Limitations of CDC-XM |
---|
Requires a constant supply of fresh viable donor lymphocytes |
Testing process is cumbersome especially in the emergency setting for deceased donor transplants |
Low sensitivity with false negative results; caused by low titre DSA, complement inactivation, etc. |
Low specificity with false positive results due to autoantibodies, immune complexes, etc. |
Non-complement fixing antibodies are not detected |
Lack of standardization regarding panel composition among different laboratories |
