Advances in immunosuppressive drug therapy have contributed greatly to the success of solid organ transplantation. Unfortunately, improvements in short-term outcomes as a result of advances in immunosuppressive protocols have yet translated into greater long-term graft survival. Graft survival half-life, a measure of long-term outcome in kidney transplantation, has changed only...

Cytomegalovirus disease (CMV) adversely affects short and long term outcomes following transplantation of allogeneic kidneys, hearts, lungs and livers. Disease prevention strategies, including prophylactic treatment with gancyclovir and related antiviral agents, are routinely implemented in seronegative recipients of organs from seropositive donors (D+/R-). CMV...

The trend to minimize the use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) and corticosteroids (CSs) has contributed to an increase in the use of antibody induction therapy in kidney and liver transplantation. Significant comorbid conditions associated with historical maintenance immunosuppressive regimens consisting of CNIs and CSs have resulted in a paradigm shift in clinical practice....

Significant toxicity associated with lifelong maintenance on immunosuppressive therapy continues to fuel the investigation of tolerance-inducing strategies in solid organ transplantation. One approach to achieve tolerance is focused on regulatory T cells. Regulatory T cells (T reg) are a population of antigen-specific T lymphocytes that have been shown...
