    Abstract Background: Immunosuppression in transplantation continues to be associated with a multitude of adverse effects. Induction of immune tolerance may be a viable strategy to reduce dependence on immunosuppression. Various trials are currently underway to assess the efficacy of this strategy. However, long-term safety data for these immune tolerance regimes has yet to be established.
    Methods/design: At the completion of primary follow-up of various Medeor kidney transplant studies, subjects receiving cellular immunotherapy products will be followed annually as per protocolized schedule for up to an additional 84 months (7 years) to evaluate long-term safety. Long-term safety will be assessed by summarizing incidence of serious adverse events, adverse events leading to study withdrawal and hospitalization rates.
    Discussion: This extension study will be an important step in evaluating safety issues pertaining to immune tolerance regimens, long-term effects of which are largely unknown. These data are essential for furthering an unrealized goal of kidney transplantation- graft longevity without the adverse effects from long-term immunosuppression. The study design utilizes the methodology of a master protocol, wherein multiple therapies can be assessed simultaneously with accompanied gathering of long-term safety data.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to find the association between immediate postoperative increases in pancreatic enzymes and posttransplant complications among pancreas transplant recipients (PTRs).
    Methods: We analyzed all PTRs transplanted at the University of Wisconsin between June 2009 and September 2018. Enzyme levels were presented as a ratio of absolute numbers to the upper limit of normal value, with value >1 considered as abnormal. We specifically evaluated bleeding, fluid collections, and thrombosis complications based on the amylase or lipase ratios on day 1 (Amylase1, Lipase1) and maximum ratios within 5 days of transplant (Amylasemax, Lipasemax). For early complications, we focused on technical complications that occurred within 90 days of transplant. For long-term outcomes, we assessed patient and graft survival, and rejections.
    Results: There were a total of 443 PTRs, 287 were simultaneous pancreas and kidney recipients, and 156 were solitary pancreas recipients. Higher Amylase1, Liplase1, Amylasemax, and Lipasemax were associated with an increase in early complications, mainly need for pancreatectomy, fluid collections, bleeding complications, or graft thrombosis, particularly in the solitary pancreas group.
    Conclusions: Our finding suggests that cases of early perioperative enzyme increase merit consideration for early imaging investigation to mitigate detrimental outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Mixed lymphohematopoietic chimerism is a proven strategy for achieving operational transplant tolerance, though the underlying immunologic mechanisms are incompletely understood.
    Methods: A post-transplant, non-myeloablative, tomotherapy-based total lymphoid (TLI) irradiation protocol combined with anti-thymocyte globulin and T cell co-stimulatory blockade (belatacept) induction was applied to a 3-5 MHC antigen mismatched rhesus macaque kidney and hematopoietic cell transplant model. Mechanistic investigations of early (60 days post-transplant) allogeneic immune modulation induced by mixed chimerism were conducted.
    Results: Chimeric animals demonstrated expansion of circulating and graft-infiltrating CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), as well as increased differentiation of allo-protective CD8+ T cell phenotypes compared to naïve and non-chimeric animals.
    Conclusions: These studies demonstrated that donor immune cell engraftment was associated with early immunomodulation via mechanisms of homeostatic expansion of Tregs and early PD-1 upregulation among CD8+ T effector memory cells. These responses may contribute to TLI-based mixed chimerism-induced allogenic tolerance.

    Abstract Quantity and quality assessment of human pancreatic islets are essential processes to define a safe and potent quality product used for clinical transplantation. The conventional method of manual assessment has been used in the field for longer than two decades. The high degree of variability in product quantity and lack of archival imaging records of the product for verification are two major disadvantages of using the manual method for quantity and quality assessment of human pancreatic islets. Investigators have developed promising new methods for technical improvement. In this study, we briefly review the published methods and highlight the advantages of digital imaging analysis (DIA) when compared to the manual method. The application of DIA reduces measurement variability and increases the precision of islet equivalent (IEQ) determination for batch analysis. It produces images that can be archived for retrospective analysis and validation, and the data can be transmitted electronically for off-site analysis. These features are important for quality pancreatic islet assessment and are consistent with FDA requirements of current good manufacturing practice for clinical islet transplantation.

    Abstract Transplant centers may decline an import pancreas offer based on demographics and laboratory test results, without information on actual gland quality. The relationship between position on the match run, indicative of the number of centers that chose not to use a pancreas, and patient and death-censored graft survival, is not known. We studied all 199 isolated pancreas grafts transplanted at the University of Wisconsin since July 2000 and compared overall patient and death-censored graft survival based on import vs local status. Of the 199 isolated pancreas transplants, 184 (92.5%) were imported from another donor service area with a median match rank of 49 (interquartile range 14-129). Median cold ischemia time was longer for imported pancreata (16.6 vs 13.4 hours, P = .02). In multivariate Cox modeling, there was no association with position on the rank list and patient (P = .44) or death-censored graft survival (P = .99). There was an overall rate of 6.5% of graft failure within 30 days; however, there was no association with position on the rank list and graft failure at 30 days (P = .33). Although the logistics may be challenging, sound judgment to accept offers independent of prior centers' decisions can result in quality utilization of imported pancreata.
