RESULTS OF TESTING OF A COMMERCIAL ANTI-HUMAN HEMOGLOBIN REAGENT UNDER EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS AND IN FORENSIC CASEWORK EXAMINATIONS.
Abstract
THE IMMUNOGLOBULIN PREPARATION USED WAS SHOWN TO REACT WITH HUMAN HAEMOGLOBIN AND BABOON HAEMOGLOBIN IN SIMILAR FASHION. THE SENSITIVITY OF THE REAGENT IS ADEQUATE TO ESTABLISH THE PRESENCE OF HUMAN HAEMOGLOBIN IN HUMAN BLOODSTAINS. THE USE OF ANTI-HUMAN HAEMOGLOBIN REAGENTS IN MEDICOLEGAL WORK IS ADVOCATED.
