摘要 |
A stabilized proteolytic solution has been developed which can be used to treat selected cells, especially red blood cells. A preferred stabilized solution of the invention comprises about 0.1% to about 0.3% ficin in a citrate-buffered saline solution containing mannitol, L-cysteine, dithiothrietol in an active concentration of less than about 10 mM, and EDTA. A kit for qualitatively identifying unexpected blood group antibodies comprising a series of untreated and ficin-treated red blood cells, a stabilized ficin reagent, a red blood cell diluent and an enzyme control is also provided.
