Transplant
• Definitii– Autogrefa: transfer de tesuturi de la – la
acelasi organism (piele)– Singenic (isogrefa): transplant intre gemeni
identici (univitelini)– Allogrefa: transplant intre indivizi diferiti ai
aceleiasi specii– Xenogrefa: transplant de la o specie la alta

Compatibilitate de Transplant
• Pentru a creste sansa de supravietuire a transplantului:– Cel mai important: compatibilitate ABO– Absenta Ac citotoxici preformati impotriva
Ag HLA ale donatorului– Compatibilitate HLA, in particular pentru
locii D
![Page 4: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Disorders of MHCMajor Histocompatibility Complex
• Transplantation workups– Transplant recipient must be blood group antigen (ABO)
compatible with the donor and not have any preformed anti-HLA (cytotoxic) antibodies in the blood
• Compatibility in both areas prevents hyperacute transplantation reactions
• Normally, these antibodies should not be present unless the recipient has had a blood transfusion in the past or has been pregnant and had a fetal-maternal bleed during delivery and been exposed to paternal antigens on the fetal cells

HLA
• Determines the fate of transplantation.
• Plays a role in the control of cellular interactions resposible for both cellular and humoral immune responses.
• Is associated with a variety of diseases.

Disorders of MHCMajor Histocompatibility Complex
• Lymphocyte crossmatch– Used to screen recipient serum for anti-HLA
antibodies• Recipient’s serum, complement and donor B lymphocytes
are mixed together in a test tube. Lysis of donor lymphocytes is indicative of cytotoxic antibodies in the recipient’s serum directed against donor lymphocytes
• The identity of these antibodies must then be determined in order to find a suitable donor who is negative for the corresponding HLA antigen(s).

Types of Transplants
• Corneal– Best graft survival rate since the cornea is
avascular and the lymphatic drainage from the eye is not as well developed as in other tissues
– Associated with transmission of prions-Creukfeld-Jacob disease-Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy; also has been associated with amoebic transmission (granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
![Page 26: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Types of Transplants
• Renal– Between living donors with a 2 haplotype match = 90-
95% 5 year survival
– With a 1 haplotype match = 80% 5 year survival
– Cadaver transplants between unrelated donors is the most common type of transplantation. Similar statistics to 1 haplotype match when the recipient receives multiple blood transfusions prior to the surgery (induces tolerance to the allograft) and is placed on immunosuppressive therapy
![Page 27: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Types of Transplants
• Liver – In adults with chronic active hepatitis or
cirrhosis– In children with biliary atresia– 1 year survival rate is slightly greater than 90%
![Page 28: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Types of Transplants
• Cardiac transplantation– In adults, used in patients with chronic ischemic
heart disease and congestive cardiomyopathy– In children, endocardial fibroelastosis is the
usual indication– Endomyocardial biopsies are the best means of
diagnosing allograft rejection– Approximately 80% of transplants survive 1 year
![Page 29: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Types of Transplants
• Bone marrow transplants– Used in the treatment of aplastic anemia, leukemia
and immunodeficiencies– Goal is to infuse donor marrow containing
pluripotential hematopoietic stem cells that will eventually repopulate the lymphoid, erythroid, myeloid, and megakaryocytic series in the recipient.
– GVH occurs in almost 2/3rds of cases– Increased incidence of CMV pneumonitis
![Page 30: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Transplant Rejection
• The chance of a sibling in a family having another sibling with 0, 1, or 2 haplotype match is:– 25% - 0 haplotype match– 25% - 2 haplotype match– 50% - 1 haplotype match– However, a 2 haplotype match is rarely achieved due to
crossovers between the individual loci during meiosis when homologous chromosomes line up close to each other
![Page 31: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Transplant Rejection
• Three types of transplant rejections
– Hyperacute rejection
– Acute rejection
– Chronic rejection
![Page 32: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Transplant Rejection
• Hyperacute rejection:– occurs within minutes of attaching the allograft to the
recipient’s blood supply– Due to the presence of an ABO mismatch or preformed
cytotoxic antibodies in the host against foreign HLA antigens in the donor tissue (example; a blood group A recipient would have anti-B IgM antibodies and would react against a group B donor heart)
• Hyperacute rejection is rare because ABO and anti-HLA cytotoxic antibody screening is performed prior to the surgery
![Page 33: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Transplant Rejection
• Acute rejection– Most common type of rejection encountered– Usually occurs within the first 3 months of the transplantation– Involves cell-mediated and antibody-mediated reactions.
Cell-mediated has the greatest role in rejection– The type II antibody-mediated hypersensitivity produces a
necrotizing vasculitis with subsequent vessel damage and intravascular thrombosis
![Page 34: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Transplant Rejection
• Acute rejection– Vessel events can occur over a period of time
leading to fibrosis and vessel lumen obliteration
– The cell-mediated component involves cytotoxic T cells producing extensive interstitial infiltrate in the graft with edema and damage to the tissue (Type IV hypersensitivity)
– Can be reversible with immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A, corticosteroids, and OKT3.
![Page 35: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Transplant Rejection
• Chronic rejection– Irreversible– Occur over a period of months to years– Extensive fibrosis and loss of organ structure
characterize the histologic findings in the transplant– Activated macrophages release growth factors that
stimulate fibroblasts to deposit collagen– There is also chronic ischemia secondary to antibody-
mediated damage to the vessels
![Page 37: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Type IV Hypersensitivity– Cytotoxic T cells interact with class I antigens on nucleated cells– If the antigens are altered (virally infected cells, neoplastic cells) or the cell is
foreign to the host (transplant), the cytotoxic T cells will attach to the cell membrane, release perforins and destroy the cell.
• Examples: Acute and chronic transplant rejections; destruction of hepatocytes infected by hepatitis B virus
![Page 38: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Transplant Rejection
• Cyclosporin A inhibits CD4 helper T cell release of interleukin-2 (blocks calcineurin) which stimulates the proliferation of cytotoxic and helper T cells
• Corticosteroids inhibit macrophage production of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor and are cytotoxic to immature cortical derived thymocytes
• OKT3 is a monoclonal antibody preparation that attaches to the CD3 antigen receptor of T cells, blocking their reaction with the graft
![Page 40: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Graft versus Host Reactions
• Potential complication in bone marrow and liver transplants and in blood transfusions administered to patients with T cell immunodeficiency
• Donor lymphocytes produce interleukin-2 • -->activation of NK cells (primary effector cells in
acute GVH reactions)-->lymphokine-activated NK cells are called LAKs and produce extensive epithelial cell necrosis in the biliary tract (jaundice), skin (maculopapular rash), and GI tract (diarrhea)
![Page 42: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Graft versus Host Reactions
• May progress into chronic GVH which is marked by the presence of extensive fibrosis
• To lessen the risk of GVH, donor tissue is pretreated with anti-thymocyte globulin to remove donor T cells.
• Cyclosporin A is used also
![Page 43: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Transplant complications
• Immunosuppressive therapy has increased the incidence of:– Cervical cancer– Malignant lymphomas (immunoblastic)– Basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin
• Squamous cell CA is the most common overall malignancy
• Other complications include infection and bone marrow suppression

Disorders of MHCMajor Histocompatibility Complex
• Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR)– Utilized to test for class II antigen (D loci)
match between the recipient and donor– Functional lymphocytes from the recipient and
previously irradiated (killed) donor lymphocytes are mixed together in a test tube with tritiated thymidine.
– A baseline radioactive count is obtained before the donor lymphocytes are added to the tube.
![Page 60: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Disorders of MHCMajor Histocompatibility Complex
• Mixed Lymphocyte reaction (MLR)– If the recipient’s lymphocytes have different D
antigens than those located on the donor lymphocytes, they become activated which increases the radioactive count in the test tube over the baseline reading
– This reaction evaluates the potential for recipient rejection of the donor graft, but does not provide information on whether the graft will reject the host
![Page 61: Imun-transplant-rom8](https://reader034.vdocumente.com/reader034/viewer/2022042713/54717acbb4af9f9b3e8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Disorders of MHCMajor Histocompatibility Complex
• Mixed lymphocyte Reaction (MLR)– A modified test to evaluate the risk of a GVH
reaction is to irradiate (kill) the recipient’s lymphocytes and to allow the functional donor lymphocytes an opportunity to react against the host’s HLA D loci
