The Status of Transplantation 1998:Why consider desensitization?
• ABO Experience Japan – fair outcomesABO Experience Japan – fair outcomes
U.S. Standard was avoidance PPCN cross U.S. Standard was avoidance PPCN cross match unless the patient has negative match unless the patient has negative cross match on archived serum cross match on archived serum ≥≥ 6 6 monthsmonths

Why Believe Desensitization Should Succeed?
• Two cases in same week for cadaver transplantTwo cases in same week for cadaver transplant
-- Two recipients with known marked sensitization Two recipients with known marked sensitization presented for transplants; two samples for cross presented for transplants; two samples for cross matching drawn approximately one week apart; matching drawn approximately one week apart; first positive AHG cross match, second negativefirst positive AHG cross match, second negative
-- Transplants done successfully with 10 day T Transplants done successfully with 10 day T cell depletion with OKT3cell depletion with OKT3
Hypothesis at time: with newer anti-T cell depleting Hypothesis at time: with newer anti-T cell depleting agents, perhaps Ab depletion will work since only agents, perhaps Ab depletion will work since only need to be cross match negative currently, even for just need to be cross match negative currently, even for just one dayone day

- - upregulation of complement regulatory upregulation of complement regulatory mechanisms: thus C4d stain may be salutary in mechanisms: thus C4d stain may be salutary in absence of signs of injury absence of signs of injury - replacement of graft donor endothelial cells - replacement of graft donor endothelial cells with recipient endothelium with recipient endothelium - appearance of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2, - appearance of anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2, BCL-X, HO – 1BCL-X, HO – 1
