Effect of nonpermissive HLA-DPB1 mismatches after unrelated allogeneic transplantation with in vivo T-cell depletion.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the impact of donor-recipient HLA-DPB1 matching on outcomes of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with in vivo T-cell depletion using antithymocyte globulin (ATG) for patients with hematological malignancies. All donor-recipient pairs had high-resolution typing for HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DPB1, and HLA-DRB3/4/5 and were matched at HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1. HLA-DPB1 mismatches were categorized by immunogenicity of the DPB1 matching using the DPB T-cell epitope tool. Of 1004 donor-recipient pairs, 210 (21%) were DPB1 matched, 443 (44%) had permissive mismatches, 184 (18%) had nonpermissive mismatches, in graft-versus-host (GVH) direction, and 167 (17%) had nonpermissive mismatches in host-versus-graft (HVG) direction.
