- Abstract
Background: The basophil activation test (BAT), performed with patient blood samples and supernatants from transfused blood, was developed to elucidate the mechanistic relationship between transfusion and the resultant allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs). This test cannot be performed on myelosuppressed patients and neonates because of the absence of basophils. Therefore, we devised the passive immune basophil activation test (pi-BAT) using patients' plasma and residual transfused blood as sources of immunoglobulin E and allergen, respectively, and the basophils of healthy volunteers served as a source of the responder cells. The sensitivity and specificity of the pi-BAT, however, remained largely unknown., Study Design and Methods: In this study, the pi-BAT was performed on 31 patients with nonhemolytic transfusion reactions including nine non-ATR and 22 ATR (12 mild and 10 moderate-to-severe) cases to examine its sensitivity and specificity., Results: Nine of the 10 cases with moderate-to-severe ATR tested positive, whereas all the non-ATR cases negative, strongly indicating immunoglobulin E and allergens are involved in the pathogenesis underlying the blood transfusion-triggered adverse effects., Conclusion: Thus, we propose that pi-BAT can be used to detect moderate-to-severe ATRs and their underlying mechanisms., (© 2019 AABB.)

- Abstract
Background: In most cases of allergic transfusion reactions (ATRs), the causative agents have not been identified and the mechanisms are largely unknown, with a few exceptions. The basophil activation test (BAT) was recently introduced in the field of transfusion to investigate the causal relationships between ATRs and transfusion, as well as the mechanisms behind them., Study Design and Methods: The BAT was used to screen the residual supernatants (SNs) of 43 blood components associated with serious ATRs for those that can activate basophils of many healthy volunteers. The SNs were then fractionated by centrifugal ultrafiltration and protein G column chromatography and each separated fraction was reexamined by the BAT., Results: Of the 43 such blood components, one activated basophils from 19 of 21 healthy volunteers. In the blood component, the IgG antibody against IgE was identified as a putative causative agent., Conclusion: Blood donors who possessed the IgG antibody against IgE may be dangerous to transfusion recipients. The BAT would be useful in identifying such high-risk blood donors, when it is used to screen the blood components associated with serious ATRs for residual SNs that can activate the basophils of many healthy volunteers., (© 2018 AABB.)

- Abstract
Background: In previous studies, we demonstrated that the basophil activation test, which is performed using patient blood and the supernatants from transfused blood components, was able to elucidate not only the causative relationship between allergic transfusion reactions and the transfusion but also the mechanisms behind allergic transfusion reactions. However, for a large number of allergic transfusion reactions, patients are in a state of myelosuppression, and the basophil activation test cannot be performed for these patients because there are insufficient numbers of peripheral blood basophils., Study Design and Methods: To overcome this obstacle, we developed a passive immune basophil activation test, in which patient plasma and residually transfused blood are used as the patient's sources of immunoglobulin E and allergen, respectively, whereas healthy volunteer basophils serve as the responder cell source. The passive immune basophil activation test was performed for two patients who had severe allergic transfusion reactions, using supernatants of the residual platelet concentrates and the patients' own immunoglobulin E., Results: There were no differences in either surface immunoglobulin E or activation in response to allergens between untreated basophils and so-called quasi-basophils, in which immunoglobulin E was replaced by a third party's immunoglobulin E. In these patients, the supernatants of the residual platelet concentrates exclusively activated basophils in response to quasi-basophils onto which the patients' immunoglobulin E, but not a third party's immunoglobulin E, was bound., Conclusion: The passive immune basophil activation test may help clarify the causal relationship between allergic transfusion reactions and transfused blood, even when patients experience myelosuppression., (© 2017 AABB.)

- Abstract
Background: Platelet concentrates (PCs) are the most common blood components eliciting nonhemolytic transfusion reactions (NHTRs), such as allergic transfusion reactions and febrile reactions. However, the precise mechanisms of NHTRs in PC transfusion remain largely unknown. Previous studies reported that mitochondria-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) could be important mediators of innate cell inflammation. Platelets (PLTs) represent a major reservoir of mitochondria in the blood circulation. The aim of this study was to determine the possible involvement of mitochondrial DAMPs in NHTRs., Study Design and Methods: The amount of mitochondrial DAMPs was determined as an index of total copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including mtDNA itself and free mitochondria, using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To examine whether neutrophils, monocytes, and basophils were activated by mitochondrial DAMPs in vitro, an in vitro whole blood cell culture assay was performed., Results: In blood components associated with NHTRs, the mean total mtDNA concentration was highest in PCs followed in order by fresh-frozen plasma and red blood cells. The amount of mtDNA in NHTR PCs was higher than that in control PCs without NHTRs. The mitochondrial DAMPs present in NHTR PCs was high enough to activate neutrophils, monocytes, and basophils, when costimulated with N-formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine or HLA antibodies., Conclusion: PLT-derived mitochondrial DAMPs are candidate risk factors for the onset of NHTRs., (© 2016 AABB.)

- Abstract
Background: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a disorder characterized by maternal alloimmunization against paternal fetal platelet antigens. Two healthy, unrelated Japanese women each gave birth to a child with severe NAIT., Study Design and Methods: To elucidate the maternal causes of NAIT, we conducted serologic and genetic studies in these two NAIT infants., Results: The serologic experiments localized the antigens to the glycoprotein (GP) IIIa subunit of the GPIIb/IIIa complex. Sequence-based typing studies subsequently identified a G>A mutation at Nucleotide 1960 (a glutamic acid > lysine substitution at Position 628) in the 11th exon of the GPIIIa gene. This mutation was recently identified in a report as HPA-21bw. Next, it was determined that the cause of NAIT in both cases was the HPA-21bw antigen, as shown by the mothers' antibodies reacting with the mutated GPIIIa-transfected cells, but not with transfectants expressing wild-type GPIIIa. A molecular genetic screening for the HPA-21bw allele among Japanese donors showed that its genetic frequency in the population was 0.53% (10/1888), indicating that HPA-21bw occurs at a low but appreciable frequency in the population. Furthermore, in a retrospective study of 50 previous NAIT cases of unknown causes, we found one NAIT case associated with the HPA-21bw antibody. The two NAIT cases in this study represent the first ones to be associated with HPA-21bw in Japan., Conclusion: We identified the HPA-21bw allele from two unrelated Japanese infants with severe NAIT. We identified 10 individuals (1.06%) positive for the HPA-21bw allele from a genetic screening of 944 Japanese blood donors., (© 2011 American Association of Blood Banks.)

- Abstract
Background: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a neonatal disorder characterized by maternal alloimmunization against fetal platelet (PLT) antigens inherited from the father. A healthy 30-year-old Japanese woman (Hit) gave birth to her second child after an uneventful pregnancy. Nine hours after birth, the infant presented with severe petechiae and a PLT count of 6 x 10(9)/L., Study Design and Methods: To elucidate the maternal cause of NAIT in the infant, serologic and genetic studies, including PLT genotyping and sequence-based analysis, were conducted. Additionally, serologic screening for the new PLT antigen was performed., Results: Serum from the NAIT infant's mother contained antibodies directed against a human PLT antigen (HPA) of the newborn. Using five-cell-lineage flow cytometry, we localized the antigen to a PLT glycoprotein (GP). Subsequent monoclonal antibody immobilization of PLT antigen assay and PLT immunofluorescence inhibition experiments localized the antigen to the GPIIIa subunit of the GPIIb/IIIa complex. GPIIIa localization was confirmed by sequence-based typing studies, which identified a 1297C>T (407proline>serine substitution) mutation on the ninth exon of the GPIIIa gene. This mutation identified the third allele of HPA-7. Anti-Hit(a) reacted with mutated GPIIIa-transfected cells but not with stable transfectants expressing wild-type GPIIIa. Serologic screening for Hit(a) in the Japanese population revealed a phenotypic frequency of approximately 0.0015., Conclusions: We identified a new third allele of HPA-7, which is characterized by a 1297C>T mutation in the GPIIIa gene. This 1297C>T allele was found in 0.15% of the Japanese population. An antibody against this antigen could be the cause of severe NAIT.

- Abstract
Background: In antibody-mediated nonhemolytic transfusion reactions, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) tends to occur typically within 2 hours after a blood transfusion. White cell antibodies or immune complexes have been frequently shown to be associated with the syndrome, although the mechanisms by which they induce TRALI are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to characterize soluble mediators that are released from cells at an early stage after immune stimulation., Study Design and Methods: To explore the mechanism of TRALI, an in vitro whole-blood cell culture assay was established in which cells were stimulated by human antibodies and the activation of neutrophils was monitored by a cell surface marker (Mac-1) with flow cytometry and by measurement of the release of soluble factors, including perforin, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and heparin-binding protein (HBP) with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In addition, the involvement of two neutrophil FcgammaRs (FcgammaRIIIb and FcgammaRIIa, also known as CD16 and CD32, respectively) was examined during antibody-induced cell activation with anti-FcgammaR blocking antibodies., Results: Substantial amounts of HBP were released within 30 minutes of stimulation by human antibodies, although other soluble mediators were not released within the same period. Furthermore, the release of HBP was mediated via signals through both FcgammaRIIIb and FcgammaRIIa., Conclusion: HBP appears to be one of the primary effector molecules of antibody-mediated nonhemolytic transfusion reactions including TRALI.

- Abstract
Background: Antibodies to neutrophil antigens have been implicated in neonatal alloimmune neutropenia, autoimmune neutropenia, and transfusion-related acute lung injury. Most often, neutrophil-specific antibodies are directed toward human neutrophil antigen (HNA)-1 (Fcgamma receptor 3b) and HNA-2a (CD177) in these disorders., Study Design and Methods: To detect the alloantibodies in the serum samples, a panel of cell lines was established in which the HNA-1a, HNA-1b (polymorphisms of HNA-1), or HNA-2a gene was transduced with a retrovirus vector to confer stable transgene expression in K562 cells that exhibited low background reactivity to human serum samples obtained from healthy donors in flow cytometric analysis., Results: It was shown that several well-characterized human serum samples containing antibodies against HNA-1a, -1b, and -2a were unambiguously identified by the established panel cell lines and observed a lower background reactivity and longer shelf life of the K562 panel cell lines compared with isolated neutrophils, which have been used for the cell panel to identify antibodies against HNA in human serum samples., Conclusion: These results indicate that the K562 panel cell lines provide a good panel for detecting HNA-reactive neutrophil antibodies in human serum samples.
