In this course we build on knowledge of antigen-antibody reactions, focussing on aspects that help us understand reactions observed when testing in the laboratory. In this second course we build on knowledge of antigen-antibody reactions, focusing on aspects that help us understand reactions observed when testing in the laboratory. Content includes exploration of inherent properties of red cells, antigens and antibodies that impact antigen-antibody reactions. The course also looks at environmental conditions that influence antigen-antibody reaction occurrence and strength, and the ways reaction environments can be adapted to enhance detection of reactions.
