A good match (1/2)5
Our immune system attacks things it doesn’t recognize, including cells and tissues.
Stem cell transplants can be rejected by the recipient's immune system.
Therefore, the transplanted stem cells must match the recipient closely enough that they won't be recognized as intruders.

A good match (2/2)6
To determine whether the donor is a good immunological match with the recipient, a tissue typing test is performed using blood samples from both individuals.
This test identifies certain proteins, called HLA antigens, which reside on the surfaces of specific immune cells.
If the donor and the recipient have identical HLA antigens, they are a good match.

DNA11
Although 99.9% of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, enough of the DNA is different to distinguish one individual from another, unless they are monozygotic twins.

Beyond the Double Helix12
Human Genome Project (HGP) 2004 There are approximately 23,000 genes
in human beings Understanding how these genes express
themselves will provide clues to how diseases are caused.

What is HLA?13
Human Leukocyte Antigens The proteins encoded by HLAs are those
on the outer part of body cells that are unique to that person.
Plays a key role in immune response More polymorphic than red blood groups
ABO system: 4 possible combinations (A, B, AB, O)
HLA system: > 1 million combinations
![Page 14: HLA Matching](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/5560e0d1d8b42a016e8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HLA antigens 14
=>antibody production ABO: natural antibodies HLA: not-natural antibodies:
as a result of an immunologic challenge of a foreign material containing non-self HLAs via
Pregnancy Blood transfusion Transplantation

Origins – Jean Dausset (F)Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 198015
1954: anti-leucocyte agglutinating substance 1958: isoantibody specific to leucocytes 1965: all leucocyte antigens = part of
complex 1968: renamed HLA 1980: Nobel Prize => made it feasible to publish the first genetic map
and, later on, the first physical map of the human genome.

barrier to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation.

DNA profiling (°10/09/1984, UK)= DNA testing = DNA typing = genetic fingerprinting17
not = full genome sequencing repetitive ("repeat") sequences that are
highly variable variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) short tandem repeats (STRs)
Siblings: VNTR loci are very similar
Unrelated individuals: VNTR loci are very different

HLA2 Classs: I and II
19
Each class of HLA is represented by more than one locus (polygeny).
class I loci are HLA-A,-B and –C class II loci HLA-DR, -DQ and -DP. All the HLA genes map within a single
region of the chromosome (hence the term Complex).

Chromosome 622
The HLA complex is located within the
6p21.3 region on the short arm of human
chromosome 6 and contains more than
220 genes of diverse function.
Many of the genes encode proteins of the
immune system.

Haplotypes28
All loci are expressed co-dominantly, that is to say both the set of alleles inherited from one's father and the set inherited from one's mother are expressed on each cell.
The set of linked alleles found on the same chromosome is called a haplotype.

GVH en GVL (1/2)36
The most impressive impact of novel DNA typing methods concerns matching for allogeneic HSC transplantation because subtle serologically silent sequence differences between allelic subtypes are recognized by alloreactive T-cells with serious consequences for graft outcome.
![Page 37: HLA Matching](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/5560e0d1d8b42a016e8b4adc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
GVH and GVL (2/2)37
Allogeneic stem cell transplantations have the therapeutic effect of eliminating leukemia cells, with the danger of developing graft versus host disease. When donor and patient are HLA-identical, these effects are due to minor histocompatibility antigens, which are expressed from polymorphic genes.Identifing which genes and which peptides cause the GvL effect, without the development of GvHD.

Now the HLA-matched donor is ready to have her stem cells collected38
