Phasing out the pre-transplant cytotoxicity crossmatch: Are we missing something?
Introduction: The anti-human globulin-enhanced complement-dependent cytotoxicity crossmatch (AHG-CDCXM) assay has been used to assess the presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSA) in recipient’s serum before kidney transplantation. The flow cytometric

Improved Monocyte Cytotoxicity Test
A micro-modification of the two-colour monocyte cytotoxicity test (MCTT) is described. It employs exclusively adherent monocytes for staining, sensitizing and labeling instead of monocyte suspensions. Thereby unspecific cytotoxicity is decreased while sensitivity and specificity of the test are improved.
