[Evaluation of a new method for identification of anti-erythrocyte antibodies].

Abstract

The polibrene manual test was evaluated by using three different incubation time periods and its efficacy was compared to other techniques currently in use in our center. We found that when this technique is carried out with a 15 minute incubation period and the addition of antiglobulin, it is decidedly sensitive and can be employed in urgent compatibility testing preceded by "type and screen".
