Improved method to calculate the antibody avidity index [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2007
AbstractThe methods currently used to determine the immunoglobulin avidity index (AI) require the choice of a reference point in the ELISA titration curve. Since both curves, with and without denaturating reagents, seldom run in parallel, the AI value becomes highly dependent on this reference.

A Banff-based histologic chronicity index is associated with graft loss in patients with a kidney transplant and antibody-mediated rejection

Kidney International, 2022
Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the major cause of graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. The Banff classification defines two classes of AMR, active and chronic active but over time this classification has become increasingly complex.
