For the EPT on HLA-specific antibody identification, the same 12 sera are used as shipped for the EPT on HLA-specific antibody detection. More information is given in Table 1. For HLA-specific antibody identification, Eurotransplant-affiliated laboratories must use CDC as a method. Last year, 11 laboratories from outside Eurotransplant used CDC as a technique. Next to this, Luminex single-antigen bead (SAB) assays and Luminex SAB complement binding assays are assessed separately. An assessment is done on the basis of consensus. The ETRL uses 75% consensus for CDC and 95% consensus for SAB assays. Results are entered on the ETRL-EPT website. The period until the deadline is 4 to 5 months from the day of shipment.
