PG - 851-6 LID - 10.1016/j.humimm.2010.06.003 [doi] AB - We have shown previously that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immunogenicity, defined by the physiochemical properties of mismatched amino acids, predicts humoral alloimmunity, and now report the effect on long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation. The influence of HLA-A and -B mismatch, number of amino acid mismatches (after interlocus subtraction) and their physiochemical (electrostatic and hydrophobic) disparity on the outcome of fully HLA matched and single HLA-A or -B mismatched deceased donor kidney transplants undertaken in the United Kingdom (1990-2005) were analyzed (n = 5,247). Grafts with a single HLA-A or -B mismatch had significantly lower survival than fully matched transplants (81.9% vs 84.2% at 5 years, p = 0.004). However, single HLA-A or -B mismatched grafts with no or one amino acid mismatch had better survival than grafts with two or more amino acid mismatches (89.3% vs 81.8% at 5 years, HR 1.5, p = 0.03). The number of mismatched amino acids was an independent predictor of transplant survival after adjusting for the underlying HLA matching effect (p = 0.02). Physiochemical disparity scores correlated closely with amino acid mismatches and provided no additional predictive value. The immunogenicity of HLA class I alloantigens defined at the level of amino acid sequence correlates more closely with outcome after renal transplantation than conventional serologic HLA matching.
