, to exchange scientific information and views related primarily to providing the best service for patients in Europe requiring pancreas or islet transplantation. (esot.org)
The results of the trial show the feasibility and reproducibility of islet transplantation using the Edmonton Protocol and has promising implications for the future of treating type 1 diabetes," says NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. (nih.gov)
Dr. Shapiro and the ITN research team have improved our understanding of the potential of islet transplantation for certain patients with Type 1 diabetes," says NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. "Ongoing studies will further define the clinical utility of this approach. (nih.gov)
This really shows that islet transplantation can be tremendously successful in protecting against hypoglycemic unawareness," says Dr. Shapiro. (nih.gov)
I had my appetite whetted for islet cell transplantation way back in the 1970s, when I did my research training in Denver, Colorado," he told me when I called him at his home in New Zealand from mine in Boulder, Colorado. (mendosa.com)
Even now the clinical trial that Michael Helyer volunteered for is only one of four published human trials of pig islet transplantation, according to Dr. David K.C. Cooper of the Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. (mendosa.com)
She led the development of the King's insulin pump programme and with the King's Liver Transplant Unit and Paediatric Hepatology, started a human islet isolation programme which formed the basis of the first reimbursed program of islet transplantation for hypoglycemia prevention. (insulin100.com)

Cytoreductive conditioning regimens used in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) elicit deficits in innate and adaptive immunity, which predispose patients to infections. (ox.ac.uk)
This is a multi-center prospective rater-masked (blinded) randomized controlled trial of 156 participants, comparing the treatment strategy of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) to the treatment strategy of Best Available Therapy (BAT) for treatment-resistant relapsing multiple sclerosis ( MS ). Participants will be randomized at a 1 to 1 (1:1) ratio. (clinicaltrials.gov)
