Abstract

Recipient IgG immunity against leukoreduced donor platelets is dependent on indirect T-cell allorecognition and is suppressed in vivo by inhibitors (aminoguanidine, AMG) of inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS). To examine recipient processing pathways of donor platelet antigens, enriched macrophages (antigenpresenting cells [APC]) from BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice were pulsed with allogeneic C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) platelets and transfused weekly into naive BALB/c mice. Platelet-pulsed APC stimulated IgG antidonor antibody production in 45% of recipients by the second transfusion and in 100% by the sixth transfusion; this response was enhanced by pulsing in the presence of interferon-γ. By the sixth transfusion, high-titer IgG1 (mean titer 4990) and... (More)

Recipient IgG immunity against leukoreduced donor platelets is dependent on indirect T-cell allorecognition and is suppressed in vivo by inhibitors (aminoguanidine, AMG) of inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS). To examine recipient processing pathways of donor platelet antigens, enriched macrophages (antigenpresenting cells [APC]) from BALB/c (H-2(d)) mice were pulsed with allogeneic C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) platelets and transfused weekly into naive BALB/c mice. Platelet-pulsed APC stimulated IgG antidonor antibody production in 45% of recipients by the second transfusion and in 100% by the sixth transfusion; this response was enhanced by pulsing in the presence of interferon-γ. By the sixth transfusion, high-titer IgG1 (mean titer 4990) and IgG2a (1933) isotypes specific for donor major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigens were detected. Platelet pulsing in the presence of AMG or colchicine significantly inhibited the ability of APC to stimulate IgG alloantibodies; only 50% (P < .005) and 20% (P < .0001) of recipients, respectively, produced antibodies by the sixth transfusion. AMG inhibition was reversed by the addition of L-arginine, the substrate for INOS. In contrast, pulsing in the presence of chloroquine, the proteasome inhibitory peptide MG115, or Brefeldin A enhanced APC immunity (70-100% of recipients antibody positive by the second transfusion [P < .05]); these agents allowed the pulsed APC to stimulate IgG2a but inhibited IgG1 production and this correlated with a reduction In serum interleukin (IL)-4 levels. The results suggest that for donor platelet antigens to stimulate IgG alloantibodies, recipient APC use the essential generation of nitric oxide and a noncytosolic, pH-independent processing pathway, which can be exploited as an effective immunotherapy target to further inhibit alloimmunization against leukoreduced platelets.
