Brief Summary:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been associated with an increased risk of bacterial, fungal and viral infections in solid organ transplant recipients. The purpose of this study to evaluate if the occurrence of CMV viremia modify the ability to develop optimal immune responses against other pathogens in kidney transplant recipients (heterologous immunity). The objective of this project is to identify the immune pathways affected by CMV in the context of immunosuppression associated with kidney transplantation.
Detailed Description:
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection remains one of the most frequent and problematic complications of solid organ transplantation. Several epidemiological studies have shown an association between CMV infection and the occurrence of severe bacterial or fungal infections. However, the mechanisms by which CMV increases the risk of heterologous infection are still poorly understood. Several data support a direct or indirect immunomodulatory effect of CMV. Indeed, in healthy subjects, CMV seropositivity has a strong phenotypic and functional impact on adaptive immunity while in solid organ transplant patients, a decrease in the innate response to various antigenic stimuli has been observed during CMV viremia. The hypothesis of the study is that the occurrence of CMV viremia reduces the ability to develop optimal immune responses against other targeted pathogens in kidney transplant recipients (heterologous immunity). The objective of this project is to identify the immune pathways affected by CMV in the context of immunosuppression associated with kidney transplantation.
