Abstract
A sensitive method for identifying red blood cell antigens or antibodies thereto is provided. A fluorescent bead is conjugated to a receptor specific for a red blood cell antigen (ligand) or alternatively with an antigen for determination of antibodies. The conjugate is mixed with a red blood cell containing composition. A change in fluorescence compared with a control reveals the presence or absence of the antigen or antibody.
