PG - 416-422 LID - S1600-6135(22)24777-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ajt.2022.11.001 [doi] AB - Antibodies against foreign human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules are barriers to successful organ transplantation. B cell-depleting treatments are used to reduce anti-HLA antibodies but have limited efficacy. We hypothesized that the primary source for anti-HLA antibodies is long-lived plasma cells, which are ineffectively targeted by B cell depletion. To study this, we screened for anti-HLA antibodies in a prospectively enrolled cohort of 49 patients who received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CARTx), targeting naive and memory B cells (CD19-targeted, n = 21) or plasma cells (BCMA-targeted, n = 28) for hematologic malignancies. Longitudinal samples were collected before and up to 1 year after CARTx. All individuals were in sustained remission. We identified 4 participants with anti-HLA antibodies before CD19-CARTx. Despite B cell depletion, anti-HLA antibodies and calculated panel reactive antibody scores were stable for 1 year after CD19-CARTx. Only 1 BCMA-CARTx recipient had pre-CARTx low-level anti-HLA antibodies, with no follow-up samples available. These data implicate CD19(neg) long-lived plasma cells as an important source for anti-HLA antibodies, a model supported by infrequent HLA sensitization in BCMA-CARTx subjects receiving previous plasma cell-targeted therapies. Thus, plasma cell-targeted therapies may be more effective against HLA antibodies, thereby enabling improved access to organ transplantation and rejection management.
