Rejection of a graft after human leukocyte antigen
(HLA)-identical stem cell transplantation (SCT) can be caused by
recipient's immunocompetent T lymphocytes recognizing minor
histocompatibility antigens on donor stem cells. During rejection of a
male stem cell graft by a female recipient, 2 male (H-Y)-specific
cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones were isolated from peripheral
blood. One CTL clone recognized an HLA-A2-restricted H-Y antigen,
encoded by the SMCY gene. Another CTL clone recognized an
HLA-B60-restricted H-Y antigen. In this study UTY was
identified as the gene coding for the HLA-B60-restricted H-Y antigen.
The UTY-derived H-Y antigen was characterized as a 10-amino
acid residue peptide, RESEEESVSL. Although the epitope differed by
3 amino acids from its X-homologue, UTX, only 2 polymorphisms were
essential for recognition by the CTL clone HLA-B60 HY. These
results illustrate that CTLs against several H-Y antigens derived from
different proteins can contribute simultaneously to graft rejection
after HLA-identical, sex-mismatched SCT. Moreover, RESEEESVSL-specific
T cells could be isolated from a female HLA-B60+ patient with
myelodysplastic syndrome who has been treated with multiple blood
transfusions, but not from control healthy HLA-B60+ female
donors. This may indicate that RESEEESVSL-reactive T cells are more
common in sensitized patients.
