Research Abstract

We investigated new minor histocompatibility antigens (mHas) that are preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells using two strategies.
In the first method, we tried to induce allo reactive T lymphocytes from 38 patients who had received HLA-matched allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Twelve T lymphocyte lines specific for the recipient antigens were generated by in vitro stimulation of donor-derived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). One of thee T cells, Tycell-A, generated from a patient with Non-Hodgikin Lymphoma was predominantly CD4 positive, and recognized an allogeneic antigen expressed in 11 of 13 HLA-DPB1^*0501-positive EBV-transformed B cell lines (EBV-LCL) or HLA-DPB1 ^*0501-positive phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PHA blasts), however, the T cell didn't recognize any HLA-DPB1 ^*0501-positive fibroblasts or HLA-DPB1 *0501-ne ative EBV LCL and PHA blasts. This T cell line also recognized 4 of 5 HL … More A-DPB1 ^*0501-positive leukemia and lymphoma cells. These results suggest that T cell-A recognizes a novel minor histocompatibility antigen (mHa) that is referentially expressed in hematopoietic cells. Another T cell line, T cell-B, was obtained from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). It also consists of CD4 positive cells, and recognized mismatched HLA-DQB1 ^*0303. T cell-B did not recognize IFN-γ stimulated recipient's skin fibroblasts. It was revealed that expression of HLA-DQ in non-hematopoietic cells, such as skin fibroblasts, hepatocytes, HUVEC, was merely upregulated by IFN-γ stimulation, however, MHC class II was constitutively expressed in hematopoietic cells and most leukemia and lymphoma cells. Therefore T cells that recognize mismatch HLA-DQ might play an important role only in graft-versus leukemia (GVL) effect but not in graft-versus host disease (GVHD).
In the second method we chose some candidates of mHa from molecules with codin SNPs (single nucleotide of polymorphisms). We designed 8 peptides that involve SNP lesion of proteinase3 and try to induce peptide-specific-T cells. Unfortunately we failed to induce reactive T cells. Mismatch of SNP did not related to the relapse rate according to the analysis of 35 pairs of recipient and donor. Less
