Resumen: | The detection of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies by standard procedures such as complementdependent cytotoxicity assay (CDC) or flow cytometric (FACS) analysis is limited by its low sensitivity and the quality of the donor cells. Therefore, an ELISA-based technique was employed using solid phase-immobilized monoclonal antibodies to capture HLA class I or class II molecules of the donor, respectively. In this HLA class I and class II antibody monitoring system (AMS) the donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies from the sera of recipients bind to the HLA molecules of the donor which have been immobilized by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing non-polymorphic epitopes. Upon binding of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies they are recognized by secondary enzyme-conjugated anti-human immunoglobulin (Ig) antibodies. A newly established modification of the standard protocol allows the differentiation between bound antibodies of the IgG and IgM isotype. Furthermore, this assay was adapted for investigating small amounts of solid tissue of donors from whom no other cells (e.g. from blood) were available. We here provide an overview of the classical crossmatch methods with their advantages and limits. In addition, the design of the novel AMS-ELISA is described in terms of quality and sensitivity of the approach using exemplary cases of different application. The selected cases show that the AMS-ELISA represents a valuable tool for the post-transplantation monitoring of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies during reaction crisis, after transfusion reactions and in particular cases of tissue transplantations lacking single cells. |
