[The field of erythrocyte immunohematology]

Biological tests and clinical practices are both required for the safety of donors and patients in immunohematology. Therefore, the objectives are to require: 1) biological analysis of anti-erythrocyte antibodies and antigens; 2) compatibility tests; 3) analysis for the biological qualification of blood donations; 4) genotyping; 5) qualitative and quantitative studies on antigens and antibodies; 6) clinical stages prior and after biological tests including systems of information, automation and computerization.
