Anti-HLA-B7/HLA-B44 strong cross immunoreactivity observed in flow cytometry HLA-B27 immunotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Cross reactivities are known for human leukocyte antigen inside HLA-B7 related Cross-Reactive Group (B7CREG). Some CE-IVD flow-cytometry kits use double monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to distinguish HLA-B27 and HLA-B7 but practice reveals more complexes results. This study explores the performances of this test. Analysis of 466 consecutive cases using HLA-B27 IOTest™ kit on a Navios™ cytometer from Beckman-Coulter,...
