A proposed modern technique for determination the blood group typing by monitoring the agglutination of red blood cells using acousto-optical technique and digital camera. The method based on analysis the digital image of the agglutination process by MATLAB software. We present an overview of two acousto-optic sensing approaches; the first demonstrates the cuvette approach while the second is the microscope slide approach. The cuvette approach digital image analyzing depends on the green channel distribution of the original image and count the brighten pixels, while the microscope slide approach passes through series of algorithms started with grayscale filter and end with edge detection it counts the different color pixels. The experimental result shown that it is possible to enhance the determination of blood group typing by using acousto-optical technique in both cases of using isohemagglutinating sera as well as the crossmatch test in a short time and high efficiency compared with the traditional methods.

Abstract Anomeric configuration of oligosaccharides usually is established by specific glycosidases. For this purpose detergents achieving water solubility of primarily insoluble glycosphingolipids as substrates have been replaced by delipidated hum an serum high density lipoproteins. The new method, tested by several well characterized glycosphingolipids and glycosidases, finally was applied to the evaluation of anomeric structures of two blood-group B active glycosphingolipids [ceramide hexa-saccharide (B-I) and ceramide octasaccharide (B -II)] from hum an erythrocyte membranes. In both B-I and B-II, α-glycosidic linkage was dem onstrated for the term inal galactose and fucose residues. β-glycosidic linkage has been evaluated for backbone saccharides. Together with the results pre­ viously obtained by composition analysis, linkage analysis and sequence analysis the following complete structure can be established:B -I: Galα1 → 3Gal (2 ← 1αFuc)β1 → 4GlcNAcβ1 → 3Galβ1 → 4Glcβ1 → 1Cer;B-II: Galα1 → 3Gal (2 ← 1αFuc)β1 → 4GlcNAcβ1 → 3Galβ1 → 4GlcNAcβ1 → 3Galβ1 → 4Glcβ1 → 1Cer.

Sequencing of the human genome has led to the definition of the genes for most of the relevant blood group systems, and the polymorphisms responsible for most of the clinically relevant blood group antigens are characterized. Molecular blood group typing is used in situations where erythrocytes are not available or where serological testing was inconclusive or not possible due to the lack of antisera. Also, molecular testing may be more cost-effective in certain situations. Molecular typing approaches are mostly based on either PCR with specific primers, DNA hybridization, or DNA sequencing. Particularly the transition of sequencing techniques from Sanger-based sequencing to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has led to exciting new possibilities in blood group genotyping. We describe briefly the currently available NGS platforms and their specifications, depict the genetic background of blood group polymorphisms, and discuss applications for NGS approaches in immunohematology. As an example, we delineate a protocol for large-scale donor blood group screening established and in use at our institution. Furthermore, we discuss technical challenges and limitations as well as the prospect for future developments, including long-read sequencing technologies.
