About this trial

This study will describe the transcriptomic and phenotypic characteristics of anti-HLA memory B cells by comparing five groups of patients awaiting renal transplantation: patients with a single history of pregnancy, transfusion or failure of a first renal transplant requiring transplantectomy within 3 months of transplantation, or after 3 months, and patients without an immunizing allogeneic event. The hypothesis is that these five contexts induce different types of memory B cells with different modalities of reactivation and post-transplant pathogenicity.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult kidney transplantation candidate at CHU de Bordeaux

Sensitized against class I HLA

Only on type of sensitizing event among : transfusion, pregnancy, previous transplantation, no senitizing event

Disqualifiers

Pediatric kidney transplantation candidate at CHU de Bordeaux

Rituximab injection

Ongoing treatment with immunosuppressive drugs

Non-cutaneous carcinoma, chronic viral infection

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Identification of types of anti-HLA-specific memory LBs

    Other intervention

    Using blood sample, it will be perform single cell RNA sequencing of sorted anti-HLA B cells, identified with HLA tetramers, of five groups of patients based on their immunization histories. It will be further perform a phenotypic characterization of the tetramer+ anti-HLA B cells using spectral cytometry to study their nature and identify novel markers of memory subgroups.
