Minor histocompatibility antigens.
ISTOCOMPATIBILITY antigens are a group of cell H membrane alloantigens that can trigger T-lymphocyte proliferative and/or cytolytic activity in vitro and may initiate graft rejection or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in vivo. AB0 and related antigens, whose presence on vascular endothelial cells may provoke antibody-mediated graft rejection, are excluded from this group because they do not in...
متن کاملHuman minor histocompatibility antigens.
Disparities in minor histocompatibility antigens between HLA-matched organ and bone marrow donors and recipients create a potential risk for graft failure and graft-versus-host disease. These conditions necessitate lifelong pharmacological immunosuppression of organ and bone marrow transplant recipients. Recent technical advances have resulted in the identification of the chemical nature of the...
متن کاملCD80-Transfected acute myeloid leukemia cells induce primary allogeneic T-cell responses directed at patient specific minor histocompatibility antigens and leukemia-associated antigens.
Despite sufficient levels of HLA class I and class II expression, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells usually fail to induce a significant T-cell response in vitro. Therefore, we investigated whether in vitro modifications could enhance the T-cell stimulatory properties of AML cells. AML cells were either cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-...
متن کاملDNA fusion vaccines induce epitope-specific cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells against human leukemia-associated minor histocompatibility antigens.
The graft-versus-leukemia effect of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation is believed to be mediated by T-cell recognition of minor histocompatibility antigens on recipient cells. For minor histocompatibility antigens HA-1 and HA-2, normal cell expression is restricted to hemopoietic cells, and boosting the immune response to these antigens may potentiate graft-versus-leukemia effect without acc...
متن کاملHapMap scanning of novel human minor histocompatibility antigens.
Minor histocompatibility antigens (mHags) are molecular targets of allo-immunity associated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and involved in graft-versus-host disease, but they also have beneficial antitumor activity. mHags are typically defined by host SNPs that are not shared by the donor and are immunologically recognized by cytotoxic T cells isolated from post-HSCT patien...
