AntibodyA protein synthesized by B lymphocyte in
response to antigen and resides in the plasma Expected antibody –
Naturally occurring Example
Anti A, Anti-B antibodies Unexpected antibody
Exposure to donor blood through transfusion Exposure during pregnancy Example:
Anti-D, Anti-Kell antibodies

ABO System The antigens present on the
surface of RBC are numerous Several hundred antigens
present on surface ABO system
A antigen B antigen AB antigen O lacks both A and B
antigen Rh system
49 antigens make up the Rh system
5 antigens most important: D, C,E,c,e
RBC

ABO antibodies
RULES:
WE FORM ANTIBODIES TO THE ANTIGENS WE LACK
WE DO NOT FORM ANTIBODIES TO OUR OWN ANTIGENS
![Page 8: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Blood Group A
Patient has A antigen on RBC
Patient lacks B antigen
Therefore patient will form Anti-B antibodies, but NOT Anti-A antibodies.
![Page 9: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Blood Group B
Patient has B antigen on RBC
Patient lacks A antigen
Therefore patient forms Anti-A antibodies but NOT Anti-B antibodies
![Page 10: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

AB group
Patient have both A and B antigen on RBC
Therefore patient does NOT form any AB antibodies.

B antigen
Patient forms both:
Anti-A antibody
Anti-B antibody

HLA & ABO inherited separately HLA: Chromosome 6 (6p21.3) contains 200
genes, expressed on WBC
ABO: located on Chromosome 9, expressed on RBC
Patient & donor may be 6/6 HLA match but disparate ABO groups
![Page 13: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

HLA system Human Leukocyte Antigen
system expressed on all nucleated cells
Mature circulating RBCs do not have nuclei, do not express HLA antigens
Look at HLA antigens to determine if donor is a match Class I: HLA A, B, C Class II: HLA DP, DQ, DR HLA-A, B, DRB1 (Cw) are
most important for matching
![Page 14: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

HLA and ABO Antigens
HLA compatibility
Strongest predictor for occurrence of severe GVHD
Single most important factor to consider in selecting donor

ABO mismatch transplant ABO mismatch does not:
Affect engraftment since stem cells do not have ABO antigens
The lack of the ABO antigens allow for homing and engraftment of stem cells regardless of ABO incompatibility
Does NOT affect neutrophil, platelet engraftment, graft failure or rejection.

ABO mismatched transplants Complications
Require more transfusion Delayed RBC engraftment or RBC aplasia
Acute RBC hemolysis Acute hemolysis of RBC with infusion of HPC product
Delayed RBC hemolysis After engraftment, marrow produces donor RBC
incompatible with recipient antibodies. After engraftment, ABO antibodies produced against
recipient RBC Patient develops a positive DAT and hemolysis
Can be life threatening Complex transfusion requirements
![Page 17: Serologic changes and transfusion requirements after ABO incompatible stem cell transplant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/568144e8550346895db1b9ca/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Intravascular hemolysis Antibody binds intravascular to RBC activating
complement Complement causes pores in RBC membrane Free hgb escapes, hgb drops, LDH increases, haptoglobin
decreases Binds NO2 Renal vasoconstriction, ischemia, tubal necrosis, renal failure
Complement activation generates Anaphylatoxins, C3a & C5a
Proinflammatory cytokines activated IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF Fever, Hypotension, Activate WBC and clotting cascade
Disseminated Intravascular coagulation Death

ABO incompatibilities in transplant Major
Recipient has ABO antibodies directed against donor RBC
Minor Donor has ABO antibodies directed against recipient RBC
Bidirectional: Major and Minor ABO Incompatibility: Recipient has ABO antibodies directed against donor red
cells AND
Donor has ABO antibodies directed against recipient red cells.

Delayed complications Delayed hemolysis after RBC engraftment
Persistent recipient anti-A abs 120-605 days post transplant
Hemolyze donor A RBC produced from marrow. Delay RBC engraftment
20% of patients experience RBC aplasia (severe)
Reticulocytopenia persists > 60 days RBC precursors not present in marrow aspirate

Minimize Risk Apheresis collections can minimize RBC
contamination of product to hematocrit < 2-3%.
Remove RBCs from the graft below 10-20 ML during processing of stem cell product

Minimize Risk Remove donor plasma and antibody from
graft to preventhemolysis at transplant
Biggest risk is 5-14 days after transplant, the donor lymphocytes create antibodies against recipient RBC cells.
Positive DAT and hemolysis of RBC Severe hemolysis can lead to multisystem organ
failure Death

Minimize Risk Deplete the donor graft of RBC and plasma.
Biggest risk is 5-14 days after transplant, the donor lymphocytes create antibodies against recipient RBC cells.
Delayed RBC engraftment, pure RBC aplasia Positive DAT and hemolysis of RBC Can lead to multisystem organ failure Death
Bidirectional ABO incompatibility have significantly increased risk of mortality over major and minor incompatibilities

Transfusion support Difficult to select components
Recipient antibodies can persist for weeks or months after transplant and engraftment
Donor lymphocytes produce antibodies against recipient RBC
Patients are chimeras Patient has 2 distinct blood group RBC populations Donor RBC production increases after engraftment,
incompatible with persistent recipient antibody Concerns
Intravascular hemolysis in major and bidirectional mismatches
Delayed hemolysis in minor mismatches Select product that will not exacerbate hemolysis Transfusion support can affect overall survival

ABO/Rh incompatible transplant transfusion Phase I: Prior to transplant Phase II: Transplant until engraftment
Recipient antibodies are still detectable Chimera: recipient and donor type RBC detectable Front and back types don’t match
Interpret as undetermined type
Phase III: Complete engraftment Patient RBC type like donor RBCs Patient ABO antibodies are same as donor. Requires confirmed new blood type on 2 separate
occasions to switch blood products to donor type

RBC Alloantibody incompatibility Have major and minor incompatibilities of
other antigens Rh system: Anti- D, C, E Anti – Kell or Kidd abs are particularly bad Major: Recipient has antibodies to donor antigens
Ex: Kell antigen + donor, recipient with Anti-Kell abs Minor: Donor has antibodies to recipient RBC antigen
Ex: donor with Anti-E abs, E antigen + recipient
HPC product Keep low hct during collection Remove plasma from HPC product Provide antigen negative, crossmatch compatible
RBC for transfusion.

Alloimmunization to RBC antigens Despite immunosuppression, may still see
immune response to foreign RBC antigens. Complicates transfusion by now requiring
antigen negative blood in addition to ABO transfusion requirements.
2 studies have demonstrated red cell alloimmunization of 2-8% in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.

Summary Complex transfusion requirements See acute and delayed hemolysis Lower overall survival in minor and
bidirectional mismatched grafts. Delayed RBC engraftment or red blood cell
aplasia. ABO doesn’t affect engraftment of stem cell
product, lymphocytes or granuloctyes Studies have found ABO incompatibility
bigger risk of mortality in certain cases: based on disease condition reduced intensity conditioning receiving unrelated grafts.
