title: [Comparison of several methods for detecting anti-erythrocyte alloantibodies].
abstract: The efficacy of different methods for anti-red cell antibodies detection was assessed, variations being found in accordance with the specificity of the alloantibodies. The usefulness of enzyme tests in anti-Rh antibody detection was demonstrated, as well as that of low ionic strength saline solutions in detecting anti-Kell, anti-Duffy and anti-Kidd antibodies. Serum precipitation with 15% polyethyleneglycol 8000 previously to indirect antiglobulin test was found the most sensitive method, providing the best results in all the antibodies studied.
