complement binding antibodies and 1:16 serum dilution https://www.ashi-hla.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1349617 Sat, 6 Jun 2026 11:57:04 GMT Fri, 7 Apr 2017 12:34:33 GMT Copyright © 2017 American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics complement binding antibodies and 1:16 serum dilution https://www.ashi-hla.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1349617 https://www.ashi-hla.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1349617 Dear Colleagues:

 

The use of single antigen testing for complement-fixing antibodies has been controversial in the past. Does your experience indicate that this testing is clinically useful? One of our transplant nephrologists is advocating that instead of a complement-fixing single antigen bead assay, we simply test the serum at a 1:16 dilution. Can anyone recommend that? Is there credible support in the literature? Thank you so much!

 

Best wishes,
