TRANSPLANT IMMUNOLOGY
Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity Crossmatch (CDCXM): A test that detects if the recipient has antibodies that can react with the donor's cells, using complement activation to assess potential rejection risk.
Flow Crossmatch (FCXM): A modern test that uses flow cytometry to identify antibodies in the recipient's blood that may react with the donor's cells, helping assess transplant compatibility.
Donor Specific Antibody Crossmatch: Tests for antibodies specific to the donor's tissue, which can indicate an increased risk of transplant rejection if present.
Single Antigen Bead Assay (SAB): A test that identifies specific antibodies in the recipient's blood that may react with antigens on the donor's cells, aiding in risk assessment for organ rejection.
Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA): Measures the percentage of a panel of potential donor cells that a recipient’s antibodies can react with, indicating the likelihood of rejection based on antibody presence.
Scientific Officer
Transplant immunology tests assess how a recipient's immune system responds to a transplanted organ or tissue. These tests help determine the compatibility between donor and recipient to prevent rejection and optimize transplant success.
Transplant Immunology Testing Experience:
- Proficient in performing Complement Dependent Cytotoxicity Crossmatch (CDCXM) and Flow Crossmatch (FCXM) to assess recipient-donor compatibility and rejection risk.
- Experienced with Donor Specific Antibody Crossmatch and Single Antigen Bead Assay (SAB) to identify antibodies and assess transplant success likelihood.
- Skilled in Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA) testing to evaluate recipient antibody reactivity and optimize donor matching.
