Substantial progress in human leukocyte antigen antibody specification has been made by the introduction of Luminex single-antigen bead (SAB) assays. This progress was impaired when it turned out that this method is prone to a prozone effect leading to false-negative results in the case of high antibody titers. Testing serum and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma of one patient in parallel, we observed the prozone effect with the serum sample only. This led us to investigate complement component 1 (C1) as the cause of the prozone in SAB testing. We also found an easy way to overcome the prozone effect.
