ABO-incompatible solid-organ transplantation is becoming more successful, especially in children, by overcoming antibody barriers. Further research is needed to optimize protocols for broader application in adult transplantation.

Area of Science:

  • Transplantation immunology
  • Organ transplantation research
  • Immunological tolerance mechanisms

Background:

  • ABO incompatibility presents a significant barrier to solid-organ transplantation, limiting access.
  • Living-donor renal transplantation has seen success in overcoming ABO barriers, but protocols vary.
  • ABO-incompatible transplantation in adults is limited, particularly for heart and lung, while more successful in children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and future directions of overcoming ABO incompatibility in solid-organ transplantation.
  • To explore the immunological mechanisms underlying successful ABO-incompatible transplants.
  • To highlight the need for standardized protocols and further clinical trials.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on ABO-incompatible transplantation across different organs and age groups.

  • Discussion of immunological concepts such as accommodation and B-cell tolerance.
  • Analysis of peritransplantation therapy strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • ABO-incompatible renal transplantation in adults shows promise, with varying protocols.
    • Children, especially infants, demonstrate higher success rates due to immature immune systems and mechanisms like spontaneous B-cell tolerance.
    • Accommodation, involving donor organ gene responses, is an emerging mechanism for graft survival.

    Conclusions:

    • ABO incompatibility is increasingly surmountable as a barrier to solid-organ transplantation.
    • Tailoring peritransplantation therapy to specific immune mechanisms can enhance graft survival.
    • Further well-designed clinical trials are essential to establish optimal management protocols for ABO-incompatible transplants.
