1. A total of 61 patients were treated with a clonal deletion protocol and transplanted without planned post-transplant immunosuppression. 2. Twenty-nine (48%) patients did not develop any donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies after the transplant, with a median follow-up of 158 days and a mean sCr of 2.1 mg/dL at the last follow-up. 3. Only 23% of the patients who received a DST of 60 mL produced DSA after the transplant, while 68% of the patients who received a bigger DST dose did. 4. Small doses of donor-specific transfusions (60 mL) elicited smaller specific responses, allowing efficient deletion of the reacting clones, creating conditions in which donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies were not produced. 5. A better deleting agent is needed to achieve higher rates of success using the clonal deletion protocol.
