Hi fellow flow-ers, We wish to begin HLA B27 testing by flow cytometry. B27 testing was presented recently at a local Flow meeting and the issue of cross reactivity of B27 monoclonals was highlighted. The speaker indicated potential cross reaction with HLA B38 in addition to the usual cross reactions encounted (B7 etc). Have other flow operators experienced this? If so, would you please be kind enough to offer any general comments, suggestions and solutions for this particular problem. We are intending to use One Lambda and Immunotech B27/B7 (Dual Antibody) as a backup but have received some literature regarding two Silenus products (Silenus B27 and ComB27). Has anyone had any experience with either of the Silenus products, especially in regard with cross reactivity? With thanks Kathy Rowe and Wanda Randall C/- of Drew Randall's Email.
