Figure Lengend Snippet: CD138+ BMPCs from HLA-sensitized patients produce class I and II Abs at levels comparable to those detected in patient serum. Class I and II Ab levels were detected, identified and titered in serum from HLA-sensitized patients and culture supernatants from BM cell fractions using the single antigen bead (SAB) assay (LABScreen®; One Lambda, Canoga Park, CA) assay on a Luminex platform (Austin, TX). BM mononuclear cells (20,000/assay), CD138+ (100,000/assay) and CD138− PCs (100,000/assay) from that same patient were incubated in 100 uL BMSC conditioned media supplemented with APRIL and IL-6 at 37°C for 72 h. Serum and cell culture supernatants were removed and 20 uL was used for SAB assays (48, 49). A representative histogram of the Luminex™ SAB results to determine the levels of class I and II HLA in patient serum and cell fractions is shown. Similar results were observed using serum and cells from two additional HLA-sensitized patients (see Supp. Figure 5A, B).
