Definition
Reagents containing immunoglobulines used in the blood rhesus typing. The immunoglobulins capable of binding to specific antigenic determinants. This reagent is intended to be used in testing a clinical specimen for Rh(D) red blood cell antigens from the rhesus system, using an agglutination method (clumping).
Used together with the anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB and Rhesus negative blood grouping reagents.

MSF requirements
The 5 reagents for blood grouping (anti-AB, anti-A, anti-B, anti Rh D, Rhesus negative control) must all come from the same manufacturer. This is the reason why we close the article to 1 manufacturer.
