The occurrence of acute antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is higher in flow cytometric crossmatch (FCXM)-positive patients despite desensitization. Accumulating evidence suggests a correlation between the complement-binding ability of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) and the risk of ABMR. Here, we investigated the correlation between complement C3d-fixing ability of preformed DSA and ABMR risk, the efficacy of a desensitization protocol for patients with C3d-fixing DSA, and the risk of ABMR in 21 DSA- and FCXM-positive patients. We retrospectively analyzed the C3d-fixing ability and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of preformed DSA before and after desensitization. Six patients had non-C3d-fixing DSA and 15 had C3d-fixing DSA. The presence of C3d-fixing DSA before desensitization was correlated with the incidence of acute ABMR within 1 year after transplantation (p = .04) and chronic ABMR (p = .03). Moreover, the MFI of preformed DSA differed between responder and non-responder C3d-fixing DSA after desensitization (p < .0001). The C3d-fixing ability of preformed DSA with low MFI disappeared after desensitization. These results indicate that measuring DSA C3d-fixing ability may identify patients with a high risk of ABMR, especially before desensitization.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D003167 Complement Activation The sequential activation of serum COMPLEMENT PROTEINS to create the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX. Factors initiating complement activation include ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEXES, microbial ANTIGENS, or cell surface POLYSACCHARIDES. Activation, Complement,Activations, Complement,Complement Activations
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D006650 Histocompatibility Testing Identification of the major histocompatibility antigens of transplant DONORS and potential recipients, usually by serological tests. Donor and recipient pairs should be of identical ABO blood group, and in addition should be matched as closely as possible for HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in order to minimize the likelihood of allograft rejection.
