94438-9
LaboratoryHLA-DRB3 and HLA-DRB4 and HLA DRB5 IgG Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Flow cytometry (FC)
Definition
High specificity assays,such as the Luminex single bead system, can detect HLA epitopes at a detailed molecular allele-equivalent level. Therefore, many laboratories using this assay will report, along with the serologic type, the molecular type, and also the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) in a single answer. This term is intended to cover the existing reporting formats for HLA-DRB3, 4, and 5 antibody specificity.
