Antibody titration is a determination of the concentration of a specific antibody in the patient's serum or to determine the strength of antigen expression on different red cell samples. If the concentration of the specific antibody is being determined, the cells must contain the known antigen and the procedure should be performed under the Comparison Between Conventional and Automated Techniques for Blood Grouping and Crossmatching: Experience from a Tertiary Care Centre. The blood grouping of these 1000 samples was then performed by CTT and interpreted according to AABB Technical Manual. Briefly, 1 drop of 2-5% red cell b. the AABB Technical Manual.

The result with anti-A reagent was negative. What is the interpretation of this patient's D typing? a patient is D-negative AABB Technical Manual, current edition. Tube Method • Wash the 3% cell suspension 4 times manually with saline or automatically using a cell washer. • After washing, add the appropriate reagent. • Spin and read using an agglutination viewer. - Agglutination = Positive - No agglutination = Negative 2019 33 DAT Control?

Major Types of Antigen-Antibody Reactions Agglutination Agglutination is the antibody-mediated clumping of particles that express anti-gen on their surface.

The adsorption and elution test was performed as described in the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) technical manual.3 Adsorption of patient red cells was done at 4 °C with human polyclonal anti-B from group A individuals. Heat elution was performed at 56 °C for 10 min. Eluate and final wash supernatant were tested with three unpooled A, B and O blood group reagent red cell samples. Agglutination with Anti-C3 indicates complement is coating the cells. Both IgG and complement may be present. If the polyspecific tube is positive but all the monospecific tubes are negative, repeat the entire test with the polyspecific and monospecific reagents.
