Abstract
Аbstract. Granulocyte antigen-specific autoantibodies may be implicated into pathogenesis of autoand alloimmune neutropenia, neonatal alloimmune neutropenia, and acute pulmonary insufficiency occurring post-transfusion. However, detection and identification of clinically significant granulocyte antibodies still represent a technically difficult task. To detect immunoglobulins and/or activated complement on granulocyte surface, we have adapted a Gel Test (ID Micro Typing System, DiaMed, Switzerland) which is commonly applied for diagnostics of RBC-specific antibodies. Our results suggest that the data from this gel test are quite reproducible, and the system may be used for detection of granulocyte-specific antibodies belonging to different immunoglobulin classes.
