Abstract
We compared the method of indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) with that of specific red blood cell adherence (SRCA) for detecting ABH blood group substance (BGS) on stage O papillary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. In evaluating BGS "positivity" or "negativity" both methods gave identical results. The IIF is somewhat easier to perform and less subjective in interpretation while the SRCA method needs only a conventional light microscope and the slides themselves are permanent "records". In cases of questionable reactivity with the SRCA, the IIF was a helpful adjunct. The IIF method is a viable option to the SRCA method when studying TCC for BGS.
