Abstract

Antibodies against human leucocyte antigens (HLA) in sera from uni and multiparous women are the potential source of HLA reagent. The present study was undertaken to screen 169 sera from pregnant women for the presence of HLA antibodies employing 26 panel cells (Peripheral blood lymphocytes) having known HLA phenotypes. 20.7% (35/169) sera were found to be positive for HLA class-1 antibodies. Present study generated one monospecific, (r=0.6 for A32) the duospecific sera (r=0.5 for A2 B35, r=0.47 A1 DR6 and r=0.7 A28 B51), and rest multispecific sera (r=below 0.4). These positive sera will be utilized as HLA reagents in future studies for tissue typing.
