MAGNETIC IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC METHODS AND KITS FOR THE DEMONSTRATION OF ANTIBODY/ANTIGEN COMPLEXES IN ERYTHROCYTE BLOOD GROUPING AND PHENOTYPING

摘要

The present invention relates to magnetic immunodiagnostic methods for the determination of antibody/antigen complexes of blood group and phenotype. Such methods involve the detection and/or identification of antibodies or antigens, preferably anti- antigen antibodies or antigens of a blood group. These methods involve a suspension of magnetic particles coated with an antibody anti - glycophorin A that can recognize and specifically magnetize erythrocytes. The invention also includes kits for carrying out such methods.
