microcytotoxicity assay

microcytotoxicity assay
the standard method of typing serologically defined human leukocyte antigens (HLA) as HLA-A, -B, and -C antigens. Multiple typing sera are placed in wells of a microtiter plate, and peripheral blood lymphocytes and complement are added to each well. The pattern of lysed cells indicates the HLA phenotype.
