[PAGID] Anti-lymphocyte (T-cell) antibodies

[Berger, Melvin]

Won't these be detected in any "panel" of anti-HLA antibodies done to
screen for transplant acceptibility ?

Dear Colleagues:

I am looking for a lab that can measure autoantibodies to human
lymphocytes, specifically human T cells.

National Jewish used to do this as part of their autoantibody menu, but
apparently they stopped offering this test.

Regards,

JB
