The antiglobulin neutralization test: a procedure for evaluating the efficacy of washing red cells for antibody elution.
The antiglobulin neutralization test, a procedure designed to detect neutralizing concentrations of IgG, is compared with the sulfosalicylic acid test and the indirect antiglobulin test as a means of evaluating efficacy of protein removal by washing red cells prior to antibody elution. Variables that may affect the results of the antiglobulin neutralization test and the sulfosalicylic acid test are discussed.
