title: [Detection of IgA defects in blood donors using an enzyme immunoassay].
abstract: An enzyme immunoassay is presented for screening blood donors for IgA-defects using horseradish peroxidase conjugated IgA. Fife of about 4,700 screened donors was found to be IgA-deficient. With another EIA using horseradish peroxidase conjugated monoclonal anti-IgA and IgA coated microplates the IgA-concentration in serum of these selected donors was determined.
