Zusammenfassung

In der Transplantationsdiagnostik werden die Seren der Patienten auf der Warteliste jedes Quartal auf präexistierende Anti-HLA-Antikörper untersucht. Jedoch kann die Existenz von zirkulierenden peripheren Antikörpern, die von knochenmarkresidierenden Plasmazellen sezerniert wurden, keine zuverlässige Information über das Zellkompartment von B-Gedächtniszellen geben. Die Exposition mit einem inkompatiblen HLA-Antigen kann immer die Aktivierung vorhandener B-Gedächtniszellen auslösen. Die Analyse von B-Gedächtniszellen ermöglicht die Erhebung von belastbaren Daten über den individuellen Immunstatus eines Patienten.

Abstract

In transplantation diagnosis, the standard operating procedure is the quarterly screening of pre-existing anti-HLA antibodies in peripheral sera of patients from the waiting list. Yet, the existence of circulating peripheral antibodies that are secreted by bone marrow-residing plasma cells cannot be translated into reliable information on the memory B cell compartment. The exposure to a mismatched HLA antigen could always be a trigger for the activation of memory B cell immunity. The detection of HLA-specific memory B cells would allow elevating resilient data about the patient individual immune status.
