Blood group reagents	Minimum number of control cells to be tested
Only by recommended techniques where reactivity against these antigens is claimed.
Note: Polyclonal reagents must be tested against a wider panel of cells to confirm specificity and exclude presence of unwanted contaminating antibodies.
