Abstract

Absorption-inhibition is a well-established method for the identification of ABO(H) antigens in human body fluids submitted as evidence in sexual offense cases. Absorption-elution has been proposed [1] as an alternative method to inhibition for typing this material. Absorption-elution has several potential advantages over absorption-inhibition, including sensitivity and widespread use.
