Transplantation
 Organs:
– Kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas
 Tissues:
– Cornea, skin, bone, heart valves
 Blood:
– Erythrocytes, trombocytes, plasma
 Bone marrow:
Transplantation
 Autotransplantation
– Within one individual
 Isotransplantation
– Between genetically identical individuals
 Allotransplantation
– Between individuals from the same species
 Xenotransplantation
– Between different species
Transplantation antigens
 Antigen: A molecule recognised as foreign
 Blood group antigens
– The ABO-system
 MHC: The Major Histocompatibility Complex
– Humans: HLA, Human Leukocyte Antigens
– Mouse: H2. Rats: RT1
– Enormous heterogeneity
 Others
Specific -Nonspecific
 Non -specific inflammatory mechanisms:
– Macrophages, dendritic cells.
– NK cells
– Granulocytes
– Complement
 Antigen-specific immune response:
– T-lymphocytes: TH, TC.
– B-lymphocytes: Immunoglobulin, IG.
MHC
 Location:
– On the surface of nucleated cells.
 Function:
– Antigen presentation. A foreign molecule + the MHCmolecule = altered self => antigen.
– Transplantation. A foreign MHC-molecule = altered
self => transplantation antigen.
 Inflammation:
– Upregulated
Immune activation
 Antigen presentation.
 Cell-to-cell adhesion.
 Signalling molecules.
 Cytokine gene polymorphism.
 Cell activation.
 Effector mechanisms.
Antigen presentation
 Antigen presenting cells, APC.
– Macrophages, dendritic cells
 Antigen presentation
– Direct: Donor-APC with donor-MHC.
– Indirect: Recipient-APC with donor-MHC.
Cell-to-cell adhesion
 Close and stable adhesion:
– Antigen presentation.
– Facilitate signalling.

production or receptor activity.

– Ca-independent pathway
 Step 2: Cytokine - cell proliferation cycle

 Purine synthesis
– DeNovo pathway
 7-10 days.
Effector mechanisms
 TC (CD-8): Killer cells, cytotoxic cells.
 TH (CD-4): Helper cells, promote
inflammation.
 B-lymphocytes: Antibody production,
Acute rejection
 Cellular infiltration
 Cytokine production
– Upregulation of MHC
 Tissue destruction
– Cytotoxic T cells

 Thrombosis
 Fibrosis
Clinical signs of acute rejection
 Kidney:
– Creatinine elevation

 Liver:
– Abnormal liver values.
 Thoracic organs
– Protocol biopsies.
Clinical classification of rejections:
- Chronological
 Hyperacute:
– Preformed antibodies.
– Within minutes-hours.
 Acute:
– Mainly cellular
– Within weeks, < 3 months.
 Chronic:
– After years, slowly progressing.
Clinical classification of rejections:
- Sensitive to treatment
 Steroid treatment:
– Sensitive.
– Resistant. Need for antibody treatment.
 Outcome
– Return to baseline level
– Stable at an elevated level
– Progressive
Chronic rejection
 Inflammation
 Arteriosclerosis
– Intimal thickening
 Fibrosis
 Organ specific destruction's
– Glomerular sclerosis and tubular atrophy
– Vanishing bile ducts and cellular ballooning
– Brochiolitis obliterans
Tolerance
 Absence of activation:
– Self tolerance!
– Foetal tolerance!
– Tumour tolerance?
– Transplantation tolerance?
 Mechanisms:
– Anergy
– Clonal deletion
– Suppresser cells
Clinical results, kidney
 Acute rejection:
– 50 %. Nearly always reversible.
– Increased risk of chronic rejection.
 1-year results:
– 95 % patient survival.
– 85-90 % graft survival.
– Few infections, normal life.
 Long term:
– 50 % graft survival, appr 15 years.
TNF-gene polymorphism and
graft survival
Val av främmande organ
 Blodgruppstillhörighet.
– Undantag, A2 -> 0
 Transplantationsantigen

– Övriga utan främmande HLA-antigen
– Med påvisbara främmande antigen, > 90 %
