Three out of 28 commercial preparations of bovine serum albumin have been
encountered which have an inhibitory effect on the assay of anti-Rh(o)(D) using the Technicon
AutoAnalyser. The inhibitory property, which can also be demonstrated by standard
manual serological techniques, appears to be directed towards the second stage of the
agglutination reaction. An automated screening procedure for bovine serum albumin
preparations and some properties of the inhibitor are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
