Immunofluorecence microscopy shows C4d deposits along peritubular capillaries (green, arrowheads) and collagen type IV accumulations along tubular basement membranes (red, arrows). A tangentially cut glomerulus (G) only shows non-specific C4d deposits in mesangial regions. Double incubations performed on fresh frozen tissue sample
Inrenal allograft biopsies, C4d can be detected in association with different histological changes and even in the setting of normal histology. Statistical significant is the correlation between C4d and ‘acute cellular rejection’, in particular transplant glomerulitis. Only a minority of C4d-positive biopsies represent ‘pure humoral rejection’.
Criteria for acute antibody-mediated rejection in renal allografts include 3 cardinal features • Morphologic evidence of acute tissue injury, such as: (a) acute tubular injury, (b) neutrophils and/or mononuclear cells in peritubular capillaries and/or glomeruli, and/or capillary thrombosis; or (c) intimal arteritis/fibrinoid necrosis/intramural or transmural inflammation in arteries. • Immunopathologic evidence for antibody action, such as: (a) C4d and/or (rarely) immunoglobulin in peritubular capillaries or (b) immunoglobulin and complement in arterial fibrinoid necrosis • Serologic evidence of circulating antibodies to donor HLA or other anti-donor endothelial antigens.
