Figure 1 Solid-phase complement-binding characteristics of de novo donor-specific HLA antibodies (dnDSA) in kidney transplant recipientsRelationship between median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of de novo IgG DSA and ability of C1q or C3d-binding capacity. For recipients with multiple dnDSAs, only the immunodominant dnDSAs defined by the highest MFI are plotted. Some of the C3d+ DSA can be also positive for C1q, and vice versa.
