The use of anti-A and anti-B monoclonal antibodies in forensic medicine

Anti-A and anti-B monoclonal antibodies (MCA) may be used in the analysis of liquid blood, blood and saliva traces in order to detect ABO blood group antigens A and B using common methods of evidence investigation. Use of MCA and isohaemagglutinins anti-A and anti-B in absorbtion-elution reaction during the analysis of minute saliva traces enhances the possibility of establishing the origin of the saliva at the expense of nonsecretor.
