Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There has been no effective predicting tool to accurately predict BKV reactivation after kidney transplantation. The aim is to elucidate the use of flow cytometric analysis for both intracellular cytokines and surface activation markers for BKV-specific T cell response in kidney transplant recipients.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Every kidney transplant recipient will be tested for BKV-specific immune response after transplantation to identify the potential immune predicting tool for developing BKV reactivation.
Primary Study Purpose

SCREENING

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

BKV immune monitoring

1. In this prospective cohort, the included kidney transplant recipients will receive regular post-transplantation care, including routine therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus and screening for BK viremia. No extra medications beyond the standard of care will be given to the patients in this study.
2. Whole blood will be drawn from kidney transplant recipients on day 30, day 180, and at the time of BK viremia. PBMCs will be separated and incubated with BK viral peptides.
3. PBMCs will be stained for surface marker of activated T cells and intracellular cytokines 4. Phenotypic features of T cells will be analyzed under flow cytometry and correlated with the occurrence of BKV infection and immunosuppressive medications.
