Laser damage studies on the RBCs and antibody. (a,b) Examples of typical positive (a) and negative (b) results for laser incubation: (a) Laser incubation gives correct positives and does not dissociate the RBC-antibody complex. (b) Laser incubation does not induce RBC direct agglutination or non-specific binding. (c) Laser-exposed and unexposed antibodies have similar potency indicating the laser does not damage the IgG biomolecules. (d) Flow cytometric analysis of haemolysis for different incubation times and methods. (e) Longer (30 minute) incubations by laser cause more RBC lysis.
