Highly HLA-sensitized kidney transplant candidates are difficult to desensitize, which reduces their chances of receiving a transplant.
We administered tocilizumab as a monotherapy (8 mg/kg once a mo) to 14 highly sensitized kidney transplant candidates. Highest mean fluorescence intensities of anti-HLA antibodies obtained before and after tocilizumab administration were compared from raw and diluted sera.
The administration of tocilizumab significantly reduced dominant anti-HLA antibody sensitization. However, this decrease in mean fluorescence intensities was minor compared with the initial values.
Tocilizumab as a monotherapy was not sufficient to allow highly sensitized kidney-transplant candidates to undergo transplantation and, therefore, was not an effective desensitization method.
高度HLA致敏的肾移植候选者难以脱敏,这降低了他们接受移植的机会。
我们对14名高度致敏的肾移植候选者采用托珠单抗单药治疗(每月一次,8mg/kg)。比较托珠单抗给药前后从原始血清和稀释血清中获得的抗HLA抗体的最高平均荧光强度。
托珠单抗的给药显著降低了主要抗HLA抗体致敏。然而,与初始值相比,平均荧光强度的降低幅度较小。
托珠单抗单药治疗不足以使高度致敏的肾移植候选者接受移植,因此不是一种有效的脱敏方法。
