Περιγραφή: To optimize outcomes in solid organ transplantation, the HLA genes are regularly compared and matched between the donor and recipient. However, in many cases a transplant cannot be fully matched, due to widespread variation across populations and the hyperpolymorphism of HLA alleles. Mismatches of the HLA molecules in transplanted tissue can be recognized by immune cells of the recipient, leading to immune response and possibly organ rejection. These adverse outcomes are reduced by analysis using epitope-focused models that consider the immune relevance of the mismatched HLA.PIRCHE, an acronym for Predicted Indirectly ReCognizable HLA Epitopes, aims to categorize and quantify HLA mismatches in a patient-donor pair by predicting HLA-derived T cell epitopes. Specifically, the algorithm predicts and counts the HLA-derived peptides that can be presented by the host HLA, known as indirectly-presented T cell epitopes. Looking at the immune-relevant epitopes within HLA allows a more biologically relevant understanding of immune response, and provides an expanded donor pool for a more refined matching strategy compared with allele-level matching. This PIRCHE algorithm is available for analysis of single transplantations, as well as bulk analysis for population studies and statistical analysis for comparison of probability of organ availability and risk profiles.
