    The multiple microabsorption method (MMA) reliably types nonviable tissues for Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) specificities. This practical approach offers an alternative to traditional methods, proving useful in forensic and clinical settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunogenetics
    • Forensic Science
    • Transplantation Immunology

    Background:

    • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) typing is crucial for transplantation and disease association studies.
    • Conventional HLA typing relies on viable peripheral blood lymphocytes, posing limitations.
    • Existing absorption inhibition techniques are often impractical and resource-intensive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt and validate the multiple microabsorption method (MMA) for typing HLA specificities on nonviable tissues.
    • To assess the feasibility and reliability of MMA for simultaneous detection of 16 HLA specificities across A, B, and C loci.
    • To evaluate MMA performance on diverse nonviable tissue types.

    Main Methods:

    • The multiple microabsorption method (MMA) was optimized for simultaneous HLA typing.

  • Testing was performed on 6 different nonviable tissue types for 16 HLA specificities (A, B, C loci).
  • MMA results were compared against the standard microlymphocytotoxicity test (LCT) using parallel runs.

    • Main Results:

    • MMA demonstrated high concordance (96%) with the LCT for 28 comparable antigen pairs.
    • A low rate of false negatives (1) and no false positives were observed.
    • Differential absorbing capacity was noted among tissues: lymph node and spleen were most effective, while brain and muscle showed limited reactivity.

    Conclusions:

    • The multiple microabsorption method (MMA) is a reliable and practical technique for HLA typing of nonviable tissues.
    • MMA offers a viable alternative for HLA typing in forensic investigations and hematological disease contexts.
    • The method's efficiency and accuracy make it suitable for situations where viable cells are unavailable.
