Abstract

The use of polyethylene glycol additives to enhance the detection of clinically significant alloantibodies in serum has been widely described. This report outlines several cases in which polyethylene glycol additives were added to eluate test systems to enhance the detection of alloantibodies in recently transfused patients. Immunohematology 1994;10:19.
