[The use of anti-AHP as a test reagent on blood group documentation cards]. / Uber den Einsatz von Anti-AHP als Testreagenz auf Blutgruppendokumentationskarten

ABSTRACT

In principle it is possible to use anti-AHP upon bedside test cards for the purpose of blood group documentation. In accordance with the individual quality of the anti-AHP substance an optimal concentration has to be determined and retained. With regard to the rapidity of responses and their strength the anti-AHP involves advantages towards the human anti-A test serum. However, the reliability of reading the results will be slightly limited by the appearance of very fine pseudoagglutinates towards O and B blood corpuscles.
