We used the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay and the cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte precursor frequency assay to evaluate alloreactivity in responder-stimulator pairs. High frequencies of responder cells among cells from HLA-mismatched pairs and low frequencies among cells from pairs of siblings with identical HLA types were detected by both assays. The ELISPOT assay thus illustrated the helper and cytotoxic-T-cell response to allogeneic HLA antigens.

Abstract

We used the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay and the cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte precursor frequency assay to evaluate alloreactivity in responder-stimulator pairs. High frequencies of responder cells among cells from HLA-mismatched pairs and low frequencies among cells from pairs of siblings with identical HLA types were detected by both assays. The ELISPOT assay thus illustrated the helper and cytotoxic-T-cell response to allogeneic HLA antigens.
