High impact information on ABO

  • ABO blood grouping of human bloodstains was performed by a sandwich ELISA using a species-specific monoclonal antibody to the amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain of human red cell membrane band 3 [1].
  • Even when bloodstains were contaminated by other body fluids (e.g., semen and saliva), only the ABO blood group epitopes on band 3 of the red cell membrane were detected [1].
  • In addition, we applied this method to casework samples, and successfully determined ABO genotypes of bones, teeth, muscles, organs, nails, and semen-contaminated vaginal fluid in which ABO grouping by conventional serological techniques was not possible [2].
 

Biological context of ABO

  • Using this method, we were able to determine ABO genotypes of minute stain samples, heated bloodstains, aged bloodstains and mixed samples [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of ABO

  • ABO blood grouping of bloodstains by sandwich ELISA using monoclonal antibody specific for human red cell band 3 [1].
  • This new method enables the sensitive, simultaneous detection of six SNP sites in the ABO gene by two specific reactions, i.e. PCR and a primer extension reaction [2].
