摘要
Abstract Background Xenoantigens other than Gal, Neu5Gc, and Sda may be playing a role in pig graft rejection. We investigated the incidence of antibodies to unknown pig xenoantigen in different human groups. Methods We collected blood from TKO/hCD55 pigs ( n = 3), and isolated PBMCs and RBCs. Serum samples were collected from (i) healthy human volunteers ( n = 43), (ii) patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) ( n = 87), (iii) the same patients after kidney allotransplantation ( n = 50), and (iv) renal allotransplant recipients experiencing T cell‐mediated rejection (allo‐TCMR, n = 10). The sera were initially incubated with TKO/hCD55 pRBCs (1 × 10 8 cells) for 1 h to absorb anti‐pig antibodies (except against SLA and possibly other antigens not expressed on pRBCs) and then the serum (absorbed or unabsorbed) was tested for antibody binding and complement‐dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) to TKO/hCD55 pig PBMCs. Results A significant reduction in IgM/IgG binding and CDC was observed in the absorbed sera. Serum obtained before and after renal allotransplantation showed no significant difference in IgM or IgG binding to, or in CDC of, TKO/hCD55 pig cells. IgM antibodies (but rarely IgG) against unknown xenoantigens expressed on TKO/hCD55 PBMCs, possibly against swine leukocyte antigens, were documented in healthy humans, patients with ESRD, and those with renal allografts undergoing acute T cell rejection. IgM (but not CDC) was higher in patients experiencing allo‐TCMR. Conclusion Human sera contain IgM antibodies against unknown pig xenoantigens expressed on TKO/hCD55 pPBMCs. Although not confirmed in the present study, the targets for these antibodies may include swine leukocyte antigens.
