Abstract
In our laboratory, saliva stains are routinely ABO grouped by absorption-inhibition and absorption-elution in parallel (1) and if the results do not agree they are not reported. Since a blood sample is rarely received from the accused person in criminal cases, the reliability of the saliva stain grouping is extremely important. Spurious A and or B reactions as a result of bacterial contamination of the saliva sample have been reported (2) but no investigation of state of health of the saliva donor has been published. Consequently the aims of this study were:
-
1)
to investigate, under controlled conditions, the influence of oral infection on the accuracy of grouping saliva stains
-
2)
to evaluate the potential application of one source of monoclonal antibodies to the grouping of these stains.
