Molecular typing for blood group antigens within 40 min by direct polymerase chain reaction from plasma or serum.

Abstract excerpt

Determining blood group antigens by serological methods may be unreliable in certain situations, such as in patients after chronic or massive transfusion. Red cell genotyping offers a complementary approach, but current methods may take much longer than conventional serological typing, limiting their utility in urgent situations. To narrow this gap, we devised a rapid method using direct polymerase chain reaction...
