Anti-human globulin (AHG) reagents are widely applied in pretransfusion compatibility tests. The accuracy of detection with AHG reagents is mainly affected by irregular antibodies or cold agglutinins in blood samples, which are related to the human complement system. Although much has been written about various types and applications of AHG reagents, their characteristics, interference factors and optimal selection in pretransfusion compatibility tests still need to be further clarified. Here, we review clinical practice and basic studies that describe each AHG reagent, summarize the advantages and disadvantages of using different AHG reagents in the presence of cold agglutinins or complement-fixing antibodies, explore the potential mechanisms by which the complement system influences detection with AHG reagents and address the question of how to optimally select AHG reagents for clinically significant antibody detection.

Despite knowing the benefits of the type and screen (TS) method in pre-transfusion testing (PTT), most transfusion centers in developing countries continue to be reluctant to adopt a TS strategy over the conventional type and antihuman globulin (AHG) crossmatch (TX) policy in their routine laboratory practice because of the cost of obtaining antibody screening reagents. To generate strong evidence, this multicenter, observational study was conducted in which we collected data prospectively over a 1-year period from six major blood centers in India. The primary objective of this study was to identify the discordance between TS and TX results.

A novel sustainable hydrogel catalyst based on the reaction of sodium alginate naturally extracted from brown algae residue with copper(ii) was prepared as spherical beads, namely Cu(ii)-alginate hydrogel (Cu(ii)-AHG). The morphology and structural characteristics of these beads were elucidated by different techniques such as SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR and TGA analysis. Cu(ii)-AHG and its dried form, namely Cu(ii)-alginate (Cu(ii)-AD), are relatively uniform with an average pore ranging from 200 nm to more than 20 μm.

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are potential green systems that can be used as reagents, extraction agents and reaction media. DESs are often biodegradable, easy to prepare and have low toxicity. In this work, a recyclable DES formed from aminoguanidine hydrochloride and glycerol (AhG) was used as a reaction medium and reagent (aminoguanidine hydrochloride) for the production of cationic nanocelluloses.
