[Prenatal AB0(H) blood group determination of amniotic fluid cells by mixed cell agglutination]. 1982

W Keil, and A Takatsu, and G Geserick, and I Ishiyama, and B Kaiser

A modification of the mixed-cell agglutination reaction (MCAR) was used in prenatal AB0(H) blood typing of cells obtained from 41 samples of amniotic fluid. The findings are compared with results obtained from the use of the agglutination inhibition test in testing water-soluble AB0(H) substances of amniotic fluid based on the same samples. For prenatal AB0(H) typing, MCAR exhibited advantages over the agglutination inhibition test. Completion of data in this field will provide a good foundation for prenatal detection and identification of hereditary factors which can be linked with gene loci of the AB0 system.

D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient. Crossmatching is performed prior to transfusion. Blood Typing,Crossmatching, Blood,Blood Grouping,Blood Crossmatching,Grouping, Blood,Typing, Blood

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.

D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
