3.2 Effect of the red blood cell phenotype

Phenotypes R1R1, R1R2, R1r´, and R1r were tested to optimize the assay. The values of estimated concentrations (means-standard deviations-CV%) suggest that the tests are reproducible for each sample and each phenotype (Table 1). The R1R1 and R1R2 phenotypes presented a greater fluorescence signal, and, therefore, a greater amount of Anti-D was adsorbed than the rest of the phenotypes (Figure 8).
