Use of the DAF Assay to Assess the Functional Properties of Polyclonal and Monoclonal Rh D Antibodies

Abstract: The mechanism whereby passive Rh (D) immunoglobulins suppress the fetomatemal alloimmunization is still unclear. New in vitro tests are needed to better characterize the functional properties of polyclonal anti-Ds. The DAF assay was developped to monitor the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and the phagocytosis of anti-Rh (D)-sensitized RBCs by effector cells. The principle of this test is based on the oxydization of the 2,7-diaminofluorene (DAF) by the pseudoperoxidase activity of free hem… Show more

“…5 × 10 5 target RhD + RBCs were incubated with serial dilutions of anti-D mAbs in presence of NK cells at an E/T ratio of 3:1. ADCC was then quantified using the 2.7 diaminofluorene (DAF) assay, as previously described [25]. O.D.…”

“…These biological effects would typically include standard pharmacological and toxicological tests, in vivo biomarker (either target and/or mechanism biomarkers) studies, and dose–response studies in disease models. Routine in vitro pharmacological testing includes receptor binding affinity and occupancy experiments with human receptors or receptor‐bearing cells and other mechanism‐specific assays such as antibody‐dependant cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay [20]. In vivo testing may include PK–PD experiments to characterize the relationship between dose, exposure, and biomarker changes, and efficacy studies in appropriate disease models, when available.…”

“…Three repeats were done for each point. Plates were incubated at 37 o C for 18-20 h, then samples of the supernatant were collected and free hemoglobin was assessed colorimetrically [5]. Hemolytic activity of MCA relative to antirhesus Ig activity taken as 100% was determined by the formula:…”
