6. Enzymatic reaction associated with immune complexes.
Enzyme may be linked to either the antigen or the antibody.
Types
Indirect
Competitive
Sandwich
Capture
Solid Phases
Base & sides of polystyrene well

Membrane
Enzyme substrate combinations
Horseradish peroxidase +o-phynxylencdiamine dihydrochloride (OPD) and TMB
Alkaline phosphatase +4-nitrophenylphosphate
7.
8. Antigens are attached on the solid
phase support allowing antibodies in
the specimen to bind and these
bound
antibodies are subsequently detected
by enzyme labeled AHG and specific
substrate.
If test specimen contains antibodies,
color reaction takes place.
Indirect ELISA
Enzyme labeled
AHG
Solid phase antigen
Test
antibody
It is most commonly used system
9. Antigen bound to the solid phase binds antibody in
the test specimen in first step. Since antibody
molecules are bivalent they are still able to bind to
another molecule.
Next similar enzyme labeled viral antigen if added,
will attach to the antibody molecule, already bound
to the solid phase antigen with one arm.
Thus sandwich of antigen-antibody-enzyme labeled
antigen complex is formed.
Addition of substrate results in development of
color which is measured by ELISA reader.

20. Final check of ABO compatibility
To detect Ab in pts serum that reacts with
donor RBC but not with reagent screening cell
panel
Comprehensive check for any antibody
Irregular antibody-non A non B(Anti kell,anti kidd etc)
Major cross match is done(Recipient plasma
with donor red cell)
Minor not routinely done
21. When no clinically significant unexpected Ab are detected &
no previous records of such antibodies
Mix the recipient’s serum & donor RBCs and centrifuging
immediately (i.e., immediate spin). Absence of hemolysis or
agglutination – compatibility
99% effective in preventing HTR,1 % chance to miss
22. Begins as IS crossmatch, continues to a 37C
incubation, and finishes with AHG test
