| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to develop ABO blood group typing method which is useful after a disaster where we usually have no electric power, no clean areas nor human resources.Such as a giant earthquake and giant tsunami.For ABO blood group typing, we need electrical power, the clean area for collecting venous blood and substantial experience of technologists. We have little electrical power, clean areas and human resources after a disaster, such as like a giant earthquake or a giant tsunami. In this case, there is a need of the method that does not require electrical power, the clean area nor substantial experience.
The sej/sej homozygotes have an low levels of elevated ABH antigen. No activity alleles are very rare in Japanese.It was proved that the ELISA method reported here was useful for most Japanese ABO and Lewis blood group typing, and did not require electrical power and much experience. Further studies are necessary for complete nonsecretors, Rh typing and ABO reverse typing.
