Mechanisms of hamster kidney graft rejection in the rat.

چکیده
H AMSTER-to-rat transplantation has been widely used to study xenotransplantation between the relatively closely related species. Recently, we developed the surgical procedure for kidney transplantation in this species combination. This study describes mechanisms of hamster kidney graft rejection in the rat and the effect of different treatment protocols, including FK 506, cyclophosphamide, and hamster organ perfusion, on graft survival.

Methods: In two groups of patients, each of 45 cases group A received conventional drugs (cyclosporine, mycophenolate and prednisolone) a...
متن کاملXenogeneic humoral graft-Vs-host disease following hamster-to-Rat bone marrow transplantation.
BONE marrow transplantation (BMT) is an effective strategy to induce tolerance across xenogeneic barriers.l This approach has been used in the hamster-to-rat BMT model.2 However, all animals suffered from graft-vshost disease (GVHD). Although xenogeneic GVHD has been observed in other studies, it is not yet well characterized.3 Because xenograft rejection is primarily mediated by humoral mechan...
متن کاملUrinary reflux to the non-functioning previous renal graft
Nuclear medicine imaging is routinely used for evaluation of perfusion and function of the transplanted kidneys. At present, the radiopharmaceutical of choice for this study in our center is Tc 99m-Ec. Complications of the kidney graft are demonstrable in the early and delayed images. One of these complications is vesicoureteral reflux to the graft or to the native kidneys. We present a 27 year...
متن کاملCan the kidney volume help to differentiate the types of rejection before biopsy?
Background: The aim of this study was to use the volume of the graft as an adjunct tool for better decision making. Methods: Kidney transplanted patients with acute azotemia and documented volume and finally a biopsy were enrolled in this study. Graft volumes between rejected patients (antibody-mediated rejection {AMR} and cell - mediated rejection {CMR}) and non rejected but azotemic patien...
