Hi Guys
I`m in need of your opinions on interpretation of HI resuts
I`ve attached a couple of annotated plates where I seem to have four different outcomes. Could you read them and say if you agree with my interpretations
What titre you would give samples 354-361
I`m using type-O human RBCs and V-bottom 96-well micro-titre plates.
It seems many but not all studies use U-bottom plates for human RBCs and V-bottom for mostly avain RBCs, have you any experience on differences this makes?
From the literature for V-bottom plates and avian RBCs, antibody positive is recorded as complete tearing/streaming of the RBCs which settle at the bottom of the well rim when the plate it tilted 60o, which is the guide I`ve been using
For U-bottom plates and human RBCs, antibody positive is said to be recorded as formation of an RBC "halo". There is no mention of tilting the plate and observing streaming.
I`ve not seen what I would call a halo, but I do see clear steaming when I do tilt the plate
Any comments would be gratefully received
