title: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for HLA determination on fresh and dried lymphocytes.
abstract: HLA-A and -B antigens were detected on fresh and dried peripheral blood lymphocytes by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Intact cells fixed to plates with glutaraldehyde were used as antigen and anti-HLA alloantisera as a source of antibodies. Determination of HLA antigens by the ELISA technique was comparable with the complement-dependent cytotoxicity test. The relative stability of HLA antigens as shown in this report and the extensive polymorphism of the HLA system make the ELISA technique a promising tool for the analysis of HLA antigens on non-living cells including, for example, medicolegal investigation of blood stains.
