Abstract
Through the in vitro calcein-release assay and flow cytometry, we evaluated the protective effect of a monoclonal anti-swine leukocyte antigen class I antibody (clone JM1E3) against alloreactive IgG complement-dependent cytotoxicity toward donor endothelial cells. Kidneys perfused ex vivo with JM1E3 during hypothermic machine perfusion were transplanted to alloimmunized recipients. In vitro incubation of endothelial cells with JM1E3 decreased alloreactive IgG cytotoxicity (mean complement-dependent cytotoxicity index [% of control condition] with 1 µg/mL 74.13% ± 35.26 [calcein assay] and 66.88% ± 33.46 [cytometry]), with high interindividual variability. After transplantation, acute AMR occurred in all recipients on day 1, with signs of complement activation (C5b-9 staining) as soon as 1 h after transplantation, despite effective JM1E3 binding on graft endothelium. Despite a partial protective effect of swine leukocyte antigen I masking with JM1E3 in vitro, ex vivo perfusion of the kidney with JM1E3 before transplantation was not sufficient alone at preventing or delaying AMR in highly sensitized recipients.
