Abbreviations: DSA, donor specific antibody; cPRA, calculated PRA; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; PHPI, purified human pancreatic islets.

a

Anti-HLA antibodies developed while the subject was on the waiting list with the pretransplant cPRA increasing to 96%. This result was not available at the time of islet transplantation, and the subject received a PHPI product in the presence of a shared kidney and islet DSA.

b

Weak HLA class I DSA (HLA-A2, 600-800 MFI) developed posttransplant to the kidney and first islet donor. In addition, weak DSA were directed to the kidney and second islet cell donor (DQ7,8,9, 200-1000 MFI). These antibodies were below the predetermined threshold for positivity.

c

Possible weak renal DSA developed posttransplant to HLA-DQ5,6 (MFI value in the 200-1800) which was below the predetermined threshold for positivity.
