Novel non-HLA antibodies and rejection Duska Dragun Nephrology, Charité Campus Mitte, Humboldt University Berlin
Antibody mediated acute rejection • The issue is not trivial, humoral rejection causes 30% of acute rejections and 10% of graft failures Pathogenesis • donor-specific antibodies against HLA class I and class antigens (C 4 d+) • „non-HLA“ antibodies against unknown targets
Subpopulation of patients with „unclear“ rejection • severe pathology: endarteritis or fibrinoid necrosis • 16/16 cases negative for HLA class I and class II DSA • no hereditary or autoimmune thrombophilia • negative serology for autoimmune disorders
Inferior survival in patients with non-HLA antibody rejection Dragun, D. et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 352: 558 -569

Our index case 50 -years old female recipient of the first, zero mismatch “full-house” kidney transplant with primary graft function (creatinine 1. 0 mg/dl at postoperative day 3) develops refractory vascular rejection with BP 240/160 mm Hg. Autoimmune serology is negative; CMV negative No hereditary thrombophilia. Why is this patient rejecting? Interesting detail from patients´medical history: „During my pregnancy, 25 years ago, I also had very high blood pressure and I almost lost my baby. “

Do AT 1 R-AA fulfill Koch´s postulates? 1. The agent (AT 1 -AA) should be present in all cases but not in controls 2. The agent (AT 1 -AA) must be isolated from the cases and studied in cells 3. The agent (AT 1 -AA) transferred into a healthy laboratory animal, should cause the disease 4. The agent should be re-isolated from the experimental disease
