166 Peripheral B cell culture for assessment of immune response to ABO blood type carbohydrate antigens Masataka Haneda 1 , Yoshiko Matsuda 1 , Yuko Miwa 1 , Kenta Iwasaki 1 , Yoshihiko Watarai 2 , Kazuharu Uchida 3 , Takaaki Kobayashi 1 1 Transplant Immunology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Nagoya; 2 Transplant and Endocrine Surgery, Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, Nagoya; 3 Organ Transplant Surgery, Aichi Medical University, Nagakute, Japan By introduction of the desensitization therapy including rituximab, ABO blood group incompatible (ABO‐I) kidney transplantation has been well‐established as an effective treatment, despite the presence of anti‐donor antibody [1]. Although most transplants showed favorable outcome, probably due to accommodation, some exhibited severe antibody mediated rejection (AMR) by anti‐donor A/B antibody, leading to worsening post‐transplant results. Here we report in vitro anti‐A/B antibody production system using B cell culture, which can induce cell differentiation from mature to plasma cells from peripheral blood B cells in vitro. Human B cells were isolated from PBMCs of healthy human volunteers by positive selection of cells expressing CD19 antigen using MACS separation. B cells were cultured in IMDM containing 10% FBS, supplemented with 50 ug/ml of human transferrin‐selenium, 5 ug/ml
