Presentation Transcript

  1. First Movement Practicale: Fine-tuning the Instrumentof Epitope-Based Histocompatibility Rene Duquesnoy University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

  2. Lecture Outline • Immunogenicity and antigenicity of epitopes • CDRs and antigen-antibody interactions • HLAMatchmaker analysis of antibody reactivity with Luminex single allele panels • Commonly recognized class II epitopes • Epitope immunogenicity • HLAMatchmaker and platelet transfusions

  3. Identification of Structurally Defined HLA Epitopes • Empirical approach • Look for correlations between antibody reactivity patterns and the presence of distinct polymorphic amino acid residues in different sequence positions on reactive alleles • Conduct absorption/elution of sera with selected alleles • HLAMatchmaker • Epitope structure is based on three-dimensional modeling of different antigen-antibody complexes, molecular contact points between epitope and paratope and the contribution of important residues to epitope functionality • Consider the immunogenetic relationship between antibody producer and immunizer: concept of immunogenicity versus antigenicity • Determine if the antibody reactivity patterns correspond to HLAMatchmaker-predicted epitope mismatches

  4. Important Consideration Differentiate between Immunogenicity of epitopes (induction of specific antibodies)  and Antigenicity of epitopes (reactivity with antibodies)

  5. HLA Mismatch Immunogenicity • Mismatched HLA antigens have different epitope loads • HLA epitopes have different degrees of immunogenicity A better understanding of HLA immunogenicity will permit a permissible mismatch strategy for non-sensitized transplant patients

  6. Antigenicity • Reactivity of epitopes with specific antibodies • Serum screening methods • Complement-dependent lymphocytotoxicity: CDC, AHG • Antigen-binding assays: Elisa, Flow cytometry, Luminex with single antigens • Technique-dependent antibody reactivity

  7. How Do Antibodies React with Antigens?

  8. Six Complementarity-Determining Regions of the Antibody Combining Site • CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3, CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 represent the “binding face” or “paratope” which contacts the structural epitope comprising 15-25 amino acids

  9. Crystal Structure of HLA-A1-MAGE-A1 Complex with Fab-Hyb3 Hulsmeyer et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2005. 280: 2972-2980, 2005

  10. T-Cell Receptor-HLA Complex TCR a b HLA

  11. Six Complementarity-Determining Regions of the Antibody Combining Site • CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3, CDR-L1, CDR-L2 and CDR-L3 represent the “binding face” or “paratope” which contacts the structural epitope comprising 15-25 amino acids • The antibody specificity is often determined by a centrally located loop (CDR-H3) that binds to the functional epitope a configuration of 3-6 amino acids in the structural epitope • Eplets may define these functional epitopes • Other CDRs serve as contact sites to stabilize binding to antigen (they play a role in the affinity of antibody)

  12. Noncovalent Forces in Antigen-Antibody Complexing

  13. The Reaction between Antibody and Antigen Depends on the Binding Force

  14. Complementarity Determining Regions

  39. Emerging Concepts • The HLA antibody specificity site consists of a cluster of few polymorphic amino acids on the molecular surface • This site would be contacted by CDR-H3 • Antibody reactivity may require a second contact site which is about 7-15 Angstroms away from the antibody specificity site • This site would be contacted by a different CDR

  40. Interpretations of Negative Reactions of a Serum with HLA Antibodies The mismatched HLA antigen has a different epitope not recognized by patient antibody: Acceptable mismatches are identified through sharing of epitopes not recognized by patient’s antibodies

  41. Interpretations of Negative Reactions of a Serum with HLA Antibodies The mismatched HLA antigen has a different epitope not recognized by patient antibody: Acceptable mismatches are identified through sharing of epitopes not recognized by patient’s antibodies The mismatched HLA antigen carries the antibody specificity site but lacks the Critical Contact Site (CCS) for antibody binding: Acceptable mismatches are more difficult to identify

  42. Interpretations of Negative Reactions of a Serum with HLA Antibodies The mismatched HLA antigen has a different epitope not recognized by patient antibody: Acceptable mismatches are identified through sharing of epitopes not recognized by patient’s antibodies The mismatched HLA antigen carries the antibody specificity site but lacks the Critical Contact Site (CCS) for antibody binding: Acceptable mismatches are more difficult to identify Hidden polymorphisms may affect the conformation of surface residues in the antibody specificity site and/or critical second contact site
