متن کاملMolecular Screening for Vel- Blood Donors in Southwestern Germany.
BACKGROUND The SMIM1 protein carries the Vel blood group antigen, and homozygosity for a 17 bp deletion in the coding region of the SMIM1 gene represents the molecular basis of the Vel- blood group phenotype. We developed PCR-based methods for typing the SMIM1 17 bp (64-80del) gene deletion and performed a molecular screening for the Vel- blood type in German blood donors. METHODS For SMIM1 g...
متن کاملEvaluation of hemoglobin screening methods in prospective blood donors.
This study evaluates the performance characteristics of the copper sulfate screening test in routine bloodmobile operations and compares the performance of the copper sulfate test with that of a miniphotometer method of hemoglobin measurement. The copper sulfate and miniphotometer tests provide equivalent pass/fail classification of male donors with a high sensitivity and total efficiency. For ...
متن کاملScreening blood donors by nucleic acid amplification technology in Turkey
Volunteer blood donors are screened for hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection by various immunoassay methods in Turkey. The risk of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) negative and positive nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) samples is not clearly understood yet. The purpose of this study is to screen for such donors in Turkey by a comm...
متن کاملEffectiveness of confidential unit exclusion for screening blood donors
The confidential unit exclusion (CUE) option in the process to screen blood donors was conceived in the 1980s as a possible means to reduce the risk of transfusion transmission of HIV before sensitive tests became available. The use of CUE allows blood donors at increased risk for HIV or other sexually-transmitted diseases who may feel pressured to complete the donation, or who are inappropriat...
