4 8//07 Outline of the Presentation Kidney Transplantation (KTx): USA vs. India Testing performed at UCSF for KTx Protocol used at UCSF for KTx Testing Details HLA Typing, Antibody, and Crossmatch Optimal protocol for KTx in India? 0 Kidney Transplantation USA vs. India. Donor. Cost The cost for a kidney transplantation + first-year immunosuppression: USA - $6,000 India - $5,000 to 5,000 Most kidney Tx in USA are from Deceased Donors Most kidney Tx in India are from Living Donors UCSF Test Menu HLA Typing HLA-A, -B, -C, DRB/3//5, -DQB, -DQA, -DPB, -DPA. Intermediate resolution level using Luminex rsso/real-time PCR/SSP. HLA Antibody Testing Single Antigen Bead (SAB) assay. These tests identify HLA antibody specificities and their relative strengths expressed in Mean Florescence Intensity (MFI). Ambiguous results are re-evaluated by Multi Antigen Bead assay (PRA). Crossmatch (VXM) Virtual Crossmatch (VXM) is an assessment of immunological compatibility based on the patient s HLA antibody profile compared to the donor s HLA antigens. Flow Cytometry Crossmatch (FXM) determines if donor-specific IgG antibodies bind to donor T & B cells. If the patient was treated with Rituximab or anti-thymoglobulin, the B cell flow crossmatch will likely be false positive, and may need Pronase xm.

5 Pre-Tx Post-Tx 8//07 UCSF Kidney Transplantation Protocol Phase Living Donor Tx Deceased Donor Tx Initial HLA typing- Patient & Donors HLA antibody by SAB Initial XM by Virtual XM HLA typing- Patient HLA antibody by SAB - List unacceptable antigens in UNOS Waitlist HLA antibody by SAB - Top of the list patients for every 3 months - Update the unacceptable antigens in UNOS Transplant Final XM by Flow XM - Patient s serum (<30 days old, Antibody tested) HLA typing- Donor Pre-transplant XM by Virtual XM Antibody testing by SAB to identify the donor specific antibodies (DSA) Recipients who had pre-transplant DSA and/or CPRA >80% At wk., mo., and 6 mo. (+biopsy) post-tx; if rejection is suspected due graft dysfunctions 3 HLA Typing Basic protocol for DNA typing of HLA DNA isolation DNA PCR Sequence-specific priming (SSP) Gel-based detection Melting-Curve detection Sequence-specific oligonucleotide (SSO) hybridization Dot-blot Blot-dot Microarray Luminex rsso Sequencing-based typing (SBT) Sanger NGS 5 5
