Inhibition of Conventional IgG Reactivity in Class I Alleles Exhibiting High C1q Reactivity Is Reversed by Serum Dilution or Heat Treatment

Patient group and ID (number of Class I HLA alleles)	Mean fluorescent intensity (MFI, mean ± SD)			p-value^a
1:8 dilution	Luminex IgG	Luminex IgG 1:8 dilution^a	Luminex C1q	p-value^a
4p (12)	4,871 ± 2,733	19,790 ± 1,141	20,780 ± 1,307	<0.001
6p (11)	8,800 ± 2,680	18,135 ± 625	21,601 ± 203	<0.001

Heat treatment	Luminex IgG	Luminex IgG heat treated^a	Luminex C1q	p-value^a
12a (7)	3,000 ± 970	18,218 ± 1,022	15,920 ± 2,580	<0.001
13a (6)	2,500 ± 1,176	20,438 ± 728	19,876 ± 2,294	<0.001
14a (10)	10,361 ± 3,233	19,745 ± 1,222	21,482 ± 1,659	<0.001

Paired t-test: undiluted conventional IgG MFI vs 1:8 serum dilution or heat-treated sera conventional IgG MFI.
