Abstract:
Objective To compare the difference of ELISA and LABScreen in detecting HLA antibodies and evaluate their effects on allograft rejection.Methods Consecutive patients undergoing kidney transplantion from November,2008 to December,2009 in the First Affiliated Hospital and the following up patients during the same period,with abnormal Scr who had completed kidney biopsies,were included in this study.Patients' HLA antibodies were detected by ELISA (Lambda antigen tray,LATTM) and LABScreen Mix Beads (LABScreen MIX,One Lambda,Canoga Park,CA,USA) or LABScreen Single antigen beads (LABScreenTM single antigen beads,One Lambda,Canoga Park,CA,USA).Patients' Scr were also detected at different time potints.Results There were 277 patietns included.Among them 145 (52.3％) cases were HLA antibody positive detected by LABScreen,which including 118 cases ELISA negative but LABScreen positive,and 27 cases both ELISA and LABScreen positive.No case was ELISA positive but LABScreen negative.Among 118 cases which were LABScreen positive but ELISA negative,41 (34.7％) cases happened acute or chronic rejection.However,only 24 cases happened rejection in 132 double negative cases (18.2％,P =0.003).There were 31％ patients in rejection group while only 12.8％ patients (P=0.01) in non-rejection group whose HLA antibody fluorescence intensity detected by LABScreen single antigen beads still increased two weeks after transplantation.Conclusion LABScreen is more sensitive than ELISA in detecting HLA antibodies,and its result highly correlates with the incidence of allograft rejection.
