  • Antibody detection method and system
    Patent number: 10670587
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cellular system for the detection of the presence of one or more antibody species in sample, preferably a serum or plasma sample. The method is in particular useful for the analysis of patients who have been sensitized against blood group antigens expressed on erythrocytes, platelets or granulocytes. The system uses fluorescence labeled cells specific for each antigen and hence, for each antibody species. Provided are the methods, system and diagnostic kits for performing the methods of the invention. In addition, the present invention discloses a method for removing antibodies from a sample such as a serum sample. Such a method is useful for absorbing antibodies from poly-agglutinating sera.
