Figure 3. Post-transplantation HLA antibody rebound reflects previous HLA antigen mismatches but not pre-transplantation baseline HLA antibody strength.

Figure 3

HLA phenotypes for the recipient and three renal allografts are provided. This patient received rituximab induction and experienced rebounds in non-DSA HLA antibodies but no increase in DSA directed toward the current (3rd) allograft. MFI values for HLA antibodies detected prior to desensitization and one month following the 3rd transplantation are shown. All HLA antibodies specific for previous HLA mismatches are shown and the asterisk highlights antibody reactivity toward a known cross-reactive epitope in a previous mismatched antigen (HLA-A1 and HLA-A24).
