Quantification of Torque Teno Virus Load to Monitor Short-term Changes in Immunosuppressive Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Quantification of torque teno virus (TTV) has been proposed as a surrogate parameter to monitor immunocompetence in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) early after transplantation. However, its use in monitoring short-term changes of immunosuppression in KTRs late after transplantation requires further investigation.
Modeling the Effects of IL-1β-mediated Inflammation During Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Using a Split Human Donor Model
The association between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentrations during ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) with donor organ quality and post-lung transplant outcome has been demonstrated in several studies. The mechanism underlying IL-1β-mediated donor lung injury was investigated using a paired single-lung EVLP model.
