1 Hong Kong Workshop Lecture 2 Antigenicity of HLA-ABC epitopes Antibody reactivity analysis in different assays

2 HLA Epitopes Distinguish between epitope Antigenicity (reactivity with antibody) and Immunogenicity (ability to induce an antibody response)

3 How do antibodies react with HLA epitopes?
Influence of residues in the structural epitope on 1. Binding with antibody 2. Activation of biological activity of antibody

4 HLA Epitope Antigenicity
Evolution of HLA antibody testing methods

5 Serum Testing for HLA Antibodies
Methods in the clinical laboratory Ig-binding with Luminex beads coated with single alleles or HLA phenotypes C1q- (and C3) -binding (Luminex) with single alleles Direct (and AHG-augmented) complement-dependent lymphocytotoxicity with HLA panels and in cross- matching Flow cytometry (mostly for cross-matching)

6 Primary Purpose of Serum Analysis of HLA Antibodies
Select donors with acceptable HLA mismatches Avoid donors with unacceptable HLA mismatches. QUESTIONS: Do we consider mismatch acceptability for: HLA-A,B,C; DRB1/3/4/5; DQA,B; DPA,B; MICA? Which epitopes are important?

7 But, we may also want to know what epitopes these HLA antibodies recognize

8 What Do We Need to Know for Epitope-Based Analysis of Serum HLA Antibody Reactivity? As an example, consider three alleles in a Luminex panel; each one has lots of eplets!

9 Non-self epitopes for this patient
17 What Do We Need to Know for Epitope-Based Analysis of Serum HLA Antibody Reactivity? HLA type of antibody producer will distinguish between non- self from self eplets Non-self epitopes for this patient

10 18 What Do We Need to Know for Epitope-Based Analysis of Serum HLA Antibody Reactivity? HLA type of antibody producer will distinguish between non- self from self eplets HLA type of immunizer will distinguish “donor-specific” eplets Patient type: A*02:01,A*31:01; B*40:01, B*44:02; C*03:04, C*05:01 and has been sensitized by B*51:01

11 19 What Do We Need to Know for Epitope-Based Analysis of Serum HLA Antibody Reactivity? HLA type of antibody producer will distinguish between non- self from self epitopes HLA type of immunizer will distinguish “donor-specific” eplets

12 What Do We Need to Know for Epitope-Based Analysis of Serum HLA Antibody Reactivity?
HLA type of antibody producer will distinguish between non-self from self epitopes The immunizing event: HLA type of immunizer will distinguish “donor-specific” from “third-party” (irrelevant?) epitopes IMPORTANT CONCEPT: Antibody specificity patterns are restricted to small numbers of epitopes Luminex assays with single allele panels Is the panel informative enough? Need for absorption/elution studies? How do we interpret MFI values?

13 MFI Values in Luminex Assays
High MFI values comparable to positive controls indicate positive reactions Extremely low MFI values comparable to those with self alleles of the antibody producer and negative controls indicate negative reactions. How do we determine cut-off values? MFI>100? MFI>500? MFI>1000? MFI>3000? Etc.

14 Classify MFI Values in Single Allele Bead Assays of Monospecific Antibodies
Description Reactivity High Comparable to Positive Control Positive Intermediate Significantly lower than the Positive Control Low Low but significantly higher than the MFI of self alleles of the antibody producer Weakly Positive Very Low Comparable to the MFI of self alleles and the Negative Control Borderline or Negative?

15 Classify MFI Values in Single Allele Bead Assays of Monospecific Antibodies
Description Reactivity High Comparable to Positive Control Positive Intermediate Significantly lower than the Positive Control Low Low but significantly higher than the MFI of self alleles of the antibody producer Weakly Positive Very Low Comparable to the MFI of self alleles and the Negative Control Borderline or Negative? Important considerations: Some alleles in a SAB kit may have non-HLA specific reactivity Some alleles might generally be weakly reactive

16 MFI Values in Luminex Assays
High MFI values comparable to positive controls indicate positive reactions Extremely low MFI values comparable to those with self alleles of the antibody producer and negative controls indicate negative reactions Suggestion: Use MFI values with self-alleles to determine cut-off values for positive and negative reactions Hypothesis: Certain eplet-carrying alleles have low MFI values because they have significant amino acid differences with the structural epitope of the immunizing allele

35 Structural Epitope-Based Interpretations of MFI Values of Single Allele Beads Reacting with Monospecific Antibodies MFI Description Comparison with immunizing allele High Comparable to Positive Control The eplet-carrying allele has a similar structural epitope or there are residue differences that are not important Intermediate Significantly lower than the Positive Control The structural epitope of the eplet-carrying allele may have some residue differences but they have a minor effect on antibody binding Low Low but significantly higher than the MFI of self alleles of the antibody producer The structural epitope of the eplet-carrying allele has certain residues that interfere with efficient binding but the reaction must still be considered positive Very Low Comparable to the MFI of self alleles and the Negative Control The structural epitope of the eplet-carrying allele lacks critical residues necessary for binding OR the allele lacks the eplet recognized by antibody

46 How can we understand these differences?
Inconsistencies Between Reactivity Patterns of Three Other 62GE-Specific Monoclonals Tested with Two Luminex Kits How can we understand these differences?

48 Conclusions Some human monoclonal antibodies react differently with alleles in the One Lambda and the Gen-Probe Luminex kits Can this be explained with peptide repertoire differences between alleles used in these kits? No matter what, we should be aware that some HLA epitope-specific alloantibodies are “peptide-dependent” and will have lower MFI values with certain alleles

49 How do antibodies react with HLA epitopes?
Epitopes are defined by eplets and other residue configurations Binding with antibody involves CDRs on heavy and light chains

50 How do antibodies react with HLA epitopes?
Epitopes are defined by eplets and other residue configurations Binding with antibody involves CDRs on heavy and light chains Binding energy (affinity) and biological activity of antibody

51 Determination of Epitope Specificities of Antibodies Important to the Understanding of the Sensitization Process and the Clinical Management of the Sensitized Patient

54 Patient: HLA-A1,66; B44,58; Cw4,6 Donor: HLA- A1,3; B57,62; Cw6,7 61-yr old male, Kidney Transplant 2001, Failure 2005, Serum samples 2007- Transplant was the only sensitizing event Why does serum react with B*4402 but not with B*4403?

55 Which alleles in the panel have 156DA?
HLAMatchmaker shows that B*4402 has only one eplet difference from B*4403 ……namely 156DA ! Which alleles in the panel have 156DA?

56 Which alleles in the panel have 156DA?
HLAMatchmaker shows that B*4402 has only one eplet difference from B*4403 ……namely 156DA ! Which alleles in the panel have 156DA? B*0801 B*3701 B*4101 B*4201 B*4402 B*4501 B*8201 They are all reactive!

57 Patient: HLA-A1,66; B44,58; Cw4,6 Donor: HLA- A1,3; B57,62; Cw6,7 61-yr old male, Kidney Transplant 2001, Failure 2005, Serum samples 2007- Transplant was the only sensitizing event ____ Why does serum react with B*4402 but not with B*4403?

58 B*4402 has only one eplet difference from B*4403 .... namely 156DA !
Does the immunizing Cw7 have 156DA? The common Cw*0701 and Cw*0702 alleles do not have 156DA Hypothesis: donor type must have the uncommon Cw*0704 which has 156DA

59 High-Resolution Typing Results Patient: A. 0101,. 6601; B. 4403,
High-Resolution Typing Results Patient: A*0101,*6601; B*4403,*5801; Cw*0401,*0602 Donor: A*0101,*0301; B*1501,*5701; Cw*0602,*0704

60 HLAMatchmaker analysis of Luminex results with two single allele kits

61 Anti-156DA Specific Antibodies and Unacceptable Mismatches
Immunizing allele Cw*0704 and 156DA-carrying alleles in the Luminex panel: B*0801, B*3701, B*4101, B*4201, B*4402, B*4501 and B*8201 Other 156DA-carrying alleles not in the Luminex panel such as B*0704, B*4102, B*4405, B*5108 and B*8301

62 B44 Case Summary Serum reactivity with B*4402 but not B*4403 is due to antibody against the 156DA epitope A Cw*0704 mismatch induced anti-156DA antibodies This sensitization event rendered 156DA-carrying HLA-B alleles as unacceptable mismatches These findings illustrate the importance of high-resolution HLA typing in the interpretation of antibody reactivity patterns and the determination of HLA mismatch acceptability
