Detection of soluble HLA class I antigens by ELISA and determination of its reference value in population of Guangdong province.

Objective: To explore a method for quantitative detection of soluble human leukocyte antigen class I(HLA-I) antigens, with the assistance of which we attempt to define the reference value of the antigen in the population of Guangdong Province.

Methods: Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed with W6/32 monoclonal antibody serving as the solid phase antibody and beta2 microglobulin antibody as the first antibody. HRP-labeled second antibody and the substrate were added for enzyme-catalyzed coloring.
