Abstract: | A new method for the detection of minor C, Cw, c, E, e-antigens of the Rhesus system in blood stains has been developed based on the absorption-elution technique with the use of anti-C, anti-Cw, anti-c, anti-E, and anti-e sera and standard erythrocyte preparations preliminarily treated with highly active proteases (protease C or papain). This method makes it possible to determine complete Rhesus phenotype in blood stains and substantially extend the possibilities of their differentiation on material objects (evidence) for the purpose of forensic-biological examination. |
