Automation in Immunohematology
There have been rapid technological advances in blood banking in South Asian region over the past decade with an increasing emphasis on quality and safety of blood products. The conventional test tube technique has given way to newer techniques such as column agglutination technique, solid phase red cell adherence assay, and erythrocyte-magnetized technique. These new technologies are adaptable...
متن کاملOverview of molecular methods in immunohematology.
B lood group antigens are inherited, polymorphic, structural characteristics located on proteins, glycoproteins, or glycolipids on the outside surface of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane. RBCs carrying a particular antigen can, if introduced into the circulation of an individual who lacks that antigen, elicit an immune response. It is the antibody from such an immune response that causes probl...
متن کاملImproved method for fluorescence cytometric immunohematology testing.
BACKGROUND A method for accurate immunohematology testing by fluorescence cytometry (FC) was previously described. Nevertheless, the use of vacuum filtration to wash RBCs and a standard-flow cytometer for data acquisition hindered efforts to incorporate this method into an automated platform. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A modified procedure was developed that used low-speed centrifugation of 96-...
متن کامل[The importance of immunohematology testing in the neonatal period].
INTRODUCTION In order to diagnose hemolytic disease of the newborn it is necessary to determine ABO/Rh blood group, direct antiglobulin test and indirect antiglobulin test in newborns as well as ABO/Rh and indirect antiglobulin test in their mothers due to a possible incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and her baby. The study was aimed at reviewing and analyzing the results of...
متن کاملApplying molecular immunohematology discoveries to daily transfusion practice
The discovery of the molecular basis of most red cell antigens, combined with advances in molecular testing, have paved the way for the use of genotyping to predict the red cell phenotype. Genotyping offers many advantages over serologic testing of recipients’ blood with the primary benefit being able to predict the blood group phenotype in situations that do not permit this serologically. Allo...
