Trial of ABO and Rh blood typing with an automated blood cell counter

Clinical and Laboratory Haematology

Abstract

We designed a method for ABO and Rh typing using a blood cell counter. Blood specimens were diluted with physiological saline, mixed with an antiserum, and incubated. The cell count and size distribution curves were obtained by an automated blood cell counter. The samples with agglutination had a decreased cell count and a characteristic size distribution curve with a population of doublet cells on the right side. The results were correlated with the degree of agglutination observed by the manual method, used as a reference. It should be possible to adapt blood cell counters for use in blood typing.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
