Abstract The analysis of sera containing different platelet-reactive antibodies, eg, autoantibodies, platelet-specific alloantibodies like anti-PIA1, - PIA2, -Baka, and HLA antibodies, is still difficult. Recently, monoclonal antibodies against major platelet membrane constituents (glycoproteins IIb/IIIa and Ib and HLA class I molecule) have become available. In this report we describe a new assay that takes advantage of these highly specific reagents to investigate selectively platelet reactive antibodies against epitopes on different glycoproteins. The reliability and specificity of this assay is demonstrated with known platelet-reactive autoantibodies and alloantibodies (anti-PIA1, -Baka, - Pen). The discovery of a PIA2 antibody in a serum of a polytransfused patient underscores the efficiency of this technique. Possible applications of this assay are discussed in detail.

In transplant recipients vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae is recommended to reduce mortality from invasive pneumococcal disease. It is still debated if vaccination in transplant recipients triggers alloresponses. Therefore, it was our aim to define if vaccination with Prevenar 13®, a 13-valent, conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (Pfizer, New York, NY, USA) that acts T cell dependently, induces human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies in clinically stable kidney transplant recipients. Forty-seven patients were vaccinated once with Prevenar 13® and HLA antibodies were determined prior to vaccination and at month 1 and 12 thereafter. In parallel, pneumococcal IgG antibodies were measured. Using Luminex™ Mixed Beads technology (One Lambda/Thermo Fisher, Canoga Park, CA, USA) we observed overall no change in HLA antibodies after vaccination. Pneumococcal antibodies increased significantly at month 1 (p < 0.0001) and remained elevated at month 12 (p < 0.005). A more detailed analysis of HLA antibodies showed that in 18 females HLA class I and II antibodies increased significantly at month 1 and 12 (p < 0.05); whereas in 29 males HLA class I and II antibodies tended to decrease. Using Luminex™ Single Antigen Beads assay, no de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies were detected after vaccination. In conclusion, the current data indicate that females may be more susceptible to the induction of (non-specific) HLA antibodies after vaccination.

Abstract Inhibitory-cell killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) negatively regulate natural killer (NK) cell–mediated killing of HLA class I–expressing tumors. Lack of KIR-HLA class I interactions has been associated with potent NK-mediated antitumor efficacy and increased survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients upon haploidentical stem cell transplantation from KIR-mismatched donors. To exploit this pathway pharmacologically, we generated a fully human monoclonal antibody, 1-7F9, which cross-reacts with KIR2DL1, -2, and -3 receptors, and prevents their inhibitory signaling. The 1-7F9 monoclonal antibody augmented NK cell–mediated lysis of HLA-C–expressing tumor cells, including autologous AML blasts, but did not induce killing of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells, suggesting a therapeutic window for preferential enhancement of NK-cell cytotoxicity against malignant target cells. Administration of 1-7F9 to KIR2DL3-transgenic mice resulted in dose-dependent rejection of HLA-Cw3–positive target cells. In an immunodeficient mouse model in which inoculation of human NK cells alone was unable to protect against lethal, autologous AML, preadministration of 1-7F9 resulted in long-term survival. These data show that 1-7F9 confers specific, stable blockade of KIR, boosting NK-mediated killing of HLA-matched AML blasts in vitro and in vivo, providing a preclinical basis for initiating phase 1 clinical trials with this candidate therapeutic antibody.
