Transforming ABO IgG titration: Real-world comparison of automated SPRCA vs. CAT with dithiothreitol (DTT) inactivation of IgM in 1600 ABO-incompatible solid organ transplant patient samples
Anti-ABO IgG isohemagglutinin(IHA) titration plays a vital role in guiding ABO-incompatible solid organ transplantation(ABOi-SOT). Column agglutination technology (CAT), though widely used, requires DTT pre-treatment to eliminate IgM interference. This poses significant challenges, including subjectivity, inconsistent IgM inactivation, frequent sample gelling, and prolonged turnaround times(TAT), all of which compromise accuracy and standardization. These limitations have prompted global interest in DTT-free, IgG-specific methods that enhance analytical precision and workflow efficiency.
Study Design and Methods
This prospective single-centre study (August 2019–October 2024) evaluated 1622 samples from 300 ABOi-SOT candidates; baseline titres done for all; 139 underwent transplantation. IgG titers were assessed via DTT-treated CAT [CAT(DTT)] and SPRCA during desensitization phase and post-transplant monitoring. IHA IgG titers were compared between CAT(DTT) and fully automated solid-phase red cell adherence assay (SPRCA). Concordance & reproducibility was assessed using Pearson’s correlation and Cohen’s kappa and TATs compared.
Results
SPRCA showed strong correlation with CAT (DTT) for IgG titers (r = 0.949; κ = 0.71), with 91.4 % of values within ±1 dilution. Mean IgG TAT was significantly lower for SPRCA (65.26 ± 14.41 min) compared to CAT (DTT) (111.43 ± 19.5 min; p < 0.0001). SPRCA demonstrated minimal inter-technologist variability and elimination of manual pre-DTT treatment steps translating to faster, more consistent results, enabling timely therapeutic decisions.
Conclusion
SPRCA is a robust, automated, and IgG-specific platform that overcomes key limitations of CAT. Its implementation in transplant workflows can enhance standardization, reduce delays, and support better outcomes, particularly critical in high-throughput ABOi transplant settings.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
