A Quantitative Agglutination Method for the Study of the Specific Agglutination of Micro-organisms [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1952
SUMMARY: A quantitative method for the study of the specific agglutination of micro-organisms is described. The degree of agglutination is estimated from the sedimentation curves of suspensions to which varying amounts of serum are added, which are compared with that of a control suspension without serum.

Diagnosis of Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction Caused by Cold Reactive Anti‐P1 Antibody: A Case Report

iLABMED, EarlyView.
A 65‐year‐old patient developed acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) after receiving P1‐positive red blood cells. The causative anti‐P1 antibody was detectable only at 4°C, evading routine 37°C pre‐transfusion screening. This case highlights that in patients with a repeated transfusion history, dual‐temperature serological testing (37°C and 4°C)
