We have established a model of sensitization in non-human primates and tested two immunosuppressive regimens. Animals underwent fully mismatched skin transplantation, donor-specific antibody (DSA) response was monitored by flow crossmatch. Sensitized animals subsequently underwent kidney transplantation from their skin donor. Immunosuppression included tacrolimus, mycophenolate and methylprednisolone. Three animals received basiliximab induction, compared to non-sensitized animals they showed a shorter mean survival time (MST, 4.7±3.1 vs. 187±88 days). Six animals were treated with T-cell depletion (anti-CD4/CD8 mAbs), which prolonged survival (MST=21.6±19.0 days). All pre-sensitized animals showed antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). In 2/3 basiliximab animals cellular rejection (ACR) was prominent. After T cell depletion, 3/6 monkeys experienced early acute rejection within 8 days with histological evidence of thrombotic microangiopathy and AMR. The remaining three survived 27 to 44 days, with mixed AMR and ACR. Most T-cell depleted animals experienced a rebound of DSA that correlated with deteriorating kidney function. We also found an increase in proliferating memory B cells (CD20+CD27+IgD−Ki67+), lymph node follicular helper T cells (ICOS+PD-1hiCXCR5+CD4+) and germinal center response. Depletion controlled cell-mediated rejection in sensitized non-human primates better than basiliximab, yet grafts were rejected with concomitant DSA rise. This model provides an opportunity to test novel desensitization strategies.
