Abstract
Eplet 52SK is unique in the HLA eplet registry as targeting the whole family of DQA1*01 alleles. It is proposed as an antibody-verified eplet but has not been validated enough to deserve this label. Especially, confusion can occur with reactivity targeting the 52PQ eplet which is present on the DQB1*05 and DQB1*06 alleles families, as DQ molecule stability imposes DQA1*01 to selectively associate with these DQ-β families only. Using two Luminex single antigen (LSA) assays from two vendors, beads bearing DR-α/DQ6 heterodimers, a special build LSA panel of additional DQ beads, and an adsorption/elution strategy relying on cells from deceased donors or recombinant cells solely expressing one DQ antigen, we definitely established the antibody-verified status of eplet 52SK using patients' sera reacting only against the DQ5 and DQ6 beads of the One Lambda LSA panel in routine patients' follow up. We also show that reactivity against this eplet is not a rare event among anti-DQ1 immunisation. This study further strengthens the importance of considering the DQA1 locus in immunological studies of HLA and in organ allocation strategies.
期刊介绍:
HLA, the journal, publishes articles on various aspects of immunogenetics. These include the immunogenetics of cell surface antigens, the ontogeny and phylogeny of the immune system, the immunogenetics of cell interactions, the functional aspects of cell surface molecules and their natural ligands, and the role of tissue antigens in immune reactions. Additionally, the journal covers experimental and clinical transplantation, the relationships between normal tissue antigens and tumor-associated antigens, the genetic control of immune response and disease susceptibility, and the biochemistry and molecular biology of alloantigens and leukocyte differentiation. Manuscripts on molecules expressed on lymphoid cells, myeloid cells, platelets, and non-lineage-restricted antigens are welcomed. Lastly, the journal focuses on the immunogenetics of histocompatibility antigens in both humans and experimental animals, including their tissue distribution, regulation, and expression in normal and malignant cells, as well as the use of antigens as markers for disease.
