Agglutinin-adsorbing Latex Method for Blood-grouping of Blood-stains and Other Specimens

Agglutinin-adsorbing latex method for blood-grouping of blood-stains and other specimens.

A new serological technique was introduced into blood grouping of blood stains and other test specimens. In this method, latex-adsorbed agglutinin was prepared by mixing polyvinyl-toluene latex particles of 2.015ƒÊ in diameter with antiserum. Accurate blood grouping was possible with the agglutinin-adsorbing latex particles directly even on a small piece of blood or saliva-stained fibrils in on...

The ABO Grouping of Blood Stains

Stains Other Than Blood-Stains as Medico-Legal Evidence

On one point an important difference of opinion may exist between medico-legal workers: should a positive chemical test, in the absence of finding spermatozoa under the microscope, be accepted a& evidence of semen ? Some are in favour of doing so (Bagchi, 1937), others against (Owens, 1935; Thomas, 1937; Kamath, 1938; Glaister, 1938; McNally, 1939; Modi, 1940; Rhodes, 1940) and yet others appea...

Serological distinction of A antigen between red blood cells and saliva in blood grouping of blood and body fluid stains.

A antigens of red blood cells and body fluids such as saliva, semen and sweat could be serologically distinguished using rabbit or guinea pig immune anti-A. As for antisera specific for red blood cell A, A+ rabbits were intravenously immunized with A group red blood cells. The resulting antisera were absorbed with O and B red cells and with A. Se saliva. The absorbed anti-A reacted with A red c...
