Detection of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) has been associated with graft rejection in all forms of transplantation. The mechanism by which DSA increase the risk of graft failure remains unclear. We hypothesized that complement-binding DSA are associated with engraftment failure in hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and analyzed 122 haploidentical transplant recipients tested prospectively for DSA. Retrospective C1q testing was done on 22 allosensitized recipients. Twenty-two of 122 patients (18%) had DSA, 19 of which were females (86%). Seven patients with DSA (32%) rejected the graft. Median DSA level at transplant for patients who failed to engraft was 10,055 MFI versus 2,065 MFI for those who engrafted (p=0.007). Nine patients with DSA were C1q positive in the initial samples with median DSA level 15,279 MFI (range 1,554-28,615), compared with 7 C1q negative patients with median DSA level 2,471 MFI (665-12,254) (p=0.016). Of 9 patients, who tested positive for C1q in the initial samples, 5 patients remained C1q positive at time of transplant [all with high DSA levels (median 15,279, range 6,487-22,944)] and experienced engraftment failure, while 4 patients became C1q negative pre-transplant and all engrafted the donor cells (p=0.008). In conclusion, patients with high DSA levels (> 5,000 MFI) and complement-binding antibodies (C1q positive) appear to be at much higher risk of primary graft failure. C1q should be assessed in patients with DSA prior to hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Reduction of DSA to non-complement binding levels might prevent engraftment failure in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
