title: [Post mortem HLA phenotyping of donors of eyes. Evaluation of a serological method of microlymphotoxicity on lymphocytes and PHA lymphoblasts].
abstract: To increase the number of HLA typed corneas a microlymphocytotoxicity assay on lymphocytes and PHA lymphoblasts was investigated. A double immunofluorescence technique using magnetic beads coated with anti-T8 (for class I) and anti-DR (for class II) monomorphic antibodies was applied. Blood samples from 50 non selected donors were obtained. HLA class I and class II typing was possible in 74% of the cases. Using PBL's (Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes) HLA class I could be defined in 29 out of 50 Cases and class II in 15 out of 50 cases. On PHA blasts HLA class I and class II antigens could be defined in 32 and 33 out of 50 cases respectively. Mean time of culture was 10 days (6-20). No influence of donor age and post partum time could be observed. By combination of both methods a significant proportion of eye donors could be reliably typed within a short time.
