Frequency of red blood cell alloantibody in Kuwaiti population.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the alloimmunization against red blood cells (RBC) among Kuwaiti population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of RBC alloimmunization among 179,045 Kuwaiti patients, pregnant women, and allogeneic blood donors was conducted for the period of 1992-2001. The frequency of 24 alloantibody specificities from 1,278 alloimmunized Kuwaitis wa...
متن کاملConventional tube agglutination with polyethylene glycol versus Red Cell Affinity Column Technology (ReACT): a comparison of antibody detection methods.
A procedure for antibody detection and identification that utilizes affinity microcolumns to isolate IgG antibodies in a gel matrix containing Protein G and Protein A was commercially available in recent years. We evaluated this method (ReACT, Red Cell Affinity Column Technology, Immucor Co., Norcross, GA) as an alternative to standard tube agglutination testing, in an effort to minimize subjec...
متن کاملFactors influencing the agglutination of red blood cells, red blood cell stroma, and lymphocytes.
In a recent review of the literature (1,2), many of the problems dealing with cellular agglutination caused by ricin are presented and discussed. Although this phenomenon was first described in 1888 by Stilhnark, reactions involved in the agglutination of cells are poorly understood. The present report is concerned with factors which affect agglutination. Data are presented which show that eryt...
متن کاملThe Agglutination of Red Blood Cells
1. Unsensitized sheep cells suspended in sugar solutions are agglutinated by electrolytes whenever the potential is depressed to 6 millivolts or less, except in the case of MgCl(2) or CaCl(2). 2. With these salts no agglutination occurs although there is practically no potential. The presence of these salts prevents acid agglutination. This is presumably due to a decrease in the "cohesion" betw...
متن کاملA comparison of two automated methods for the detection and identification of red blood cell alloantibodies.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the routine use of two automated systems (OrthoAutoVue Innova, microcolumn, and Immucor Galileo, solid phase) for the screening and identification of irregular red blood cell alloantibodies in samples, analysed in our Transfusion Service during 6 months of normal activity. The study focused particularly on an evaluation of the repeatability of the...
