Goals
•
Re-orient to sensitization biology in transfusion
medicine
•
Appreciate what is known about hemolytic
passenger lymphocyte syndromes (PLS) in
transplantation
•
Note some twists in ABO-incompatible stem cell
transplantation
•
Consider new insights into “accommodation”

45%
O donor plasma:
• anti-A,B IgG
• anti-A & anti-B IgG & IgM

AB donor plasma:
• no anti-A or anti-B
11%
B donor plasma:
• anti-A IgM
5
30 blood group antigen systems
(ABO, Rh, …) containing structures that are
naturally “polymorphic”
(278 antigens + 38 in “collections/series”)
6
Who Are The Antibody-Makers Anyway?
• anyone whose immune system has seen a foreign red cell
at any other time in their lives
– the parous (85% of child-bearing age females)
• feto-maternal hemorrhage (FMH), especially at parturition
– any transfusion history
• up to 1-3% of the healthy donor population
• up to 1/3rd of those with a hospital admission history
– any tissue grafts or transplants (solid organs,
hematopoietic progenitor [stem] cells), inevitably
contaminated with passenger erythrocytes
7
“Antibody Makers”
• 13% of people are “antibody makers”
• difference between -makers and -others appears, at least in
part, to be absence vs integrity of T-reg-suppressive activity

The Vocabulary of Immune
Violence
MAJOR vs MINOR incompatibility
ACTIVE vs PASSIVE immunity
13
Directions of Incompatibility
• MAJOR
• “MINOR”
– incoming donor’s
cellular antigens are the
incompatible target
– host-source immunity
mounts the attack
– donor-source immunity
mounts the attack
– PRODUCT REJECTION
by a fighting recipient
– HOST REJECTION
by a fighting donor
• eg. ABO incompatible RBC
mistransfusion
– A into O: donor A cells
destroyed by host O
plasma
– host’s cellular antigens are
the incompatible target
• eg. GVHD from a solid
organ transplant, a
transfusion, or a BMT
• eg. TRALI
• eg. acute rejection of
organs
14
Active vs Passive Immunity
• ACTIVE
n∞
• PASSIVE
– renewable humoral
(via cellular) fighting
power
all forms of
MAJOR
incompatibility
recipient
plasma cell
– finite (humorally
contained) fighting
power

MINOR
incompatibility

15
GVHD: What does it take?
• living passenger lymphocytes
• proliferative stimulus: something recognizably
different in the host to attack
• invulnerability: some way for the passengers to “get
away with it”
– host too immune suppressed
– host “immune oblivious” (eg. homozygous haploidentical
donor indistinguishable from self)

17
PLS – The Implicated RBC Antigen
Spectrum
(Usual Victims)
555-fold
• ABO > Rh > minor RBC antigens:
– probability of minor discrepancy
• 25% for ABO vs <15% for Rh
– presence of preformed Ab or primary historical sensitizations
• ~100% for ABO vs 0.3% for Rh(D)
• Rh: usually from donors who have been alloimmunized
previously
– prior donor alloimmunization “almost necessary”
18
First Reports of Anti-RBC PLS
• 1964 – 1st hemolytic ABO PLS Marchioro, NYAS
• 1985 – 1st hemolytic anti-D PLS Swanson, Transfusion
• 1990 – 1st multiorgan (L, K) PLS Ramsey, aaBB
19
PLS – “Lymphoid” Load Spectrum
(Usual Aggressors)
kidney
(heart-) lung
small bowel,
pancreas
HPC:
PB > BM
liver
• dead or alive…
• graft (usually) unaffected
• at least 10 6 – 10 7
20
Timing For “Serologically
Expressive” Chimerism
• median onset: 9 days (5 – 17)
• median duration: 4.5 weeks (2 – 23)
• undetectable by 3 months
• the records:
– fastest onset: 12 h
– most delayed onset: 45 d
– longest persistence: 2 years for Ab (2 mo for HA)
21
The Role of Incidental HLA Matching
(“graft stealth” by tolerance of
inadvertently HLA-similar passengers)
• borne out in TA- & SOT- GVHD
literature
• anti-RBC PLS may also be more likely
with inadvertent HLA matching
22
Things That May Make it Worse
• density of vulnerable antigen
– group A recipients
• use of non-B-cell suppressive IST
– cyclosporine
• pro-hemolytic ± complement-fixing capabilities of antibody
• inflammation / cytokines
– TNF-α & IL-1 (conditioning or ischemic injuries)
– co-stimulatory interactions: CD40 - CD154, CD28 - B7
– IL-2 RαCD25-dependent clonal expansion with Th1 – CTL
response
– overly receptive RES/MPS
23
Things That May Make it Better
(or Preventatively Subdue it?)
• post- (or pre-?) transplant graft irradiation
• reducing immunosuppression = de-repression revenge
• evolution towards non-hemolytic antibody properties
• promotion of activity of inhibitory FcR
• “non-hemolytic red cell antigen loss”
• senescence of passenger lymphocytes
• Ag-Ab excesses
 negative feedback to memory B cells
24
Transfusion Care in PLS
• issuing antigen-negative blood, compatible with respect to
graft-origin antibodies, and not just the same blood type as
the host
• failure to do so = “Incorrect Blood Component Transfused”
(IBCT) medical error event… +/- ABO mis-transfusion
• top-up transfusions… or therapeutic red cell exchange (TREX)
25
Is There a Role for Apheresis?
Red cell
replacement of
removed plasma
(hybrid TPRE)
Whole blood removal
eg. manual red cell exchange,
replacing with pRBC ±
plasma/NS/albumin
(reconstituted whole blood)
Therapeutic red
cell exchange
(TREx)
Top-up
transfusion
26
When Sh/(C)ould Therapeutic Plasma
Exchange Be Offered?
• removal of pathologic antibody
– IgM > IgG
– high titer > low titer
• “detox” of RBC breakdown products
– for extreme cases with intravascular hemolysis
• plasma free hemoglobin: ? danger thresholds ?
– massive acute hemolysis (MAH):
free plasma hemoglobinemia > 60 µmol/L
= > 387 mg/dL (N: 0.5 – 5 mg/dL)
• stromal factors & DIC
27
Other Management Options
• rituximab
• graft irradiation
• splenectomy
• cytotoxic agents, prednisone adjustments
• combination therapy: RBC/TREX, IST, apheresis, splenectomy

31
Case 1
• 66F presented for a R SLT for COPD
• group & screen pre-op:
– A, Rh(D)+
– screen negative amid a history of A+ transfusions
• group & screen POD17 in the pre-transfusion
investigations of her new hemolytic anemia:
– A, Rh(D)+
– screen: anti-D & anti-C
– DAT: anti-D & anti-C

Case 1: Indirect Attributable Mortality
Due to PLS
• POD 21, Hb 6.0 g/dL:
– massive AMI (“demand-ischemic” with rAF)
– grade IV EF
 left with refractory CHF
 cardiac dysrhythmiae & fluid imbalances
• died day 330 post transplant
= 10 months later
= 113 days after last detectable anti-D

Case 2: Recipient of the Contralateral
Donor’s Lung:
• 43 y old female presented for L SLT 9/28/07
• A, R1 r , negative pre-transplant screen
• lifelong transfusion-free history
• screened monthly due to Case 1 patient

Why Did anti-D PLS Happen So Often
In Our Series?
• expected:
– (13% risk of D- to D+) x (2% risk of anti-D) x (100% transfer) =
0.3%
• observed:
– 3/92 or 3% [95% CI: 1 – 9 %]
• 100% transfer did indeed occur based on lookback
• 3 donors were found to be D-sensitized
– of a denominator of 12 D- donors, rate was 25% [ 6 – 57%,
95% CI]
(>12x higher than expected… )

Quick Summary of Vagaries of ABOi in HPCT
• MAJOR INCOMPATIBLE
HPCT
– multi-lineage marrow
aplasia/hypoplasia
– delayed (red cell)
engraftment / pure red cell
aplasia (PRCA)
– INCOMING
DONOR CELLS
FOUGHT OFF
(acute hemolysis of passive
contaminant, delayed
establishment of active
production)
• MINOR INCOMPATIBLE
HPCT
– delayed,
potentially severe hemolytic
anemia
– HISTORICAL
RECIPIENT CELLS FOUGHT
OFF
(acute hemolysis of recipient
cells by passive antibody,
delayed hemolysis of
recipient cells by active
antibody)
49
ABOi HPCT and
Increased RBC Alloimmunization?
• Described once by de la Rubia et al in 2001, in a transplant
cohort of 217 transplant patients, of whom 8 had developed
non-ABO RBC antibodies
– ABO blood group incompatibility (p = 0.005) and patient's age (p =
0.02) were the only two variables significantly associated with the
development of RBC alloantibodies
• Took a peak (in 2006 while at BIDMC) at 90 consecutive
transplant patients, of whom 8 had non-ABO RBC antibodies

red cell sensitization (n=8):
• 1/3rd of ABO minor incompatible HPC transplants
• 1/15th of ABO major incompatible HPC transplants
Suggests that antibody formation is not only more
frequently observed in ABO-mismatched cases, but
specifically in the minor incompatibility scenario.

54
How Does Loss of Ag Happen Without
Losing the RBC?
• no single mechanism found yet…
– ? synthetic feedback suppression of antigen
– ? post-expression tear-away
– ? partial alteration of antigen
– ? benign antibody binding
D
• you don’t need a spleen, but it won’t happen ex-vivo…
– need a liver with FcγRIII
– need to simultaneously cross-link antibodies that have
separate specificities for parts of the same target antigen
55
A Natural Mechanism,
Neglected Because of Its Silence…
• CR1 (CD35) on RBCs* have been known to transfer immune
complexes to Kupffer cells of the liver without undergoing
hemolysis!
* CR1 also present in B cells, myeloid cells…
• Unnatural clinical precedents, good and bad:
– “organ accommodation”
– CD20+ CLL cells becoming CD20- and thus escaping the
effects of rituximab (anti-CD20)
56

low/absent
Normal range: 50 – 1200/cell
20-fold natural variation in healthy people
Low expression: <200 / cell
• C3b/C4b complement receptor = CR1 = CD35, chr 1q32 within RCA
(regulators of complement activation) family
• On red blood cells:
– Primary function: limits activation of complement pathway
• Binds complement cleavage products C3b and C4b, thus acting as a cofactor to
inactivate them to iC3b and iC4b
– Secondary function: provide a removal/clearance function
• Immune complexes (IC) bind to C3b, which is then trafficked on CR1 of RBCs (and
other cells) to the liver and spleen for removal by macrophages…
• On B-cells and macrophages:
– Pro-inflammatory cytokine release in response to immune complexes?
57
Final Aphorisms
• just because something isn’t major incompatible, it doesn’t mean
it’s compatible enough…
sometimes “minor” is anything but
• unexpected antibodies – for a specific self-alloantigen, at a time
when de novo antibody production is assumed to be stymied, tell
us interesting stories
• knowing more about what controls the difference between harmful
versus harmless sensitizations has vast implications for us in
troubleshooting our way through transfusion medicine, transplant
immunobiology, & biologic therapy
