- 2. Organ transplantation is the Rx of choice when an organ ….. - has severe congenital malformation - is irreversibly damaged by some disease process Main obstacle is rejection of transplanted organ by the host Transplantation Immunology APR-2015-CSBRP
- 3. Transplantation - terminologyTransplantation - terminology • Autograft – Donor & recipient is same individual • Isograft - Donor & recipient is same genotype • Allograft - Donor & recipient is of same species but different genotype • Xenograft – Donor is different species from that of recipient Skin , kidney, BM, heart, lung, liver, cornea APR-2015-CSBRP
- 4. Transplant rejectionTransplant rejection • Any two individuals express 2 different HLA protein • Rejection is a complex process in which both cell mediated immunity & circulating Ab play a role • T cell mediated reaction – CD4 + helper cells – mediate Delayed hypersensitivity reaction – CD8+ CTLS – mediate graft cell destruction APR-2015-CSBRP

Histo-compatibility AntigenHisto-compatibility Antigen • Base on structure, distribution and function of MHC gene products • Class I MHC antigens have loci as HLA- A, HLA – B and HLA – C • Class II MHC antigens have single locus HLA – D .

Class II MHC antigensClass II MHC antigens • Present only on APC – Macrophages, Dendritic cells & B cells • It binds to exogenous antigens (microbes, soluble proteins) that are first internalised and processed in endosomes / lysosomes • Peptide - MHC complex is transported to the cell surface, where it is recognized by CD4 helper T cells APR-2015-CSBRP

- i.e. A&D go together. Therefore siblings who are identical for HLA-A&B loci are usually identical for HLA-D as well, something found in only 10% of unrelated donors.
- Complications with immunosuppressive therapy: Fatal infections, DM, Cataract and Malignancies.
- In a given family of siblings there is 1in4 chances for identicality (A&B) and 1in2 chances of having one identical allele (haplotype).

- Kidney Transplantation Graft Rejection
- Figure 6-24 Acute cellular rejection of a renal allograft. A, An intense mononuclear cell infiltrate occupies the space between the tubules. B, T cells (stained brown by the immunoperoxidase technique) are abundant in the interstitium and infiltrating a tubule. (Courtesy of Dr. Robert Colvin, Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.) In addition to causing tubular damage, CD8+ cells may also injure vascular endothelial cells, causing a so-called endothelitis. This form of cell-mediated vascular damage is limited to the endothelium and is distinct from the antibody-mediated vasculitis described later. The affected vessels have swollen endothelial cells, and at places the lymphocytes can be seen between the endothelium and the vessel wall. The recognition of cellular rejection is important because, in the absence of an accompanying arteritis, patients promptly respond to immunosuppressive therapy. Cyclosporine, a widely used immunosuppressive drug, is also nephrotoxic, and hence the histologic changes resulting from cyclosporine may be superimposed.
- Figure 6-26 Chronic rejection in a kidney allograft. A, Changes in the kidney in chronic rejection. B, Graft arteriosclerosis. The vascular lumen is replaced by an accumulation of smooth muscle cells and connective tissue in the vessel intima. (Courtesy of Dr. Helmut Rennke, Department of Pathology, Brigham and Women&apos;s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.) Chronic rejection is dominated by vascular changes, interstitial fibrosis, and tubular atrophy with loss of renal parenchyma ( Fig. 6-26 ). The vascular changes consist of dense, obliterative intimal fibrosis, principally in the cortical arteries. These vascular lesions result in renal ischemia, manifested by glomerular loss, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy, and shrinkage of the renal parenchyma. The glomeruli may show duplication of basement membranes; this appearance is sometimes called chronic transplant glomerulopathy. Chronically rejecting kidneys usually have interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrates containing large numbers of plasma cells and numerous eosinophils.
- Although immunosuppression has produced significant gains in terms of graft survival, immunosuppressive therapy carries its own risks. The price paid in the form of increased susceptibility to opportunistic fungal, viral, and other infections is not small. These patients are also at increased risk for developing EBV-induced lymphomas, human papillomavirus-induced squamous cell carcinomas, and Kaposi sarcoma ( Chapter 11 ). To circumvent the untoward effects of immunosuppression, much effort is being devoted to induce donor-specific tolerance in host T cells.[33] One strategy being pursued in experimental animals is to prevent host T cells from receiving costimulatory signals from dendritic cells during the initial phase of sensitization. This can be accomplished by interrupting the interaction between the B7 molecules on the dendritic cells of the graft donor with the CD28 receptors on host T cells, as, for example, by administration of proteins that bind to B7 costimulators. This, as discussed earlier, interrupts the second signal for T-cell activation and renders the T cells anergic or induces their apoptosis. Antibodies that block CD40 ligand are also being tried; they presumably work by inhibiting humoral immune responses and CTL generation. In addition, giving donor cells to graft recipients may prevent reactions to the graft, perhaps because the donor inoculum contains cells, such as immature dendritic cells, that induce tolerance to the donor alloantigens. This approach may result in long-term mixed chimerism, in which the recipient lives with the injected donor cells. Such approaches are being tried in patients.

- Acute GVH disease occurs within days to weeks after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Although any organ may be affected, the major clinical manifestations result from involvement of the immune system and epithelia of the skin, liver, and intestines. Involvement of skin in GVH disease is manifested by a generalized rash leading to desquamation in severe cases. Destruction of small bile ducts gives rise to jaundice, and mucosal ulceration of the gut results in bloody diarrhea. Despite considerable tissue damage, the affected tissues are not heavily infiltrated by lymphocytes. It is believed that in addition to direct cytotoxicity by CD8+ T cells, considerable damage is inflicted by cytokines released by the sensitized donor T cells.
