PROCESSED RED BLOOD CELLS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Processed red blood cells having storage stability with maintaining original antigenicity of natural natural red blood cells which is obtained by mild treatment of natural red blood cells with a fixing agent in a low concentration and then, optionally, treatment with a reducing agent. A process for producing the same as well as a standard blood cell reagent for blood grouping and a method for blood grouping using the same are also disclosed. Further, the processed red blood cells sensitized with an antigen or antibody, a process for producing the same and a diagnostic method and a diagnostic reagent using the same are also disclosed.
