Abstract excerpt
Complement-mediated interference is a well described phenomenon in single antigen bead (SAB) Luminex assay that leads to falsely low or negative results for anti-HLA antibody (Ab). In a context of high amount of Ab, the enrichment of the Ab around the bead can lead to complement cascade activation and deposition, thereafter impairing Ab detection. EDTA is now routinely used to circumvent this interference. In...
