Basic transplant immunology has primarily focused on the definition of mechanisms, but an often-stated aspirational goal is to translate basic mechanistic research into future therapy. Pre-transplant donor specific antibodies (DSA) mediate hyperacute as well as early antibody-mediated rejection (AMR), while DSA developing late post-transplantation may additionally mediated chronic rejection. While contemporary immunosuppression effectively prevents early cellular rejection after transplant in non-sensitized patients, it is less effective at controlling pre-existing HLA antibody responses or reversing DSA once established, thus underscoring a need for better therapies. We here review the development of a bench-to-bedside approach involving transient proteasome inhibition to deplete plasma cells, combined with maintenance co-stimulation blockade, with CTLA-4Ig or belatacept, to prevent the generation of new antibody-secreting cells (ASCs). This review discussed how this a treatment regimen that was rationally designed and validated to reverse established DSA responses in mouse models, translated into reversing active AMR in the clinic, as well as desensitizing highly-sensitized patients on the transplant waitlist.
