Transplantation reviews (Orlando, Fla.)·2016

The study explores the immune system's "idiotypic network" response to foreign tissues, specifically Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) antigens. Evidence suggests the induction of specific antibodies (Ab-2) against HLA, but further research is needed to confirm anti-TCR antibody induction.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Transplantation immunology
  • Network theory

Background:

  • Growing evidence supports an idiotypic network in mammalian immune responses to alloantigens, particularly MHC antigens.
  • Direct evidence shows induction of Ab-2 antibodies specific to donor HLA by donor-specific transfusion (DST).
  • Recent findings indicate Ab-2 antibodies targeting HLA constant regions in multiply-transfused patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the evidence for anti-TCR antibody induction by DST.
  • To explore the specificity of MLR blocking factors (MLC BF) induced by DST.
  • To identify the need for improved molecular probes for anti-idiotype screening.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence on Ab-2 induction by DST.
  • Analysis of functional specificity data for anti-TCR antibodies.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of studies on T cell lines and lymphoblasts for clonotypic antibodies.

    • Main Results:

    • Direct evidence for Ab-2 induction to donor HLA specificities by DST is strong.
    • Evidence for anti-TCR antibody induction by DST is primarily functional, not biochemical.
    • MLC BF induced by DST may target V beta family or public idiotypes on T cells, with weak inhibition and no clonotypic antibodies found.

    Conclusions:

    • Further investigation using advanced molecular probes is required.
    • Human monoclonal antibodies, T cell clones, and purified TCR are needed.
    • Screening for specific anti-idiotypes in transfused patients necessitates better tools.
