A Coomb's test will indicate the formation of antibodies on the red blood cell. This test can be used to determine blood type, and diagnose certain hemolytic anemias. A Coombs' test may also indicate the prescense of maternal antibodies against the fetal blood type as occurs in erythroblastosis fetalis.

What does Coombs indirect mean?

Coombs indirect refers to the indirect Coombs test, a laboratory procedure used to detect antibodies against red blood cells in a patient's serum. This test is commonly employed in blood transfusion compatibility testing and in diagnosing hemolytic anemia or Rh incompatibility in pregnancy. By mixing the patient's serum with red blood cells of known antigenicity, the test identifies whether antibodies are present, which could lead to agglutination of the red blood cells.

How can you make Coomb's control cells in indirect anti-globulin test?

Preparing Coombs control cells is very easy. To about 10 drops of washed O Positive red cells add 5-6 drops of anti-D antisera. Incubate at 37C for 15 minutes. Wash 4 times then prepare a 3 to 5% cell suspension. To verify reaction, add two drops of AHG into test tube and one drop of newly prepared Coombs cells. Centrifuge on High for 15 seconds,,,should get 1 -2 + reaction.
