  • Title: HLA Class II-specific antibodies can react with T cells in flow cytometry crossmatch: a case report.
    Author: Heo WB, Kim CD, Won DI.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 2007 Dec; 39(10):3485-7. PubMed ID: 18089415.
    Abstract:
    HLA Class I-specific antibodies are usually detected using a flow cytometry HLA crossmatch using T cells. A positive case is shown as a single, right-shifted peak on the anti-IgG FITC histogram of T cells. We report a case showing 2 peaks occurring concurrently, both positive and negative. The positive peak resulted from the binding of HLA Class II-specific antibodies to donor-activated T cells expressing the HLA-DR antigens. This case suggested donor-specific HLA Class II-specific antibodies can bind to some T cells as well as to whole B cells.
