Section M - Disease Association

M1.000 Complete HLA typing is an appropriate option.

M1.100 Typing may also be limited to all products of a single or limited number of HLA loci.

M2.000 Typing for a single antigen (e.g., HLA-B27).

M2.100 Cell controls must be tested on each batch of typing-trays.

M2.110 The control cells must include at least two cells known to express the specified antigen.

M2.120 The control cells must also include two cells for each crossreacting antigen which might be confused with the specific antigen.

M2.130 The control cells must also include at least two cells lacking the specific and crossreacting antigens.

M2.200 Serum controls must be tested at the time of typing.

M2.210 Serum controls must include a positive and negative control.

M2.220 Serum controls should also include two sera for each antigen which crossreacts with the specified antigen (if available).

M2.300 Sera to define each antigen must meet requirements of Sections E or F as appropriate.
