Soluble recombinant proteins can be used to inhibit haemagglutination of ‘nuisance’ antibodies, or therapeutic monoclonal antibodies allowing identification of underlying clinically significant antibodies. They are pre-incubated with patient serum or plasma before addition of the inhibited patient sample to panel red blood cells.

These products are available to UK transfusion services and overseas customers.
