| description | Introduction: The ABO blood group system was the significant
element for forensic serological examination of blood and body
fluids in the past before the wide adaptation of DNA typing. A
significant proportion of individuals (80%) are secretors, meaning
that antigens present in the blood are also found in other body
fluids such as saliva. Absorption inhibition is one such method that
works by reducing strength of an antiserum based on type and
amount of antigen present in the stains.
Aim: To check the efficacy of identifying the blood group antigens
in saliva and to know the secretor status using absorption inhibition
method among southern Rajasthan population.
Materials and Methods: Blood and saliva samples were collected
from 80 individuals comprising 20 individuals in each blood group.
The absorption inhibition method was used to determine the blood
group antigens in the saliva and then the results were correlated
with the blood group of the collected blood sample. The compiled
data was statistically analysed using chi-square test.
Results: Blood groups A & O revealed 100% secretor status for
both males and females. While blood groups B and AB revealed
95% secretor status.
Conclusion: Secretor status evaluation of the ABO blood group
antigen in saliva using absorption inhibition method can be a useful
tool in forensic examination. |
