HLA-homozygous iPS cells

About HLA-homozygous iPS cells

These iPS cells have been generated from the blood of healthy donors who are homozygous in their expression of the protein HLA-A, HLA-B, or HLA-DR

Advantage

iPS cells are being made to express the most frequent HLA in Japan. Currently, a total of 27 iPS cell lines made from 7 donors who together are homozygous for 4 HLA types have been prepared. These lines cover approximately 40% of the Japanese population. The different lines give versatility in HLA typing and differentiation capacity for different diseases. Some of these cell lines have already been used in iPS cell-based clinical cell therapies.

Cells from HLA-homozygous donors can be used for cell therapies in patients who have at least one of the same HLA. In the illustration, the donor cells can be used in 4 of the 7 patients.

Challenge

Currently, the HLA-homozygous iPS cells cover only 40% of the Japanese population. Thus, the cells cannot be used in the other 60% due to the high risk of an immune reaction.

Glossay

HLA (human leukocyte antigen):HLA are proteins expressed on the cell surface that allow the immune system to distinguish self and foreign cells. There are three classes, with class I (HLA-A, -B, and -C) being considered the most important when donor-patient matching. The number of HLA combinations is in the tens of thousands.
