Scope note: Prueba para detectar ANTICUERPOS no aglutinantes frente a los HEMATÍES por empleo de antianticuerpos (reactivo de Coombs). Se aplica la prueba directa a sangre recién extraída para detectar anticuerpos unidos a los hematíes circulantes. Se aplica la prueba indirecta al suero para detectar la presencia de anticuerpos que se pueden unir a los hematíes.

Scope note: A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.
