Description

Low ionic strength saline (LISS) is a potentiating agent that decreases the repelling charges between red cells (zeta potential), thus packing the reds cells closer together for increased antibody bridging. This then decreases the incubation time for the sensitization phase in the antibody screening. A downside to using LISS is that it enhances the expression of cold antibodies and auto-antibodies that may not be significant. Also, the ratio of serum to red cells must be adhered to strictly to maintain the ionic strength of the mixture. If ionic strength is too high, false negatives may occur, and if it is too low, false positives due to complement binding may occur. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
