Verifying the method of Dithiothreitol treatment of testerytrocytes : To enable antibody screening for daratumumab-treated patients (English)
Abstract [sv]

Daratumumab är en antikropp som används vid behandling av multipelt myelom. Daratumumab är specifik för CD38, ytproteinet som uttrycks i stor mängd på myeloma plasmaceller. Vid antikroppsscreen orsakar daratumumab panreaktivitet då erytrocyter också uttrycker CD38. Dithiothreitol (DTT) behandling av testerytrocyter har visats kunna eliminera panreaktiviteten med daratumumab-antikropparna, detta genom att DTT klyver bort epitopet på CD38 som daratumumab reagerar mot utan att förstöra andra kliniskt relevanta antigen. På Södra Älvsborgs sjukhus skickas prover från daratumumab-behandlade patienter till Sahlgrenska sjukhuset för genotypning för att hitta kompatibelt blod. Förhoppningen är att den nya metoden ska möjliggöra antikroppsscreen på daratumumab-behandlade patienter vid Södra Älvsborgs sjukhus.Syftet med examensarbetet var att verifiera metoden för användning av DTT-behandlade testerytrocyter på plasma från daratumumab-behandlade patienter för att underlätta val av erytrocyter för blodtransfusion.Provmaterialet var venöst tagen patientplasma från 16 daratumumab-behandlade patienter testades mot 0,2 M DTT-behandlade- och obehandlade-testerytrocyter. DTT-behandlade testerytrocyter testades även mot kända antikroppar på plasmaprover från patienter som ej behandlats med daratumumab. Hållbarhetsstudie utfördes med behandlade BAS-testceller.Panreaktivitet sågs hos samtliga patientprover med obehandlade testerytrocyter. Vid test med DTT-behandlade testerytrocyter blev samtliga prover negativa. Behandlade testerytrocyter som testades mot kända antikroppar gav resultat som var oförändrat jämfört med originalscreen. Behandlade testceller var brukbara 25 dagar.DTT behandling av testerytrocyter är effektivt och billigt, resultatet var pålitligt då samtliga patientprover inte uppvisade panreaktivitet efter DTT-behandling av testerytrocyter. De DTT-behandlade erytrocyterna behöll kliniskt relevanta antigen efter behandling och var hållbara 25 dagar. Metoden anses som användbar för Södra Älvsborgs sjukhus.

Abstract [en]

Daratumumab is an antibody used for treatment of multiple myeloma. The antibody is specific for the surface protein CD38 which is being expressed in high quantity on myeloma plasma cells. Daratumumab is causing pan-reactivity during antibody screening due to regular erythrocytes also express CD38. Dithiothreitol (DTT) treatment of test erythrocytes has shown to eliminate the pan-reactivity caused by the daratumumab antibodies by cleaving the epitope on CD38 that daratumumab is specific to. Södra Älvsborgs hospital are currently sending patient samples from patients treated with daratumumab to Sahlgrenska hospital in Gothenburg for genotyping to find compatible blood.The purpose of the project was to verify the method for use of DTT-treated test erythrocytes on plasma from daratumumab treated patients to screen for antibodies and easier find compatible erythrocytes for blood transfusion at Södra Älvsborgs hospital.Plasma samples from 16 patients treated with daratumumab were tested with DTT-treated and untreated test erythrocytes. DTT-treated test erythrocytes were tested against samples with known antibodies from patients not treated with daratumumab. The cells durability was also tested.Pan-reactivity was shown with all daratumumab samples with non-treated test erythrocytes. Tests with DTT-treated test erythrocytes showed no pan-reactivity. Results from treated test erythrocytes tested against known antibodies were unchanged from original screening. The cells were durable for 25 days.DTT-treatment of test erythrocytes is effective and cheap, test results were reliable, all patient samples had their pan-reactivity eliminated. DTT-treated erythrocytes kept clinically significant antigens. The method is useful for clinical use at Södra Älvsborgs hospital.
