    Abstract Luminex single antigen bead (SAB) kits from One Lambda (OL) and Lifecodes (LC) are widely used for HLA antibody detection but have substantial differences in design and assay protocol resulting in different mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) values. Here, we present a non-linear modeling approach to accurately convert MFI values between two vendors and to establish user-independent MFI cutoffs when analyzing big datasets. HLA antibody data from a total of 47 EDTA-treated sera tested using both OL and LC SAB kits were analyzed. MFI comparisons were made for the common 84 HLA class I and 63 class II beads. In the exploration set (n = 24), a non-linear hyperbola model on raw MFI corrected by locus-specific highest self MFI subtraction yielded the highest correlation (class I r

    Abstract In solid organ transplantation, formation of de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies is induced by mismatched eplets on donor HLA molecules. While several studies have shown a strong correlation between the number of eplet mismatches and inferior outcomes, not every eplet mismatch is immunogenic. Eplets are theoretically defined entities, necessitating formal proof that they can be recognised and bound by antibodies. This antibody verification is pivotal to ensure that clinically relevant eplets are considered in studies on molecular matching. Recombinant human HLA-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were generated from HLA-reactive B cell clones isolated from HLA immunised individuals using recombinant HLA molecules. Subsequently, the reactivity patterns of the mAbs obtained from single antigen bead assay were analysed using HLA-EMMA software to identify single or configurations of solvent accessible amino acids uniquely present on the reactive HLA alleles and were mapped to eplets. Two HLA class I and seven HLA class II-specific human mAbs were generated from four individuals. Extensive mAb reactivity analysis, led to antibody verification of three HLA-DR-specific eplets, and conversion of five eplets (one HLA-A, one HLA-B, two HLA-DR, and one HLA-DP), from provisionally verified to truly antibody-verified. Finally, one HLA-DQ-specific eplet was upgraded from level A2 to level A1 verification evidence. The generation of recombinant human HLA-specific mAbs with different specificities contributes significantly to the antibody verification of eplets and therefore is instrumental for implementation of eplet matching in the clinical setting.

    Abstract Recently, the randomized phase-II Triton study demonstrated that mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy facilitated early tacrolimus withdrawal in living donor kidney transplant recipients. The current sub-study analyzed formation of de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSA) in the context of the degree of HLA eplet mismatches. At the time of protocol biopsy at 6 months, 7/29 patients (24%) in the MSC group and 1/27 patient (3.7%) in the control group had developed dnDSA. In the MSC group, all dnDSA were anti-HLA-DQ; two patients had anti-DQ alone and five patients combined with anti-class I, HLA-DR or -DP. Despite excess dnDSA formation in the MSC-arm of the study, the evolution of eGFR (CKD-EPI) and proteinuria were comparable 2 years posttransplant. All dnDSA were complement-binding and three patients had antibody-mediated rejection in the protocol biopsy, but overall rejection episodes were not increased. Everolimus had to be discontinued in nine patients because of toxicity, and tacrolimus was reintroduced in six patients because of dnDSA formation. The HLA-DQ eplet mismatch load independently associated with dnDSA (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.07 per eplet mismatch, p = 0.008). A threshold of ≥11 HLA-DQ eplet mismatches predicted subsequent dnDSA in all 11 patients in the MSC group, but specificity was low (44%). Further research is warranted to explore HLA molecular mismatch load as a biomarker to guide personalized maintenance immunosuppression in kidney transplantation.
