Kidney Week

Basic/Clinical Science Session

Novel Immune Modulators of Allograft Rejection

November 06, 2025 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM

Location: Grand Ballroom C, Convention Center

Session Description

During allogeneic kidney transplantation, immune cells infiltrate renal allografts and promote both T cell-mediated and antibody-mediated rejection. This session explores novel mechanisms that control immune cell behavior in renal allografts and therefore influence both T cell-mediated and antibody-mediated rejection.

Learning Objective(s)

• Explain how the stromal cell landscape changes during rejection of renal allografts
• Explain how glycans influence innate and adaptive immunity
• Define the role of glycoproteins in kidney transplantation
• Describe novel approaches to the study of specific antibody glycosylation and its functional effects

Learning Pathway(s)

• Kidney Transplantation
