Provided are methods for determining the presence or absence of donor specific antibodies in a biological sample. The methods include mixing a cellular sample from a donor with a biological sample from a recipient under conditions sufficient for recipient immune antibodies, if present, to bind to donor cell surface antigen (Ag) to form an immune antibody-Ag complex, contacting the mixture with beads comprising an antibody that specifically binds the immune antibody-Ag complex (e.g., the Ag or immune antibody) on a surface thereof, adding under lysis conditions a detectably-labeled antibody that specifically binds the immune antibody-Ag complex bound to the beads, and detecting the presence or absence of the detectably-labeled antibody bound to the immune antibody-Ag complex to determine the presence or absence of donor specific antibodies in the biological sample from the recipient. Systems and kits for practicing the subject methods are also provided. |
