The aim is to compare the quantitative parameters of de novo anti-HLA DQ Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA), determined at the time of their discovery by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), between recipients that developed a Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) for the 2 years following DSA apparition and those who did not. If concentration, kinetics and/or affinity parameters of anti-DQ DSA are associated with CLAD development, new, non-invasive prognostic biomarkers of humoral rejection in lung transplantation will be discovered .
