Bashar was tasked with finding an expert to talk to about blood banking.

FOUR Antibodies. THREE Animals. TWO Crying Haem Registrars. ONE TEST - The MAIPA. Actually maybe more than two crying haem registrars. How many antibodies are too many antibodies to have inside a lab test? One? That’s just a DAT. Two? A mere sandwich ELISA. But the Monoclonal Antibody Immobilisation of Platelet Antigens (MAIPA) - that’s not just three but FOUR separate antibodies in the same test. If somehow you’ve made it this far thinking there wasn’t enough immunohaematology for you then i...
