Albumin autoagglutinating phenomenon as a factor contributing to false positive reactions when typing with rapid
Vox Sanguinis
|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
A case of albumin autoagglutination has illustrated the point that this phenomenon may be a further source of false positive reactions when typing with rapid slide-test reagents. As agglutination only occurred with the bovine albumin solution and slide-test reagents from a single manufacturer, it is evident that control tests must be performed not merely with a high protein solution duplicating the formulation of the slide-test reagent itself, but with one from the same commercial source as the reagent.

Blood transfusion is a therapeutic measure to restore the blood volume after extensive blood loss due to an accident or a medical procedure. Blood transfusion involves drawing a certain amount of blood from a suitable donor and infusing it into the recipient.
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...

Understanding an individual's blood group is a critical component of transfusion medicine. It ensures compatibility in blood transfusions, organ transplants, and even during pregnancy. Determining these blood groups involves the ABO and Rh blood typing systems, utilizing specific antigens and corresponding anti-sera to identify an individual's blood type.
Antigens are protein molecules that reside on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The ABO and Rh blood typing systems target...
