In clinical transplantation, donor specific antibodies (DSA) are associated with hyperacute and acute humoral rejection. Complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) test is the most common assay used to detect DSA and reveal the compatibility between potential donor and recipient. Previous studies showed advantages and disadvantages of the various experiments frequently used before transplantation. Basically, the medical personnel required extensive experiences to choose a feasible examination for donor-recipient matching. We encountered a 41-year-old man with type II diabetes mellitus and end stage renal disease who was a candidate for pancreas before kidney (PBK) transplantation. In the initial work-up he was found reactive by CDC test with 5 cadavers’ cells. In this report, we set up an experimental procedure to demonstrate that the positive CDC test was due to the patients’ IgM autoantibodies. One year after pancreas transplantation, the patient tolerated the graft well without showing rejection or other immune responses. |
