While matching for MHC Ags improves renal allograft survival,
closely matched grafts sometimes fail due to rejection, and poorly
matched allografts are often well tolerated by the recipient. The
severity of the rejection process may partially depend on the presence
of environmentally primed T cells in the recipient that cross-react
with donor Ags. To test for the presence of primed, donor-specific T
cells in humans before transplantation, we used an enzyme-linked
immunospot assay for detection of allospecific cytokines produced by
individual human PBLs. We demonstrate that this approach detects
cytokine production at single cell resolution and detects production of
IFN-
only when there is defined immunologic priming, thus
representing a measure of primed donor-specific immunity. Because the
environmental Ag exposure of the recipient is not a function of the HLA
mismatch between donor and potential recipient, the number of HLA
mismatches may not correlate with the frequency of pretransplant,
donor-specific IFN-
-producing PBLs. Studies of donor-specific
IFN-
-producing lymphocytes in a cohort of patients being evaluated
for renal transplantation corroborated this hypothesis. Moreover, for
recipients of both living and cadaver renal allografts, the
pretransplant frequency of donor-specific memory cells correlated with
the posttransplant risk of developing acute rejection episodes. This
improved ability to define the strength of the allospecific immune
response by enzyme-linked immunospot assay may allow improved pairing
of recipients with donors and identification of kidney allograft
donor-recipient pairs at high risk for acute rejection, thus permitting
targeted interventions aimed at prolonging graft
survival.
