[Current methods for detection of anti-erythrocytic antibodies in blood donors]
Abstract:
Erythrocytic antibody screening in donors aids in reducing the risk of posttransfusion reactions and complications; donors with serum immune antibodies are taken from donation of plasma and transferred to that of erythrocyte-containing media. The application of highly sensitive tests for antibody screening permits detection of antibodies of wide range and various specificity and immunogenicity. The antibody identification technique makes it possible to establish a priority scale of transfusionally dangerous erythrocytic antigens.
