Abstract
The immunostaining method of ABO blood determinants in tissue sections is useful when surgical tissue specimens, submitted for diagnosis, are improperly identified. This article reports two cases in which the surgical specimens became mixed-up and the ABO immunostaining method was used to identify the patients’ tissues correctly and prevent unnecessary surgery.Keywords
