To investigate the correlation between serum anti-ABO immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgG subclasses, anti-ABO IgG subclasses were measured by flow cytometry (FCM) in ABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplant recipients. We also evaluated baseline anti-ABO C1q antibody. Baseline anti-ABO IgG titers were measured by both FCM and column agglutination technique methods in 18 ABOi kidney transplant recipients. The mean florescence intensity (MFI) ratios of baseline anti-ABO IgG subclasses and anti-ABO C1q antibody were obtained by FCM and followed-up after rituximab treatment, each plasmapheresis (PP) session, and kidney transplantation. Correlation between the values of IgG subclass and total IgG titer was analyzed. The baseline MFI ratios of total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 were 202.46, 62.41, 30.01, 1.04, and 1.13, respectively. The MFI ratios of IgG1, IgG2, and total IgG measured at baseline and pre-PP were positively correlated with the baseline ABO titer was measured using the column agglutination technique. The numbers of PP sessions to reach the target titer were correlated with the baseline IgG and IgG1 levels. IgG1 and IgG2 as well as total IgG were removed effectively after serial PP. Anti-ABO C1q antibody was neither detected nor correlated with total IgG and any IgG subclasses. Our findings suggest that IgG1 and IgG2 are the dominant IgG subclass in ABOi kidney transplant recipients. Baseline levels of IgG1 and IgG2 were correlated with baseline total IgG titer. However, anti-ABO C1q antibody was not detected in the present study.
