Riquelme P, Amodio G, Macedo C, et al. Transplantation. 2017 ;101(11):2731-2738. Cellular therapy using human regulatory macrophages (Mregs) to promote immune regulation is under evaluation in early phase clinical trials in kidney transplantation. In this study, the authors aimed to define a novel positive markers of human Mregs. A series of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) was generated by vaccinating mice with human Mreg lysates. A mAb clone (ASOT1) was found to react strongly with Mregs; immunoprecipitation and MALDI-MS sequencing identified dehydrogenase/reductase 9 (DHRS9) as the antigen. DHRS9 appeared as a promising specific and stable marker of human Mregs discriminating human Mregs from a panel of in vitro- derived macrophages in other polarization states. | | | | Webinar Announcement

Overview: The demand for kidney transplantation continues to rise inexorably as its life-saving and life-enhancing benefits are strongly established. The supply of kidneys remains sorely inadequate both in quantity and, very importantly, quality. These two factors combine to exert tremendous pressure to accomplish transplantation by aggressively utilizing all available deceased donor organs. This webinar will consider donor, recipient, transplant, and other relevant factors, as well as their potential interplay, that enter into the critical decision of whether to transplant or not to transplant. | |
