HLA class I-directed IgG antibodies have traditionally been detected with a complement-dependent lymphocytotoxicity (CDL) technique. We have evaluated two solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassays (EIA) and compared them with the CDL antihuman globulin (AHG) dithiothreitol-treated (DTT) PRA in their ability to discriminate between the presence or absence of HLA class I-directed IgG antibodies in serum from patients awaiting transplantation. The EIA were: (1) an EIA that uses solubilized HLA class I antigens (sHLA-I) isolated from a 240-member platelet donor pool, and (2) the PRA-STAT ELISA kit. For the first comparison, we used 691 serum samples from 272 patients taken before they had been transplanted. The data show a significant (P < 0.0001) linear correlation (r = 0.77 between the AHG DTT PRA and the sHLA EIA. They also demonstrate that the mean sHLA-I EIA ratio significantly increases (P < 0.01) above background levels with each stepwise increase in AHG DTT PRA level. Discordant results were 1.0% (7/691) for sHLA-I EIA+ PRA- and 6.3% (44/691) for PRA+ sHLA-I EIA-. However, a lower correlation was noted between the AHG DTT PRA and the PRA-STAT (Nextran) PRA results (n = 230; r = 0.42). The sHLA-I EIA is able to determine whether or not HLA Class I IgG antibodies are present in serum from transplant candidates and is an appropriate adjunct to the traditional CDL PRA assay, whereas the PRA-STAT is not.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D015395 Histocompatibility Antigens Class I Membrane glycoproteins consisting of an alpha subunit and a BETA 2-MICROGLOBULIN beta subunit. In humans, highly polymorphic genes on CHROMOSOME 6 encode the alpha subunits of class I antigens and play an important role in determining the serological specificity of the surface antigen. Class I antigens are found on most nucleated cells and are generally detected by their reactivity with alloantisera. These antigens are recognized during GRAFT REJECTION and restrict cell-mediated lysis of virus-infected cells.
