Detection of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies with flow cytometry in eluates and sera from renal transplant recipients with chronic allograft nephropathy1

Abstract: This study shows that testing for anti-HLA DSA in eluates from removed kidney transplants using flow cytometry can be achieved and is highly efficient. It already suggests that both anti-class I and anti-class II HLA antibodies can be involved in CAN. Further studies are now needed to evaluate the possibility of identifying such antibodies in the eluates of transplant biopsy specimens from recipients experiencing CAN.

“…The potential mechanisms supporting this observation warrant further study but would be consistent with increases in measurable alloimmune activity. [22][23][24][25] These data are difficult to interpret conclusively, because the reason for nephrectomy is not known, and we cannot surmise that avoiding nephrectomy would abrogate this risk. These observations must be weighed against the potential survival benefits that have been reported with other studies of allograft nephrectomy.…”

“…Nephrectomy can result in an increase in PRA [22][23][24][25] as well as negatively affect subsequent graft survival. 26 Therefore, we specifically examined the effect of RMM in patients with and without nephrectomy of the first allograft occurring before the second transplant and found that class 2 RMM carried increased hazard for DCGL and ACGL, specifically in patients who were nephrectomized.…”

“…Overall, the sensitivity of the DbA peptide is encouraging, taking into account: (i) the long time of storage of the FMAIT samples and the destructive effect that this may have had on HPA-1a antibody potency; (ii) that some cases had weakly positive results by MAIPA at the time of referral; and (iii) that the sensitivity may be enhanced by applying the DbA peptides on a fourth-generation assay platform, like the Luminex bead assay, and going through a program of optimization for routine diagnostic use in a clinical setting [34].…”

“…Antibodies can be eluted from Ͼ70% of rejected kidneys, whereas the sera of patients before rejection may be positive in only approximately 45% of patients (25). This suggests that the antibodies could go undetected in the serum, probably because the kidney is absorbing the antibodies (26).…”
