importance of Equine crossmatching

• To prevent transfusion reactionsCrossmatching aims to establish a serological compatibility between the recipient and the donor. The classical technology uses an agglutination reaction to detect alloantibodies produced after a previous transfusion and/or the presence of naturally occurring alloantibodies. As in-house reagents for a complete equine blood typing are not available yet, crossmatching between donors and recipients is currently the most effective way to perform a safe transfusion.

• To avoid foal neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI)Neonatal Isoerythrolysis is a potentially fatal condition in new born foals that results from an incompatibility of blood types between the mare and the foal. It is mandatory to perform a reliable crossmatch at birth using umbilical cord blood and serum/plasma from the mare.

Our Technology

Our equine crossmatch test (minor and/or major) is based on an immuno-chromatographic technology that will detect the presence of immunoglobulin and/or C3 components binding to the red blood cells (RBCs) surface. Our equine crossmatch test will allow you to pick up incompatibilities across all equine blood groups ( A, C, D, K, P, Q, U). A positive result between donor RBCs and recipient serum/plasma will indicate the presence of alloantibodies in pre-transfusion compatibility testing.

Our equine crossmatch test can also be performed to determine if neonatal isoerythrolysis has occured in a foal. The «mare-foal» incompatibility test can be easily done by crossmatching RBCs from the foal umbilical cord blood and serum/plasma from the mare.

A positive result will indicate the presence of alloantibodies in the colustrum.
