Detection of circulating antibodies directed against human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules, which corresponds to the current definition of ‘sensitized patient’, has been shown to have a severe impact on both access to transplantation and, if the anti-HLA antibodies are specific to the selected donor, survival of the graft. However, not all donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are equally harmful to the graft and progress in the understanding of humoral memory has led to the conclusion that absence of DSA at transplantation does not rule out the possibility that the patient has a preformed cellular humoral memory against the graft (thereby defining a category of DSA-negative sensitized recipients). Technological progress has led to the generation of new assays that offer unprecedented precision in exploring the different layers (serological and cellular) of alloimmune humoral memory. Based on this recent knowledge, the EuropeaN Guidelines for the mAnagement of Graft rEcipients (ENGAGE) working group to propose an updated definition of sensitization in candidates for solid organ transplantation – one that moves away from the current binary division towards a definition based on homogenous strata with similar humoral risk.< Réduire
