Book Description
A step-by-step guide to over 50 techniques, procedures, and tests used in the routine grouping and cross-matching of blood and in the routine screening and identification of antibodies in blood transfusion services. Developed specifically for use in workshops and other training courses in Eastern Mediterranean countries, the manual aims to encourage the quality standards needed to ensure blood safety and prevent severe transfusion reactions. Emphasis is placed on the use of manual techniques for the ABO blood grouping of patients and donor samples and for compatibility testing. Apart from detailed instructions for specific procedures and tests, the manual includes advice on the reading and interpretation of tests, the reporting of results, common sources of error, and the comparative advantages and disadvantages of different tests. The manual also describes simple procedures for the preparation of basic reagents.

Book Description
Blood Group Substances: Their Chemistry and Immunochemistry focuses on the characteristics, reactions, sources, and transformations of blood group substances. The book first offers information on human blood group factors and the methods and reagents used in testing for blood group antibodies and antigens. Topics include autoantibody formation and hemolytic anemia, panagglutinable erythrocytes, effects of temperature on hemagglutination, and effects of periodate on blood group substances. The text also ponders on the sources and purification of blood group substances. The publication examines the chemical and immunochemical characterization of blood group substances and immunochemical similarities and differences among blood group substances from various species. The text then takes a look at antibodies to blood group substances and their biological effects, including purification and concentration of blood group antibodies; studies with antibodies labeled with radioactive isotopes; and passage of antibodies through the placenta. The manuscript is a valuable reference for readers interested in blood group substances.
