Parsons R, Yu M, Vivek K, Zekavat G, Rostami S, Ziaie A, et al.
Transplantation . 2012 Jan; 93(7):676-85. PMID: 22262127
Background: Immunologic rejection is a major barrier to successful long-term outcomes in clinical transplantation. The importance of B lymphocytes-and their secretory products, alloantibodies-in the pathogenesis of allograft rejection is accepted....

Parsons R, Vivek K, Rostami S, Zekavat G, Ziaie S, Luo Y, et al.
J Immunol . 2010 Nov; 186(1):614-20. PMID: 21084661
A major obstacle to transplantation tolerance is humoral immunity. In this paper, we demonstrate that the intrinsic developmental propensity of the B lymphocyte compartment for acquisition of self-tolerance can be...

Zekavat G, Mozaffari R, Arias V, Rostami S, Badkerhanian A, Tenner A, et al.
Immunogenetics . 2010 Apr; 62(6):397-407. PMID: 20387063
In the present study, we characterize a polymorphism in the CD93 molecule, originally identified as the receptor for the C1q complement component (i.e., C1qRp, or AA4.1) in non-obese diabetic (NOD)...

Zekavat G, Rostami S, Badkerhanian A, Parsons R, Koeberlein B, Yu M, et al.
J Immunol . 2008 Nov; 181(11):8133-44. PMID: 19018006
B lymphocytes are required for the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. Previous studies established that a lymphopenic transitional (TR) B cell compartment reduces the competitive constraint on the...

Noorchashm H, Reed A, Rostami S, Mozaffari R, Zekavat G, Koeberlein B, et al.
J Immunol . 2006 Nov; 177(11):7715-22. PMID: 17114442
Acute allograft rejection requires the activation of alloreactive CD4 T cells. Despite the capacity of B cells to act as potent APCs capable of activating CD4 T cells in vivo,...

Brodfuehrer P, Tapyrik L, Pietras N, Zekavat G, Convery M
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol . 2006 Mar; 192(8):817-25. PMID: 16547710
In this study we examined whether the foraging for artificial blood affected the behavioral responsiveness of leeches to electrical stimulation of the body wall. After foraging for artificial blood, electrical...
