  • Direct detection of unexpected alloantibodies in the serum of prospective transfusion recipients using a new hemagglutination inhibition assay
    Patent number: 5583004
    Abstract: Human red blood cells with antigenic determinants recognized by unexpected alloantibodies are mixed with serum from the potential recipient. Following incubation, multivalent monoclonal IgM antibodies specific to the antigenic determinant present on the test red blood cells are added. If the recipient's serum is negative for an unexpected antibody which would bind to the antigens present on the test red blood cells, then the multivalent antibody will agglutinate the red cells. Conversely, if an unexpected antibody specific to those determinants is present in the recipient's serum, hemagglutination will be inhibited.
