Herein, we reported the transfer of donor-derived antihuman leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies in 2 recipients after lung transplantation. Case 1: A 39‐year‐old woman with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis underwent a single brain-dead donor lung transplantation. Antibody screening 36 days after transplantation demonstrated high levels of de novo nondonor HLA class I-specific antibodies. The antibody screening in the donor serum revealed that the donor demonstrated a largely overlapping antibody profile. Importantly, the donor serum also included high-level HLA-specific antibodies against the recipient HLA-specific antigens, which were not detected in the recipient sera after transplantation. Donor-derived anti-HLA antibodies were still detected in the recipient 39 months after transplantation, without causing any complications such as graft-vs-host disease. Case 2: A 47‐year‐old woman underwent living-donor lobar lung transplantation for pulmonary complications after bone marrow transplantation with a right lower lobe from her husband and the left lower lobe from her sister. On postoperative day 39, the recipient's anti-HLA-class I antibody profile was found to be similar to that of the highly sensitized left lung donor. These donor-derived anti-HLA antibodies remained to be produced in the recipient 66 months after transplantation, without the development of complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
