Peripheral blood manipulation significantly affects the result of dendritic cell monitoring.
Jeroen H. Gerrits,P Athanassopoulos,Lenard M.B. Vaessen,Mariska Klepper,Willem Weimar,Nicole M. van Besouw +5 more
TL;DR: The pDC/mDC ratio and pDC or mDC maturation status based on CKR expression, is dependent on manipulation of PBMCs, and fresh blood is preferable for monitoring purposes in transplant patients, as only these cells reflect the in vivo immune-status of patients accurately.

Altered chemokine receptor profile on circulating leukocytes in human heart failure
P Athanassopoulos,Leonard M.B. Vaessen,Aggie H.M.M. Balk,Willem Weimar,Hari S. Sharma,Ad J.J.C. Bogers +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the altered expression profile of CC- and CXC-chemokine receptors on circulating leukocyte populations involves enhanced activation of the immune system, perhaps as part of the pathogenic mechanisms in HF.

Intravascular ultrasound evidence for stabilization of compensatory enlargement of the femoropopliteal segment after endograft placement.
Tjebbe Hagenaars,Elma J. Gussenhoven,P Athanassopoulos,Peter M. T. Pattynama,Marc R.H.M. van Sambeek +4 more
TL;DR: The PTFE endograft seems to inhibit both intimal hyperplasia and constrictive remodeling, and acts as an “ideal” end-to-end anastomosis.

Preferential depletion of myeloid type peripheral blood dendritic cells during acute rejection of human heart allografts
P Athanassopoulos,Leonard M.B. Vaessen,Aggie H.M.M. Balk,Alexander P.W.M. Maat,Ad J.J.C. Bogers,Willem Weimar +5 more
TL;DR: Achieving and maintaining target C2 levels after LTX is associated withLow rates of AR, low rates of BOS and short-term survival rates equivalent to the best recorded in other solid organ transplant recipients.
