Abstract

This study validated a new strategy to minimize the interference of DARA on immunohematological tests. The protocol preserves the integrity of RBC antigens, permitting the detection of antibodies from all blood group systems. The BMAP has potential use in other situations where specific antibodies may interfere with pretransfusion screening.
