ABH neutralizing substance

[Kimba]

Hi,

I am looking to find ABH neutralizing substance. Does anyone know a manufacturer for this product?

Thanks.

DADE used to make a reagent called 'NeutrAB', which neutralised ABO antibodies. If you can find out just who, if anyone, makes it anymore, this could be what you're looking for (if you find it, let me know, I used to like it!).

Baxter used to have a product called NeutrAB, but I think they no longer make it. If no one comes forward, call Ortho tech support. They might tell you a vendor. They added it to some of their rare antisera. I know this because I used some reagent for a student problem and the backtype neutralized repeatedly. Called Ortho to ask and they confirmed. (They sure were concerned as to what I was doing with that antisera. I had to laugh.)

We used to make everyone in the blood bank spit into a tube and used that! That was quite a while ago however!

And I'll bet it worked fine if you had a B in the lab! Kimba, if you had a B and an A secretor in your lab, particularly ones who drool a lot, I bet you could make some yourself (see the AABB tech manual pp. 883-885).
