Alemtuzumab (anti-CD52; Campath 1-H) depletes both host and donor T
cells when used in preparative regimens for allogeneic transplantation.
This promotes engraftment even after nonmyeloablative conditioning and
limits graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) even after unrelated or major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) disparate allografts. We asked whether
anti-CD52 differentially targets antigen-presenting cells (APCs), in
addition to depleting T cells. Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs)
expressed abundant CD52 as expected. Langerhans cells (LCs) and
dermal-interstitial DCs (DDC-IDCs), however, never expressed CD52.
Immunostaining of skin and gut confirmed the absence of CD52 on these
resident DC populations under both steady-state and inflammatory
conditions. Although anti-CD52 functions primarily by
antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vivo, assessment of
its activity in vitro included complement-dependent lysis of
CD52+ cells. Anti-CD52 did not impair DC-T-cell adhesion,
diminish DC-stimulated T-cell proliferation, or alter moDC development in vitro. We propose that anti-CD52 abrogates GVHD not only by T-cell
depletion, but also by removing moDCs and their precursors. This would
mitigate moDC phagocytosis and presentation of host-derived antigens to
donor T cells in the inflammatory peritransplantation environment,
thereby limiting GVHD. The sparing of LCs and DDC-IDCs by anti-CD52, as
well as the recovery of donor-derived moDCs in a less inflammatory
environment later after transplantation, may allow all these DCs to
exert formative roles in graft-versus-tumor (GVT) reactions and immune
reconstitution. Whether these results support a separation of
deleterious from beneficial graft-host interactions at the level of
antigen presentation, rather than solely at the level of T cells, will
require further evaluation.
