[The role of enzyme tests in antibody screening before blood transfusion]
1Zakładu Serologii Instytutu Hematologii i Transfuzjologii w Warszawie.
In Poland as well as in other European countries there are two obligatory serological tests for antibody screening and crossmatching: indirect antiglobulin test (IAT) and enzyme test. Because of development of some new sensitive laboratory techniques serologists discuss the following questions: should enzyme techniques be still used, should they be replaced by other new methods, may investigations be performed only by the well standardized IAT?
