Abstract
The present invention is based on the finding that red blood cell antigens can be exploited as a means to detect red blood cells/erythrocytes. Specifically, by identifying red blood cell antigens which are expressed by substantially all red blood cell types, it is possible to provide a method which achieves the reliable detection of red blood cells.
