Failure of B-cold lymphocytotoxins to enhance cadaveric renal allograft survival. 1985

R Mendez, and S N Chatterjee, and R Mendez, and T Bogaard

In a three-year period between January 1980 and December 1982, 242 consecutive cadaver transplant recipients in one center were tested before transplantation by cytotoxicity against a random panel of T and B lymphocytes at 5 degrees C and 37 degrees C incubation. They were also tested for HLA-A, B, and DR antigens. Kidney transplants were carried out with the primary objective of achieving a two-DR match. Kidney transplants were carried out only in the absence of T-warm positive cross-matches. All patients were followed for a minimum period of one year after transplant. There have been no exclusions, and all causes of failure, including death, have been counted as graft losses. Patients were stratified according to HLA-A, B, and DR matches and were also divided into high-antibody and low-antibody groups. The recipients with no antibodies had the best one-year graft survival (66%). Recipients with B-cold antibodies did not have enhanced one-year graft survival (51%). Recipients with B-warm antibodies did indifferently (56%). The worst results were seen in recipients who had pretransplant T-warm antibodies (42%) though the number of patients in this group was small.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D006684 HLA-DR Antigens A subclass of HLA-D antigens that consist of alpha and beta chains. The inheritance of HLA-DR antigens differs from that of the HLA-DQ ANTIGENS and HLA-DP ANTIGENS. HLA-DR,Antigens, HLA-DR,HLA DR Antigens

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
