FlexMap 3D Luminex promises a higher degree of sensitivity, which may lead to greater mean fluorescence intensities, depending on the anti-HLA beads kit supplier. Given that anti-HLA antibodies and potential donor specific antibodies monitoring rely on MFI variations, all kits routinely used and especially Single Antigen Beads assays must be compared. In the HLA Laboratory at Toulouse Hospital, we compared the two Luminex generations using LABScreen Mix, Panel Reactive Antibody and LABScreen Single Antigen from One Lambda and Lifecodes ID from Werfen suppliers. LABScreen Mix, Panel Reactive Antibodies and Single Antigen gave the same results with both Luminex platforms. It should be noted that a divider was applied to all results obtained with FlexMap 3D when using One Lambda kits, which enabled us to obtain comparable MFI. Lifecodes ID also showed a strong correlation with both Luminex instruments, but no divider was applied and higher MFI were attained on FlexMap 3D. Serial dilutions of two monoclonal antibodies also illustrated that MFI achieved with Single Antigen from Werfen on FlexMap 3D Luminex were closer to One Lambda values. All MFI obtained with One Lambda were virtually identical when using Labscan 200 or FlexMap 3D, allowing the switch to the new Luminex platform to be made without issue. MFI gained with Werfen was higher with FlexMap 3D Luminex, which increases sensitivity, and may facilitate MFI comparisons between the two suppliers.</p>","PeriodicalId":13172,"journal":{"name":"HLA","volume":"107 5","pages":"e70731"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13144444/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147837440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As potential therapeutics, immunologically inert human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) preventing binding of DSA to HLA-A1 molecules would limit their detrimental effects. In this study, the complement-activating potential of anti-HLA-A1 mAbs (WIM8E5), modified by single amino-acid changes inhibiting C1q binding, Fc-Fc interactions, or FcγR binding, was assessed in the classical crossmatch and by detection of C3d fixation in single antigen Luminex beads. Subsequently, the efficacy of these modified human mAbs was assessed in combination with patient sera to determine whether they could prevent complement-mediated cell lysis and HLA antibodies-induced C3d fixation. Point mutations in anti-HLA-A1-WIM8E5 mAb preventing C1q binding resulted in reduced to absent complement-mediated cell lysis and C3d fixation. Patient sera containing anti-HLA-A1 antibodies are able to activate complement, and WIM8E5-K322A-P329R-S440K (preventing C1q, Fc:Fc interaction and FcyR binding) mAb could prevent cell lysis induced by patient antibodies and inhibit C3d binding to HLA-A1 coated beads. Furthermore, the 109F epitope recognized by the mAb differed from those recognized by patient antibodies, indicating that a single modified mAb can block multiple HLA-A1 recognition sites. In conclusion, single amino-acid mutations in anti-HLA-A1-WIM8E5 directed to inhibit C1q binding, Fc:Fc interactions, or FcγR binding could be used to prevent complement-mediated cell lysis and C3d formation in kidney transplant recipients. Further research is needed to investigate the applicability of modified mAb as potential therapeutics in the clinic.</p>","PeriodicalId":13172,"journal":{"name":"HLA","volume":"107 5","pages":"e70745"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13147309/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147837366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
