Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia is a major cause of painful vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle cell disease (SCD). Simple transfusion and red blood cell (RBC) exchange are commonly used as preventive therapies whose aim is to dilute hemoglobin (Hb)S-containing RBCs (SS-RBCs) with normal RBCs (AA-RBCs) to prevent sickling. We hypothesized that the effectiveness of transfusion could be improved by the encapsulation of inositol hexaphosphate (IHP), an allosteric Hb effector, in transfused AA-RBCs. Indeed, apart from their diluting effect on SS-RBCs, IHP-loaded RBCs (IHP-RBCs) with increased oxygen release capacity could palliate in vivo oxygen deprivation and reduce sickling. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effect of IHP-RBCs transfusion on in vitro sickling of SS-RBCs collected from 20 SCD patients. Patients' RBCs were diluted with various proportions of IHP-RBCs or AA-RBCs (processed or stored RBCs as controls). Resulting suspensions were subjected to deoxygenation followed by partial reoxygenation at 5% oxygen. Sickling was evaluated by microscopy. RESULTS Stored RBCs (50% dose) used to mimic simple transfusion exhibited a poor antisickling effect (5.6%) and a low response rate (65%). In contrast, IHP-RBCs treatment was seven times more effective resulting in 35% of sickling reduction and a 94% response rate. Sickling was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner: 9.9, 25.1, and 35.0% for IHP-RBCs in percentages of 10, 30, and 50%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that IHP-RBCs prevent in vitro sickling and suggest that it could improve conventional transfusion therapy in terms of transfused volume, frequency, and efficacy.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are efficient drugs for treating infectious, inflammatory and cancer diseases. Antibodies secreted by human lymphocytes that have been isolated from either peripheral blood or tissues present the definite interest of being part of the physiological or disease-related response to antigens present in the human body. However, attempts to generate hybridomas with human B cells have been largely unsuccessful, and cloning of human B cells has been achieved only via their inefficient immortalization with Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). However, recent progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of polyclonal B cell activation has dramatically increased the capacity to clone human B cells. In particular, activation of human naïve and memory B cells through CD40 or memory B cells only through TLR9 was shown to greatly facilitate their immortalization by EBV. Industrial development based on these observations will soon provide large collections of high affinity human mAbs of every isotype directly selected by the human immune system directed to recognize epitopes relevant for individual patients. Moreover, after CD40 activation, these mAbs will cover the full human repertoire, including the natural auto-immune repertoire. Full characterization of the biological activity of these mAbs will in turn bring useful information for selecting vaccine epitopes. This breakthrough in human B cell cloning opens the way into new areas for therapeutic use of mAbs.

Abstract
In Evans syndrome, IgG auto-antibodies (Abs) and/or complement components are frequently detected on red blood cells (RBC) in the direct antiglobulin test (DAT). A 70-year-old man with Evans syndrome diagnosed four years previously presented with a persistent autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, despite immunosuppressive treatment and normalization of platelet count. The RBC allo- and auto-Abs screening and identification were performed by indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) and DAT. In March 2006, no circulating anti-RBC auto-Abs were found in IAT but the DAT was positive with anti-IgG (++), -C3d (weak) and -IgA (++). Follow up for 11 months revealed anti-RBC IgA auto-Abs on five out of six samples. IAT was positive for RBC auto-Abs on three samples. No correlation between the haemoglobin level and the strength of reactivity of IgG and IgA auto-Abs was observed. IgA anti-RBC auto-Abs are present in Evans syndrome. To detect these Abs and characterize their role, DAT procedures should systematically include anti-IgA.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells of the immune system as they can act as initiators, stimulators and regulators of the immune response. Human DCs are most commonly generated for clinical use by in vitro differentiation of monocytes with exogenous cytokines. Here, we investigate the effect of LCOS 1013 on the production of mature Mo-DCs. LCOS 1013 is a new bacterial component from walls of gram(+)Klebsellia pneumoniae bacteria that contain some OmpA glycoproteins. Purified peripheral blood monocytes were cultured for 6 days with IL-4 and GM-CSF in order to obtain immature dendritic cells (Im-MoDCs). On day six, Im-MoDCs were matured with either LCOS 1013, TNF alpha, LPS or CD40-Ligand. LCOS 1013 matured Mo-DCs (LCO-DCs) showed a higher expression of DC-LAMP, CD80, CD83, CD54 and CD40 than TNF alpha, LPS and CD40L matured Mo-DCs. Interestingly, LCO-DCs exhibited high expression of full competent CCR7 and high secretion of IL-12 during their maturation. Functionally, LCO-DCs have equivalent potency to trigger mixed leukocyte reaction and antigen-specific reaction and polarize immune response towards Th1 way. Moreover, we found that LCOS 1013 activates DCs through TLR2. LCOS 1013 represents an attractive therapeutic maturation agent of DCs allowing the production of Mo-DCs with high capacity to migrate and to induced Th1 immune responses.

Abstract
Protein microarray technology has shown great advancements in the field of biomedical research and diagnosis, it allows to study and understand protein activities and protein - ligand interactions (e.g. detection of antigen-autoantibody interaction in autoimmune diseases. Autoantibodies are frequently targeted against antigens of the cell nucleus (double and single stranded DNA, histones, and nuclear antigens). The biological activities of proteins (e.g. enzymes, antibodies...) are controlled by peptides sequences of the active site. Consequently, we were interested in the investigation of peptide microarrays in order to further implement in situ peptide synthesis, in particular, deprotection reaction on glass supported peptides. In this work, a protected and biotinylated synthetic peptide was covalently immobilized onto amino functionalized glass surface by activation of its the C-terminus; this allows to orientate the peptide onto the surface. The peptide contains a fragment of the C-terminal end of the human histone H3 protein. The immobilized peptide was then deprotected by using concentrated trifluoroacetic acid solution. After the deprotection, surface stability and peptide grafting density were evaluated by indirect labelling of the immobilized peptide using Cy3 streptavidin conjugates. We also studied biological interaction of IgG polyclonal anti-histone H3 antibody with the immobilized peptide epitope to insure the efficiency of the acid deprotection. The specificity of the antibody interaction with the protected versus non protected peptides. This approach may be applied to in situ synthetic and prototected peptides, in order to elaborate a micro-immunoassay prototype for measurement of peptide-protein interactions on high density microarrays, and detection of antibodies in biological fluids such as serum.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the 13th International Society of Blood Transfusion Platelet Immunology Workshop was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the in-house method for the detection of human platelet antigen (HPA) antibodies currently used in participating laboratories with a modified rapid protocol for the monoclonal antibody (mAb) immobilization of platelet antigen (MR-MAIPA) assay. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight laboratories from 15 countries participated. A set of four freeze-dried minimum potency reference reagents with known single-specificity HPA antibodies were supplied for testing by titration with both assays and two coded freeze-dried plasma samples were provided for antibody specificity testing. Critical reagents and materials for the MR-MAIPA were provided including lyophilized panel platelets and five capture mAbs. RESULTS Titration of the reference standards showed that the sensitivity of the MR-MAIPA was the same as the in-house methods. The proposed replacement anti-HPA-1a reference reagent 05/106 gave results that did not differ significantly from the current reference reagent 93/710. The results with the two blinded samples showed that in the first sample, 27 out of the 28 laboratories were able to correctly identify the anti-HPA-1a present when using their respective in-house methods, but only 23 correctly identified the antibody when using the rapid MAIPA method. The results from the second sample, which contained multispecificities, showed that only 50% of the participants correctly identified all five antibodies present using their in-house method. The results for the rapid MAIPA were lower, with only 32% identifying all specificities. The variability in the reconstitution of the freeze-dried platelets may have been one of the contributing factors to the poorer results. CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of the MR-MAIPA compared favourably with that of the in-house methods. Most laboratories were able to identify anti-HPA-1a alone in Sample 1 but more than half of the participants were not able to correctly assign the specificity of all HPA antibodies present in the second sample. The usefulness of the panel of freeze-dried platelets varied considerably between laboratories.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The HPA-15 platelet (PLT) group was recently described. Severe neonatal thrombocytopenia due to alloimmunization by HPA-15b has very rarely been observed. A 22-year-old mother, gravida 1/para 1, gave birth to a male infant who presented with a severe thrombocytopenia, the PLT count recorded to be 3 x10(9)/L. A few hours after birth, he developed purpura with extensive haematomas but without visceral or intracranial haemorrhage (ICH). Two PLT transfusions were given including one using maternal PLTs. The infant's PLT count was 267 x 10(9)/L on day 6. The maternal platelet group was HPA-15a/a and her infant was HPA-15a/b. Anti-HPA-15b antibodies was found in maternal serum. CONCLUSION HPA-15b maternal alloimmunization may induce severe neonatal thrombocytopenia. In order to establish the frequency of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) due to anti-HPA-15b antibodies, an improved detection method is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an alternative to the cumbersome Kleihauer-Betke test (KBT), flow cytometry represents a powerful method for the identification and quantification of fetal red blood cells (RBCs) in maternal circulation. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS The aim of this study was to evaluate the Fetal Cell Count kit (IQ Products), an innovative flow cytometric method, based on the combination of antibodies directed, respectively, against fetal hemoglobin (HbF) and carbonic anhydrase (CA), a marker expressed after birth, to discriminate fetal RBCs from adult F cells containing HbF. The investigation was performed by two French laboratories that compared the data obtained by flow cytometry and KBT in 455 pregnant or just-delivered women as well as in 124 artificial mixtures containing from 0.01 to 5.00 percent cord cells. RESULTS The FL1/FL2 histogram allowed distinction between fetal RBCs (HbF+, CA-), F cells (HbF+, CA+), and adult RBCs (HbF-, CA+). The limits of detection and quantification were determined at 0.03 and 0.10 percent or 0.02 and 0.05 percent when analyzing 100,000 or 200,000 events, respectively. Linearity was demonstrated between 0.01 and 5.00 percent fetal cells in the mixtures (r = 0.95, p < 0.01). A good correlation between fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and KBT results was obtained with artificial mixtures (r = 0.94, p < 0.01). From the 405 Kleihauer-negative samples, none were identified as positive by FACS. Among the 50 Kleihauer-positive samples, 6 were shown not to contain fetal cells but F cells by FACS. CONCLUSION With this new dual-color flow cytometric method, accurate evaluation of fetomaternal hemorrhage was achieved even in the face of HbF of maternal origin.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of functionally important receptors for recognition of pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) since they trigger the pro-inflammatory response and upregulation of costimulatory molecules, linking the rapid innate response to adaptative immunity. In human leukocytes, TLR3 has been found to be specifically expressed in dendritic cells (DC). This study examined the expression of TLR3 in canine monocytes-derived DC (cMo-DC) and PBMC using three new anti-TLR3 mAbs (619F7, 722E2 and 713E4 clones). The non-adherent cMo-DC generated after culture in canine IL-4 plus canine GM-CSF were labelled with the three anti-TLR3 clones by flow cytometry, with a strong expression shown for 619F7 and 722E2 clones. By contrast, TLR3 expression was low to moderate in canine monocytes and lymphocytes. These results were confirmed by Western blot using 619F7 and 722E2 clones and several polypeptide bands were observed, suggesting a possible cleavage of TLR3 molecule or different glycosylation states. In addition, TLR3 was detectable in immunocytochemistry by using 722E2 clone. In conclusion, this first approach to study canine TLR3 protein expression shows that three anti-TLR3 clones detect canine TLR3 and can be used to better characterize canine DC and the immune system of dogs.

Abstract
Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia due to mothers' anti-HPA-5b alloimmunization has generally a milder clinical presentation compared to anti-HPA-1a alloimmunization. Nevertheless, a case with infant's death probably due to intracranial haemorrhage has been reported. However, if platelet-specific alloimmunized mothers with prior fetal or neonate injury receive intravenous immunoglobulins during pregnancy, thrombocytopenia in heterozygous fetus and neonate may be prevented. Here are reported 2 cases of anti-HPA-5b fetal-maternal alloimmunization, one with prior fetal death, the other with prior severe fetal intracranial haemorrhage, which were successfully treated with intraveinous immunoglobulins alone during a second pregnancy with HPA-5b incompatibility.

Abstract
We report the successful treatment by protein A-immunoadsorption (IA) of an hemophilic man with anti-F VIII antibodies (Abs) who needed high-risk bleeding surgery. This patient had developed high levels of anti-F VIII Abs preventing substitution by clotting factor and preventing high-risk bleeding surgery. Because of rebound in Abs levels or complications, IA procedures were modified several times leading to appropriate decrease of anti-F VIII inhibitor Abs allowing bilateral knees surgery. IA procedure is enough adaptable to be modified to prevent complications. Collaboration between clinical, biological, apheresis and surgical teams implied has permitted surgery and prevented life-threatening bleeding complications.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme that catalyzes the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of target proteins in response to DNA damage and has been proposed to play a role in DNA repair, recombination, transcription, cell death, cell proliferation, as well as in stabilization of the genome. We have recently shown that PARP-1 deficiency causes mammary tumorigenesis in mice. In the present study, we investigated whether genetic variants and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PARP-1 contribute to human breast cancer. To this end, we screened all PARP-1 exons, 7.1kb of intron-exon junction and 1.0-kb promoter sequences in 83 French patients with breast cancer and 100 controls by direct sequencing of genomic DNA. Twenty rare genetic variants of PARP-1, including c.1148C>A (Ser383Tyr), c.1354C>A (Arg452Arg), c.2819A>G (Lys940Arg) were detected in nine (10.8%) breast cancers of these patients. Among 31 polymorphic sites examined, five haplotype-tagging SNPs (htSNPs) of PARP-1 were identified. Interestingly, the genotype distribution of htSNP c.852T>C (Ala284Ala) was likely associated with loss of estrogen- and progesterone-receptor expression. The present study implies that genetic variants of PARP-1 may contribute to breast cancerogenesis and that PARP-1 htSNP c.852T>C (Ala284Ala) may influence hormonal therapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
In vitro stimulation of human female T cells with male HLA-identical dendritic cells resulted in the generation of HLA-DQB1*0501/0502-restricted minor histocompatibility H-Y antigen-specific CD4(+) T cell clones. Two clones generated from different HLA-identical pairs were analyzed. Use of HLA-DQ5-expressing female Epstein-Barr virus transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines transfected with various H-Y genes and loaded with overlapping peptides demonstrated that both T cell clones are specific for a peptide encoded by DDX3Y. Previously, an HLA-DQ5-restricted T cell clone specific for the same peptide was isolated from a patient with graft-versus-host disease. Thus, we compared the T cell receptor (TCR) rearrangements of the 2 in vitro generated T cell clones and the ex vivo isolated T cell clone. All 3 clones shared the same TCRBV5-4* gene segment and 2 of 3 clones also used similar TCR-Valpha segments. Our results suggest that T cells recognizing the HLA-DQ5/DDX3Y T cell epitope might be characterized by a relatively limited TCR-beta repertoire. The differences in the junctional TCR-beta region had no effect on the antigen specificity, but altered the capacity of the TCR to distinguish the HLA-DQ5/DDX3Y complex from its allelic counterpart. The results also demonstrate that in vitro stimulation of T cells with allogeneic HLA-identical dendritic cells may facilitate the characterization of in vivo, potentially relevant HLA class II-restricted minor H epitopes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) is a polyclonal mixture of immunoglobulin (Ig) G. It is used to prevent graft rejection and also graft versus host disease after transplantation. Its effect on lymphocyte function has been widely studied. Dendritic cells are central actors of the immune system. As antigen presenting cells, they are able to initiate, stimulate, and modulate immune responses. METHODS In this study, we investigated rATG effects on in vitro differentiation and maturation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (Mo-DCs). RESULTS rATG inhibited maturation of immature Mo-DCs and allowed the generation of dendritic cells expressing ILT-3, CD123, CCR6 but not CCR7 and producing Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase mRNA as well as interferon-alpha. CONCLUSION rATG polarizes in vitro Mo-DCs towards tolerogenic dendritic cells.
