 Capsule Summaries

BENEFIT: 3-Year Data Confirm High Rate of Patient and Graft Survival With Belatacept Maintenance Immunosuppression, With Improved Renal Function vs Cyclosporine
BENEFIT and BENEFIT-EXT: Pooled Safety Data Through 3 Years Reveal No New Safety Signals Associated With Belatacept Costimulation Blockade
Preliminary Results Suggest That Alemtuzumab Induction Followed by Belatacept and Sirolimus Maintenance Prevents Renal Allograft Rejection and Alloantibody Formation
Alefacept-Based Regimens Significantly Reduce T-Cell Memory Subsets but Associated With Increased Rejection Rates vs Control Regimen in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Tofacitinib-Based Regimen as Effective at Preventing Acute Rejection of Kidney Transplant and Better Preserves Renal Function vs Cyclosporine-Based Regimen
Tofacitinib-Based Regimen Better Preserves Renal Function Than Cyclosporine-Based Regimen in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Total Lymphoid Irradiation, Antithymocyte Globulin, and Donor Hematopoietic Cell Infusion Safely and Successfully Induces Tolerance After HLA-Matched Kidney Transplant
mRNA Expression Profiles of Urinary Cells Correlate With and Predict Development of ACR in Renal Allograft Recipients
Favorable Graft and Patient Survival Among HIV-Infected Patients Who Received Kidney Transplant Regardless of Use of NIH Study Protocol or Center Experience
HIV-Related Factors Such as HIV-1 RNA and CD4+ Cell Count Not Associated With Survival After Kidney or Liver Transplantation in HIV-Infected Individuals
Proteasome Inhibitor–Based Therapy Provides Effective Reversal of Antibody-Mediated Rejection in Kidney Transplantation
Vascular Endothelial Cell Biomarkers Accurately Diagnose Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Heart Transplant Recipients
Virtual Cross-Matching of Sensitized Recipients in Need of Isolated Intestinal Transplant Yields Rejection and Survival Outcomes Comparable to Nonsensitized Recipients
Animal Studies Suggest That Blocking T-Cell Adhesion Pathways in Addition to Costimulation Pathways May Help Overcome Costimulation Blockade-Resistant Rejection
