HLA Antibodies, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Keywords
HLA antibodies, systemic lupus erythematosus
Brief summary
Patients suffering from autoimmune diseases show false-positive results when anti-HLA antibodies are identified. This false positivity makes it difficult to obtain an organ transplant based on immunological compatibility (absence of anti-HLA antibodies directed against graft antigens). The objectives of this project are to study the prevalence of these false positivities in a population of lupus patients, and to evaluate biological tests that can negate these false positivities.
