BACKGROUND: Solid-phase assays to distinguish complement binding from
noncomplement binding HLA-specific antibodies have been introduced, but technical
limitations may compromise their interpretation. We have examined the extent to
which C1q-binding to HLA-class I single-antigen beads (SAB) is influenced by
denatured HLA on SAB, antibody titre, and complement interference that causes a
misleading low assessment of HLA-specific antibody levels. METHODS: Sera from 25
highly sensitized patients were tested using Luminex IgG-SAB and C1q-SAB assays.
Sera were tested undiluted, at 1:20 dilution to detect high-level IgG, and after
ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid treatment to obviate complement interference.
Conformational HLA and denatured HLA protein levels on SAB were determined using
W6/32 and HC-10 monoclonal antibodies, respectively. Denatured HLA was expressed
as HC-10 binding to untreated SAB as a percentage of maximal binding to
acid-treated SAB. RESULTS: For undiluted sera, Luminex mean fluorescence
intensity (MFI) values for IgG-SAB and C1q-SAB correlated poorly (r = 0.42).
ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and serum dilution improved the correlation (r
= 0.57 and 0.77, respectively). Increasing levels of denatured HLA interfered
with the detection of C1q binding. Consequently, the correlation between IgG-SAB
MFI and C1q-SAB MFI was lowest using undiluted sera and SAB with greater than 30%
denatured HLA (r = 0.40) and highest using diluted sera and SAB with 30% or less
denatured HLA (r = 0.86). CONCLUSIONS: Antibody level, complement interference,
and denatured HLA class I on SAB may all affect the clinical interpretation of
the C1q-SAB assay. The C1q-SAB assay represents a substantial additional cost for
routine clinical use, and we question its justification given the potential
uncertainty about its interpretation.
