Study Notes
Direct Haemagglutination Test
- Based on the principle of direct haemagglutination
- Red blood cells have specific blood grouping surface antigens
Antigen-Antibody Reaction
- A antigen reacts with A antibodies
- B antigen reacts with B antibodies
- AB antigen reacts with both A and B antibodies
- D antigen reacts with D antibodies
Agglutination Reaction
- Antigen-antibody reaction causes direct agglutination
- Agglutination observed through clumping of red blood cells

Agglutination Reaction
- Antigen-antibody reaction causes direct agglutination
- Agglutination observed through clumping of red blood cells
Forward Grouping
- Patient's red blood cells are mixed with reagents containing antibodies to specific red cell antigens
- Antibodies used include anti A, anti B, anti AB, and anti D
- Agglutination occurs if patient's red blood cells react with a specific antibody
- Blood type is determined based on the reaction with the specific antibody
