Isohemagglutinin assays employing red blood cells (RBCs) are the most common assays used to measure antibody titer in ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi KTx). However, ABO antigens expressed on RBCs are not identical to those of kidney and antibody titers do not always correlate with clinical outcome. We previously reported that CD31 was the main protein linked to ABO antigens on kidney endothelial cells (KECs), which was different from those on RBCs.

Immunosuppressants are associated with serious and often life-threatening adverse effects. To optimize immunotherapy, a tool that measures the immune reserve is necessary. We validated that a cell-based assay that measures TNF-α production by CD1416 intermediate monocytes following stimulation with EBV peptides has high sensitivity for the detection of over-immunosuppression (OIS) events.

Purpose Of Review: The current tools to proactively guide and individualize immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation are limited. Despite continued improvements in posttransplant outcomes, the adverse effects of over-immunosuppression or under-immunosuppression are common. The present review is intended to highlight recent advances in individualized immunosuppression.
