Objectives: HLA Class I, HPA (Human platelet antigen), CD36 allo/isoantibodies, and platelet glycoprotein autoantibodies are the primary causes of immune-mediated platelet transfusion refractoriness (iPTR). Detecting these antibodies and selecting antigen-negative platelets for transfusion effectively manages iPTR, but large-scale data on platelet antibody distribution in the Chinese population are scarce.
Methods: From Jan 2021 to Dec 2023, 2073 patients with suspected iPTR underwent platelet cross-matching via solid-phase red blood cell adherence. Sera from those with positive cross-matching (≥1 donor) were analyzed for platelet antibodies using Luminex. Correlations between antibody prevalence, age, gender, and diseases were statistically analyzed.
Results: 621 patients, 30.0% (621/2073) had positive cross-matching with ≥1 donor. Furthermore, 374 (60.2%) patients had platelet antibodies. Moreover, 429 antibodies were detected in these patients, and the constituent ratios of HLA Class I alloantibodies, HPA alloantibodies, autoantibodies (GPIIb/IIIa, etc), and CD36 isoantibodies were 78.09%, 4.65%, 17.01%, and 0.23%, respectively. Abs ranked as follows: HLA Class I > GPIIb/IIIa > GPIa/IIa > HPA-5b, GPIb/IX > HPA-3a > HPA-1b, 2b > HPA-3b, 4b, CD36. Lastly, positive platelet antibodies prevalence correlated with age and sex in leukemia and solid tumor patient groups.
Discussion: This study clarified platelet antibody distribution in Chinese iPTR patients. Besides HLA Class I antibodies, autoantibodies against platelet glycoproteins play a key role. Among HPA antibodies, HPA-5b may predominate in the Chinese population instead of HPA-1a.

Behçet disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorder, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*51 is considered to be the strongest genetic susceptibility factor. The integrated stress response (ISR), defined by the eIF2α/ATF4 axis, is a signaling network that maintains protein homeostasis and regulates innate immunity in eukaryotic cells; pathological activation of this pathway can affect the immune response and cause various diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of the ISR signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of BD.

Single Antigen Bead (SAB) assays are the cornerstone of HLA antibody detection in transplant immunology. However, discrepancies in mean/median fluorescence intensity (MFI) values between the two commercially available assays raise concerns about result interpretation and assay interoperability. Using 281 well-characterized serum samples positive for a broad range of HLA antibodies, we evaluated 118 core HLA antibody specificities for MFI concordance across platforms.

Background: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine targeted monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic payloads and are an emerging modality in systemic cancer therapy. Thirteen ADCs are Food and Drug Administration approved, with many more in development. However, design and use remain challenging, with issues including on/off-target toxicity, resistance from prior exposure to payload classes, and optimal target/payload selection.

HLA class I allele loss in acquired aplastic anemia (AA) represents an immune escape from the T cell-mediated pathogenesis. We investigated the impact of loss-prone HLA alleles on the hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes using registry data of 875 Japanese patients with acquired AA. HLA associations were evident exclusively among 399 patients who received HCT within 1 year of the diagnosis, consistent with the predominance of HLA loss in this group.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly efficient antigen-presenting cells located throughout body tissues and surfaces. Initial studies described these cells as potent activators of naïve T lymphocytes; however, subsequent research has demonstrated that DCs can also regulate T cell activation, survival, and effector functions. DCs possessing T cell regulatory properties, known as regulatory DCs (regDCs), are phenotypically immature cells with modified functionality.
