    Donor specific transfusions (DSTs) using stored blood reduced sensitization to HLA antigens in transplant recipients. This method improved transplant success rates by preserving immune-stimulating cells while reducing sensitizing T lymphocytes.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Transplantation immunology
    • Blood transfusion science

    Background:

    • Donor specific transfusions (DSTs) are used to reduce sensitization to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antigens before transplantation.
    • Traditional DSTs can lead to undesirable immune sensitization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of DSTs using aged blood in reducing HLA sensitization and improving transplant outcomes.
    • To investigate the in vitro changes in blood cell populations during storage and their impact on immune response.

    Main Methods:

    • Fourteen haploidentical recipients received DSTs with donor blood stored for 1, 3, and 5 weeks.
    • Transplantation was performed 22 to 149 days post-DST.
    • In vitro studies analyzed changes in T lymphocytes, B cells, and monocytes during blood storage.

    Main Results:

    • Successful transplantation in 13 out of 14 recipients for 3 to 26 months.
    • One patient experienced hyperacute rejection despite a negative crossmatch.
    • In vitro studies indicated loss of T lymphocytes and preservation of B cells and monocytes in stored blood.

    Conclusions:

    • Blood storage appears to diminish T lymphocyte sensitization while preserving immune-stimulating cells.
    • DSTs with aged blood may offer a strategy for reducing HLA sensitization and improving transplant success.
    • Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms involved.
