P, Le(a), Fy(a), Kidd
What antibodies are destroyed by enzymes?
Duffy, MNSs
What antibodies are enhanced by enzymes?
Rh, Kidd, Lewis, I, P
What antibodies show dosage?
MNSs, Kidd, Rh, Duffy

How do you perform an autoabsorption?
Patient cells + Patient serum allows for antibodies to be absorbed out of the serum. Then use absorbed serum to test for antibodies.
Procedure used for elution in antibody identification?
Removal of antibodies from red cells; then use eluate to identify the antibody
