Attempts to determine the Lewis phenotypes of dried bloodstains.
Whole bloods and body secretions are routinely examined for their Lewis factors; however, no method for typing dried bloodstains in this system currently exists. This research investigated the use of absorption elution. Antigoat immunoglobulins were used to aid agglutination of indicator cells.
