Active Ingredient History
Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are a concept in transplantation medicine and describe the presence of antibodies specific to the Donor's HLA-Molecules. These antibodies can cause antibody-mediated rejection and are therefore considered a contraindication against transplantation in most cases. DSA are a result of B cell and plasma cell activation and bind to HLA and/or non-HLA molecules on the endothelium of the graft. They were first described in 1969 by Patel et al., who found that Transplant recipients who were positively tested for DSA using a complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch assay had a higher risk of transplant rejection. DSA can either be pre-formed or can be formed as a response to the transplantion. Wikipedia
