4 Optimization of HLA Antibody Testing. Dr. Robert Liwski, MD, PhD, FRCPC Medical Director, HLA Typing Laboratory Interim Head, Division of Hematopathology Professor, Department of Pathology Dalhousie University, Halifax Disclosure Nothing significant to disclose..still waiting for attractive offers Single Antigen Bead () Luminex assay Used by most HLA labs for HLA antibody testing. Revolutionized HLA antibody identification and virtual crossmatching. Number of advantages compared to Flow and ELISA. number of analytes tested simultaneously High throughput Rapid analysis Still, the procedure is time intensive and is not optimal for use in urgent cases. Friday afternoons come to mind Some important limitations: Susceptible to interfering substances ( prozone effect). 4

5 Outline Optimization of HLA antibody testing Rapid Optimized Single Antigen Bead (ROB) protocol for LABScreen (Human Immunology 217). Development Validation Multicenter evaluation Enhanced and ROB protocols for LIFECODES LSA. Multicenter evaluation Development of a novel, prozone resistant Dual Antibody Rapid Test (DART) protocol for LABScreen (ASHI Quarterly 217). Single antigen bead () Luminex LABScreen and LIFECODES LSA protocols Incubate beads (5 l) and serum 2 l (RT) 3 min. 4 l 1 l Wash x3 (5 min/spin) 15 min. Filter plate 5 min. Incubate with 1 l anti IgG PE, 1:1 dilution (RT) 3 min. 5 l 1:1 Wash x2 (5min/spin) 1 min. No wash min. Total assay time 1h 25 min. Evidence for incubation time/reagent concentration? wash times? 1h 5 min. 2h Transfusion Medicine Red cell antibody testing (IAT) How long does it take? 25 3 minutes!!! Can assay be optimized and expedited? 5

6 Objectives To develop a rapid single antigen bead LABScreen protocol without compromising the sensitivity of the assay. Investigate the effects of: Centrifugation time Serum incubation time Anti IgG PE incubation time Serum volume Anti IgG PE concentration Effect of reduced spin time (1 vs 5 min) on bead counts Class I beads Class II beads Bead count Bead number N=3 6

7 Effect of reduced spin time Standard 5 washes x 5 min = 25 min Rapid 5 washes x 1 min = 5 min 13 x g 18 x g No impact on bead counts or overall results 2 minutes saved! Effects of reduced incubation times Serum incubation time Anti IgG PE incubation time Effects of reduced incubation time ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number 7

8 Effects of reduced incubation time ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of reduced incubation time ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of reduced incubation time ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number 8

9 Effects of reduced incubation time ¼ PPC, HLA class II Bead number Effects of reduced incubation time Negative control serum Class I Class II Bead number Effects of reduced incubation time NC and PC beads Small Effect on NC bead (#1) background PC bead (#2) Significant Effect on IgG binding Serum/IgG-PE incubation time 9

10 Conclusion Reduction in incubation time with serum and/or anti IgG PE results in decreased values. Negligible impact on LSNC and NC bead reactivity. The degree of decrease when incubation time with anti IgG PE was reduced was surprising. IgG PE concentration appears to be sub optimal? Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration ¼ PPC, HLA class II Bead number 1

11 Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration Negative control serum Class I Class II Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration NC and PC beads NC bead (#1) PC bead (#2) Serum/IgG-PE incubation time Conclusion Increasing the anti IgG PE concentration from 1:1 to 1:5 increases in the standard assay including PC bead. Negligible effect on background (LSNC and NC bead). Can we compensate for reduced values in the 15/5 min protocol by optimizing the concentration of anti IgG PE? 11

12 Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number 12

13 Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class I Bead number Effects of increasing IgG PE concentration on in 15/5 protocol ¼ PPC, HLA class II Bead number 13

14 Conclusion Increasing concentration of anti IgG PE compensates for the reduction in incubation times. IgG PE concentration of 1:1 closely matches obtained with the standard assay. ROB LABScreen Protocol Incubate beads (5 l) and serum 25 l (RT) 15 min. Wash x3 (1 min/spin) 3 min. Incubate with 2 l anti IgG PE, 1:1 dilution (RT) 5 min. Wash x2 (5min/spin) 2 min. Total assay time 25 min. ROB LABScreen Protocol Incubate beads (5 l) and serum 25 l (RT) 15 min. Wash x3 (1 min/spin) 3 min. Incubate with 2 l anti IgG PE, 1:1 dilution (RT) 5 min. Wash x2 (5min/spin) 2 min. Total assay time 25 min. 7% time reduction! 14

16 Patient serum CF, class I ROB Standard Patient serum CF, class I ROB Standard Conclusion We can reduce the time it takes to perform LABScreen Luminex assay without compromising assay sensitivity. Correlation between the Standard and ROB protocols is excellent. No significant impact on test results when using ROB protocol. Significant time savings. ROB protocol allows for rapid testing of urgent patient sera. Ex. testing during deceased donor work up. 16

ROB protocol exhibits enhanced enhances weak reactivity with low titer DSA. enhances reactivity with low titer abs directed against CREGs. Standard LSA protocol is less susceptible to the prozone effect compared with the ROB protocol. Treatment with EDTA resolves the prozone Differences are likely due to serum dilution in the Standard protocol. Enhanced LIFECODES LSA Protocol Immucor developed an enhanced LSA protocol to generate higher values. Motivation was based feedback from the worldwide HLA community. Clinical correlations with have been established In order to encourage more widespread adoption of the LIFECODES LSA kits, values need to be in line with what clinicians are used to seeing. Enhanced LSA protocol uses 2 l instead of 1 l of serum per reaction to increase the values. 24

32 Conclusion Enhanced and ROB protocols increase sensitivity ( values) in LIFECODES LSA assay (Enhanced > ROB). Improve signal to noise differential with no significant impact on background reactivity. Good overall correlation between all three protocols (best between Enhanced and ROB). Enhanced and ROB protocol show improved concordance of and results. ROB protocol confers significant time saving allows for rapid testing of urgent patient sera.

50 Conclusions DART protocol is resistant to the prozone effect. Eliminates the necessity to treat sera thus avoiding potential interference with HLA antibody testing. Improved correlation for prozone negative specificities compared with EDTA. Dual Antibody Rapid Test (DART) Final thoughts Value of protocol optimization Impact on test quality, TAT and clinical patient care Should be an integral part of any assay validation Significant variability in antibody testing protocols and results Impact on patient care Impact on transplantation research Assay standardization improves concordance of results 5
