Identifying human blood using various methods is crucial for linking disparate pieces of evidence and solving crimes. In this study, the Anti-Human Hemoglobin antibody (Ah-HB) from Sigma-Aldrich® USA was internally validated for human blood identification using the Ouchterlony Double Immunodiffusion (ODD) technique at the DNA and Serology Department of the Punjab Forensic Science Agency in Lahore, Pakistan. Additionally, a comparative analysis was conducted with Seratec® HemDirect (S_HD) strips to evaluate the economic feasibility of both methods. The internal validation included assessments of sensitivity, specificity, and an analysis of real-case work samples to determine the viability of the antibody as a confirmatory test for human blood. Although Ah-HB had lower sensitivity in detecting human blood at higher dilutions (1:10,000), it offered a more cost-effective solution per sample compared with S_HD, which demonstrated higher sensitivity (1:2,000,000) but at a significantly higher cost per sample. Specificity tests revealed no cross-reactivity with nonhuman blood for both Ah-HB and S_HD. This study emphasizes the importance of selecting suitable antibodies for forensic analysis by evaluating sensitivity, specificity, and cost-effectiveness. Ah-HB emerges as a valuable tool for forensic laboratories, providing reliable results at a lower cost compared with S_HD, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of criminal investigations.</p>","PeriodicalId":53514,"journal":{"name":"Monoclonal Antibodies in Immunodiagnosis and Immunotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"71-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144555713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EphA1 is expressed in various tissues and regulates cellular homeostasis by interacting with its membrane-bound ephrin ligands and other receptors. EphA1 critically correlates with the pathogenesis in several disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and cancers. Therefore, establishing sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for EphA1 has been desired for basic research, diagnosis, and treatment. In this study, a novel specific and sensitive anti-human EphA1 mAb, clone Ea<sub>1</sub>Mab-30 (mouse IgG<sub>1</sub>, kappa), was established by the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. Ea<sub>1</sub>Mab-30 demonstrated reactivity with an EphA1-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cell line (CHO/EphA1), an endogenously EphA1-expressing bladder carcinoma cell line (5637), and a colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2) in flow cytometry. Crossreactivities of Ea<sub>1</sub>Mab-30 with other Eph receptors were not observed. Furthermore, the values of apparent binding affinity for CHO/EphA1 and 5637 were determined to be 8.9 × 10<sup>-9</sup> M and 1.7 × 10<sup>-9</sup> M, respectively. Furthermore, Ea<sub>1</sub>Mab-30 detected EphA1 protein in CHO/EphA1 and 5637 lysates using Western blot analysis. Ea<sub>1</sub>Mab-30 also clearly stained EphA1 of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded CHO/EphA1 using immunohistochemistry.

We previously reported that a neutralizing antimouse CD300a monoclonal antibody (mAb) enhanced efferocytosis by macrophages and ameliorated acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in mice.
