  1. Objectives • Overview of HLA genes and their function • Importance of HLA in solid organ transplantation • Overview of HLA typing and histocompatibility testing in solid organ transplantation

  2. HLA testing in solid organ transplantation Dr. Robert Liwski, MD, PhD, FRCPC Medical Director, HLA Typing Laboratory Division of Hematopathology Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Dalhousie University rliwski@dal.ca

  3. Halifax HLA Laboratory • HLA testing for patients from all Atlantic provinces • Solid organ transplantation • Kidney (+/- pancreas) • Liver • heart • Hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplantation • HLA identical siblings • HLA matched unrelated donors

  4. HLA testing..... is similar to pre-transfusion testing.

  5. HLA testing..... is similar to pre-transfusion testing.

  6. HLA testing..... is similar to pre-transfusion testing. • ABO, D antigen typing and transfuse ABO, D matched blood

  7. HLA testing..... is similar to pre-transfusion testing. • ABO, D antigen typing and transfuse ABO, D matched blood • HLA typing and transplant HLA matched kidney or bone marrow

  8. HLA testing..... is similar to pre-transfusion testing. • ABO, D antigen typing and transfuse ABO, D matched blood • RBC antigen antibody screen • If screen is positive, identify specificity of allo-antibody and transfuse antigen negative RBC units • HLA typing and transplant HLA matched kidney or bone marrow

  15. HLA class I and class II antigens • Monomer with non-covalently associated subunit (b2m) • Presents antigenic peptides to CD8+ T cells • Expressed by all nucleated cells • Heterodimer • Presents antigenic peptides to CD4+ T cells • Restricted expression on antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, B cells, macrophages) • Inducible on other cells (endothelium and epithelium)

  16. Polymorphic residues on Class I HLA molecules (polymorphisms are concentrated around peptide binding groove) Top view Side views HLA-A b2 microglobulin HLA-B HLA-C

  17. Functional relevance of HLA • Necessary to initiate T cell mediated immune responses against pathogens • polygenic – survival advantage to individual • polymorphic-survival advantage to species • Transplantation • Causes sensitization (T cell response and B cell/antibody response) • Can lead to graft rejection

  18. HLA antibody development Your (“self”) HLA

  19. HLA antibody development Your (“self”) HLA Donor (“allo”) HLA

  25. Antibody mediated rejection (high power) Courtesy Dr. Jennifer Merrimen

  26. Acute Antibody Mediated Rejection, C4d positive Courtesy Dr. Jennifer Merrimen

  27. Strategies used to avoid/minimize transplant rejection • HLA typing and matching of recipient/donor pairs • Detection of donor specific HLA antibodies. • Lymphocyte crossmatch • Complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) crossmatch. • Flow cytometrycrossmatch (newer technique, much more sensitive) • Virtual crossmatch • Identification of HLA antibodies in recipient serum by solid phase assay • HLA typing of the donor (and recipient) • Correlation of recipient HLA antibodies and donor/recipient typing

  28. Effect of HLA matching on renal transplant outcomes

  31. HLA typing • Typing at the HLA-A, B, C, DR, DQ, DP • Serological techniques (being phased out for routine testing) • Molecular techniques • Sequence specific priming (SSP) • Sequence specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP)
