Detection of donor-specific antibodies using HLA-coated microspheres: another tool for kidney transplant risk stratification**Portions of this study were delivered as an oral presentation at the American Transplant Congress, Seattle, WA, 20–25 May 2005.

Abstract
Background. Sensitive techniques are able to detect low levels of circulating antibodies. For many newer techniques, the clinical consequences of these antibodies are unknown. We hoped to determine the significance of antibodies detected through the use of Luminex® microsphere-based assay.
