Natural Killer Index From Hematopoietic Stem Cell Graft

Numerous studies about the potential role of NK alloreactive during a n hematopoietic stem cells graft are based on genotypical analyses of the KIR receptors and on genotypic incompatibilities between KIR and HLA for couple donor/recipient. There is still a lot of issues non resolved: Are KIR really expressed and how occur their expression during time when hematopoietic reconstitution? Is it depending on HLA of the recipient?If KIR are expressed, what are the mechanisms of alloreactivity of NK cells? Are NK able to lyse tumoral cells? Could alloreactive NK cells constitute a therapeutic tool able to induce tolerance and elimination of leukemia during hematopoietic stem cells grafts?

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age superior to 1 year
  • Patient that will be treated by an HSC graft
  • Initial pathology of recipient: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient already included in a study with an exclusion period

  • Patient already treated by an allograft of HSC

Treatment and study plan

Blood test

Procedure

The study of KIR and HLA genes will be performed on samples of cord blood or peripheral blood donor and recipient before transplant For grafts from placental cord blood, we do ask any additional samples.

Primary outcomes

  1. Estimate in the pilot study the percentage of different NK cell populations during hematopoietic reconstitution after HSCT with regard to the KIR and HLA genotypes of donor / recipient

    Time frame: J60 post-HSCT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Genetic analysis of KIR and HLA incompatibility of donor and recipient - Rate of in vitro amplification of NK cells from the donor - Assess the percentage of NK cells from the donor

    Time frame: J60 post-HSCT
