Q

what is landsteiner’s rule?

Q

secretor status test used for H substance

A

inhibition and neutralization tests

48
Q

why is Anti-AB antiserum used in the lab?

A

detections of subgroups of A weaker than A2

Q

be able to pick mothers and babies who would get Rhogam

R/r to CDE

R determines D. R=D r=d

Q

will time have an effect on antigen/antibody reaction?

A

yes

Q

are lewis antibodies clinically significant?

A

no

Blood will not react with Anti-D

proceed to weak D testing
