- Recipient–donor chimerism is routinely analyzed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to monitor engraftment and graft rejection. For malignancies, chimerism can also be used to screen for disease relapse post-HSCT but methodology and interpretation of results are not standardized and likely depend on underlying diagnosis. We have implemented highly sensitive and accurate methodologies for chimerism analysis for the purpose of improving relapse prediction. Here, we report an exploratory retrospective analysis of clinical routine chimerism results from all 154 HSCTs for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) performed at our center during the years 2015–2020 with the aim of suggesting a clinically useful threshold at which risk of relapse is high. Relapse was not reliably predicted based on single elevated chimerism values obtained before time of overt relapse. However, early complete donor chimerism, here defined as recipient DNA < 0.2% in CD33+ cells in any blood or bone marrow sample taken during the first 60 days after HSCT, correlated inversely with relapse during the observation time (log-rank test P = 0.033). We propose that achievement of complete chimerism determined early after HSCT using sensitive methods can be used for risk-stratification of AML patients.

- Complement-dependent cytotoxicity or flow cytometric lymphocyte crossmatch (LXM) tests may fail to detect clinically significant antibodies (Abs) against non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA). A flow cytometric endothelial precursor cell crossmatch (EPCXM) test (XM-ONE) is available for detection of Abs against donor endothelial precursor cells (EPCs). We showed that lymphocytes co-purified with EPCs can be used in LXM tests allowing simultaneous detection of Abs reactive with donor EPCs and lymphocytes. The lymphocyte population co-purified with EPCs on anti-Tie-2 Ab-coupled magnetic beads contained CD 8(+) and CD 4(+) T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer (NK)- and natural killer T (NKT)-cells. HLA class I antigen expression was slightly higher on CD 3(+) lymphocytes co-purified on Tie-2 Ab beads than on unseparated lymphocytes, whereas HLA class I and II antigen levels on CD 19(+) lymphocytes were not significantly different. Sera from 10 patients with panel-reactive Abs were tested on cells from nine donors using flow cytometric LXM and EPCXM tests. There was a very good correlation (R(2) = 0.94) between the channel shift values obtained on unseparated and Tie-2 Ab bead-isolated T-lymphocytes, whereas the correlation between the channel shift values obtained on the two B-lymphocyte populations was lower (R(2) = 0.71). T- and B-lymphocytes co-purified with EPCs can be used in LXM tests enabling simultaneous detection of donor lymphocyte- and EPC-reactive Abs in a single-tube XM-ONE assay.
