Genetic interactions between the donor and the recipient for susceptibility to acute rejection in kidney transplantation: polymorphisms of CCR5 (2009)

Cha, Ran-hui, Yang, Seung Hee, Kim, Hyo Sang, Kim, Sun Moon, Park, Myoung Hee, Ha, Jongwon, ...

Background. Acute rejection (AR) contributes to the development of chronic allograft nephropathy that is the major cause of graft failure. We analyzed the 59029G>A polymorphism and an internal 32 bp...

Moderate-to-severe early-onset hyperuricaemia: a prognostic marker of long-term kidney transplant outcome (2009)

Min, Sang Il, Yun, Ik Jin, Kang, Jin Mo, Park, Yang Jin, Min, Seung Kee, Ahn, Curie, ...

Background. Hyperuricaemia commonly occurs in renal transplant recipients (RTRs), but the effects of post-transplant hyperuricaemia on kidney transplant outcome have not been clearly established....

Asialo GM1+ CD8+ T cells play a critical role in costimulation blockade–resistant allograft rejection

Trambley, Joel, Bingaman, Adam W., Lin, Angello, Elwood, Eric T., Waitze, Seung-Yeun, Ha, Jongwon, ...

Simultaneous blockade of the CD40 and CD28 costimulatory pathways is an effective treatment strategy to promote allograft acceptance but does not lead to indefinite allograft survival. The immune...

Limited Feasibility in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Using Currently Available Graft in Korea

Bae, Taeseok, Lee, Taeseung, Jung, In Mok, Ha, Jongwon, Chung, Jung Kee, Kim, Sang Joon

Despite the wide acceptance of endovascular aneurysmal repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR), stringent morphologic criteria recommended by manufacturers may preclude this...

Kidney Transplantation in Sensitized Recipients; A Single Center Experience

Kim, Sun Moon, Lee, Chungsik, Lee, Jung Pyo, Kim, Eun Man, Ha, Jongwon, Kim, Sang Joon, ...

A successful transplantation, across a positive crossmatch barrier, is one of the most persistent long-standing problems in the field of kidney transplant medicine. The aim of this study was to...

IL-2 Pathway Blocking in Combination with Anti-CD154 Synergistically Establishes Mixed Macrochimerism with Limited Dose of Bone Marrow Cells and Prolongs Skin Graft Survival in Mice

Lee, Jeong-hoon, Ha, Jongwon, Kim, Shi-hwa, Kim, Sang Joon

To facilitate the establishment of mixed chimerism with limited dose of bone marrow (BM) cells, and to achieve tolerance in skin graft model, combined blocking of costimulatory pathway and IL-2...

Sequential evolution of IL-17 responses in the early period of allograft rejection

Min, Sang Il, Ha, Jongwon, Park, Chung-Gyu, Won, Jae Kyung, Park, Yang Jin, Min, Seung-Kee, ...

In addition to CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells which protect against autoimmune tissue injury, IL-17-producing CD4+ T (Th17) cells have been recently described and shown to play a crucial...
