Development of Elisa-Detected Anti-Hla Antibodies Precedes the Development of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome and Correlates With Progressive Decline in Pulmonary Function After Lung Transplantation1

Abstract: Our study indicates that anti-HLA class I antibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of BOS and that monitoring of anti-HLA class I antibody development by a highly sensitive assay such as the PRA-STAT ELISA after LT can provide an early identification of an important subset of LT patients with an increased risk of developing BOS.

“…Previous studies suggested a role for HLA antibodies after lung transplantation. [5][6][7][8]22,23 Girnita et al found that HLA antibodies are associated with increased frequency and more severe acute rejections after lung transplant, 5 as well as increased incidence of BOS. 6 Their studies had small patient cohorts and, although they used solid-phase antibody assays for HLA antibody detection, they were enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA)-based and, as such, probably underestimated the level of HLA antibody production.…”

“…For instance, increased post transplantation ventilator days, decreased survival and/or a higher incidence of BOOP were observed in patients with PRAs (8,9). Many studies have closely linked HLA antibodies to humoral allograft rejection (7,10).…”

“…As outlined by Pelletier et al (7)(8)(9)(10), a commercially available pool of microparticle beads coated with various purified MHC antigens of known specificity were used according to manufacturer's instructions (FlowPRA, OneLambda, Canoga Park, CA). Briefly, 20 lL of recipient sera was incubated with 5 lL of MHC Class I plus 5 lL of MHC Class II microparticle beads for 30 min at room temperature (RT).…”

“…Elicitation of immune responses to the mismatched donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and breakdown of tolerance to tissue-restricted self-antigens pose a significant challenge to acceptance and continued graft function following organ transplantation (67,68). While the mechanisms of AMR are not firmly established, de novo donor-specific antibodies against HLA have been shown to predispose to the development of immune responses to lung self-antigens and BOS (69)(70)(71). To define mechanisms leading to anti-MHC-mediated development of rejection, a preclinical murine model was developed in which exogenous anti-MHC was administered into the native lungs and elicited production of antibodies and T cell responses specific for lung-associated self-antigens, type V collagen [col(V)], and K-α 1 tubulin, culminating in fibrotic pathology (72,73).…”
