A quantitative cytotoxicity assay using whole blood: application to H-2 tissue typing

J Immunol Methods. 1982 Mar 26;49(3):293-303. doi: 10.1016/0022-1759(82)90129-6.

Abstract

A fluorochromatic cytotoxicity assay featuring direct use of whole blood and quantitative evaluation is described. Its application to tissue typing for H-2 antigens together with data indicating reproducibility specificity of the assay are presented. Procedures for visual and automated quantification are included.
