Test Overview
Test Methodology

Solid Phase Assay

Test Usage

The antibodies directed to the possible donor and already transplanted organ are known as Donor Specific Antibodies (DSA). These DSA are associated with an increased risk of graft loss and/or rejection. The damage produced by the recognition of the HLA antigens on the surface of the graft endothelium by the DSA results in the rejection process known as Antibody Mediated Rejection (AMR).
