Test Development and Analysis

    Explain the principle of the antiglobulin test. List the steps in the DAT and the IAT tube agglutination procedures and describe the rationale for each step. Discuss the applications of the direct and indirect antiglobulin tests. Given an example of an antibody panel, identify the antibody. Given an example of antigen identification using the indirect antiglobulin method, evaluate the results of the controls and patient’s tests.
