Successful transfusion of Chido-positive blood to two patients with anti-Chido.

Two cases are described in this report in which patients with anti-Chido in the serum were transfused with Chido-positive blood. Since there was evidence of normal survival of the transfused red blood cells, these findings do not support a suggestion that patients with anti-Chido may require transfusion with Chido-negative blood. In spite of the apparently normal survival of the Chido-positive blood, a previous report in which it was shown that weakly Chido-positive blood can stimulate the production of anti-Chido was confirmed.

Use of a low-ionic-strength medium in manual tests for antibody detection.

The present observations confirm the value of suspending red blood cells in a low-ionic-strength medium in the first stage of the indirect antiglobulin test; that is, during the period of incubation with antibody-containing serum. The main advantage of this procedure is to shorten the time of incubation. In this respect a low-ionic-strength medium appears to be superior to albumin as a suspending medium for the red blood cells. A further advantage is to increase the uptake of certain antibodies; this effect was pronounced with selected Rh antibodies believed to be of low affinity.
