Preferred Label : coombs test;
MeSH definition : A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies
(the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect
antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to
detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.;
