The History of Hla and Transplantation

چکیده

The origins of the humoral theory of transplantation, which states that allografts are rejected by antibodies (and not directly by cells), can be traced back 100 years. This is when the method of detecting antibodies was first introduced. The methods for detection have become increasingly more sophisticated, permitting development of more specific proof of the hypothesis. Evidence has accumulated that antibodies cause: hyper acute rejection, acute rejection, and chronic rejection of grafts. Moreover, rejection of transplants of essentially all solid organs can now be associated with antibodies: kidneys, hearts, lungs, liver, and islets. Currently, new studies show that removal of antibodies leads to enhanced survival of transplants. If eventually, achievement of high graft survival rates result from antibody detection and removal, the humoral theory of transplantation can be considered to be validated.

The Predictive Value of HLA-DR Matching and Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Renal Allograft Acute Rejection: A Living-unrelated Donor (LURD) Study

Background: In addition to Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) compatibility, gene polymorphisms in cytokines might also be important in the quality of allogeneic immune response. Objective: To evaluate the influence of HLA-DR matching and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms on acute rejection after living-unrelated donor (LURD) kidney transplantation. Methods: A total of 42 renal transplants pe...

Evaluation of Serum Interleukin-21 and HLA-C1 Polymorphism in Pediatrician Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Early Diagnosis of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Background: Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a strategy used for treatment of different malignant diseases. However, success of allo-HSCT can be hampered by graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Natural killer (NK) cells may play an important role in activating antigen presenting cells and subsequent activation of T cells. The main purpose of this study was the evaluation...

HLA-A*26 and Susceptibility of Iranian Patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) includes a wide range of diseases with different clinical and biological features. NHL is usually presented as localized or generalized lymphadenopathy. It has been suggested that the HLA class I and II are associated with susceptibility to NHL. Different ethnic groups have been found to have different HLA class I and II alleles which affect NHL. Objective...

بهبود بقا بیماران مبتلا به لوسمی لنفوبلاستیک حاد فاقد HLA-A3/11 برای KIR3DL2 دهنده پس از پیوند سلول های بنیادی خونساز از خواهر یا برادر با HLA مشابه بدون تخلیه سلول T

A potential factor influencing hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) outcome is the presence of donor-derived alloreactive natural killer (NK) cells. This retrospective analysis studied the impact of NK alloreactivity based on the missing KIR ligand, for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients undergoing non-T-cell depleted HLA-identical sibling HS...

تأثیر GVHD مزمن بر بقا بیماران لوسمی میلوئیدی حاد پس از پیوند سلول‌های بنیادی خون محیطی از خواهر یا برادر با HLA مشابه بدون تخلیه سلول T

Background : Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is among major complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, and also is an important factor affecting the outcome of transplantation. An increased incidence of GVHD has been suggested following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) transplantation, however, how this affects survival is not yet well clear. In this stu...
