[Development of a method of obtaining lyophilized antileukocyte histotyping sera intended for long-term storage]
Abstract
An optimal scheme for sublimation of anti-HLA-sera of locuses A, B, C, and DR has been developed, consisting of freezing at 60 degrees C and lyophilization to 29-30 degrees C, this permitting the preparation of initially active antileukocytic sera. The activity and specificity of defrosted native and lyophilized anti-HLA-sera were assessed in the complement-dependent cytotoxicity test. Four-year follow-up of the activity of dried anti-HLA-sera showed that the stabilizer was not needed, for the activities of the sera lyophilized with and without it was virtually equally high. The optimal storage temperature for dry anti-HLA-sera is 4 degrees C.
