Antibodies (agglutinins ) in plasma are considered
naturally occurring; that is produced without any

Agglutination process in Transfusion
Reactions

so that anti-A or anti-B plasma agglutinins are mixed
with red blood cells that contain A or B agglutinogens.
Treatment
Replacement of the blood of
the baby with Rh-ve O blood.
(Exchange transfusion)
Procedure:
Divide a clean glass slide into three equal divisions using
a glass marking pencil, then label these divisions anti-A,
anti-D and anti-B respectively.
A D B
Place a drop of anti-A serum, anti-D
serum, and anti-B serum in the
respective divisions.
A B D
Prick a finger with a sterile lancet, and add one drop of
blood to each anti-serum. With the help of a clean wood
stick, mix the blood & anti-sera thoroughly. Use separate
wood sticks for separate sera.
A D B
- Clumped red cells give a coarse reddish granular
appearance.
