RESUMO

Erythrocytes may be coated with blood group antibodies with or without reacting complement or sometimes apparently with complement alone. This may occur in vivo in such conditions as autoimmune acquired haemolytic anaemia, haemolytic disease of the newborn, or after transfusions of incompatible blood. It may occur in vitro also by the deliberate sensitization of erythrocytes during laboratory serological investigations.
