    The detection of anti-leukocyte antibodies by a newly developed method with flow-cytometric immunofluorescence is described. The flow-cytometer we used in this study was Ortho Spectrum III (Ortho Diagnostic Systems Inc.), which is a rather simple apparatus and may provide accurate, reproducible information in the detecting procedure. Using this apparatus, lymphocyte allo-antibodies were detected with high sensitivity in the sera of transfused patients. The patients with high titer of lymphocyte allo-antibodies had been showing post-transfusion reactions with fever at every transfusion. The newly developed method was proved to be a rapid, reliable technique, which may be applied in routine screening of anti-leukocyte antibodies and leukocyte-crossmatch test for a large number of clinical samples.

    Total of 102 patients who received blood transfusion for their cardiovascular surgery were the materials of this investigation.
    The incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis in correlation to guanase (guanine deaminase) activity was studied.
    Diagnosis of post-transfusion hepatitis was made when a patient showed elevation of s-GPT over 100 units in three weeks after surgery. The follow up periods were ranging from three to six months.
    13 patients were developed post-transfusion hepatitis which accounted 12.7% of incidence. Patients were divided into two groups according to the level of guanase activity. Significantry high incidence was observed in the groups of patients who received transfusion with guanase activity over 2.6IU/L (12.7% VS 64.3%, χ20=18.06>χ20 (1, 0.001)=10.83)
    The guanase activity in transfusion blood may be feasible as a parameter for the prevention of posttransfusion non-A, non-B type hepatitis.

    A computer reference system of patient's transfusion informations was developed to prevent an occurence of transfusion errors in practical business. A program is presented in MUMPS language. The transfusion informations include patients' blood group, atipical antibodies, direct Coombs test, pregnant history, transfusion history, transfusion adverse effects, etc. As these information can be refered conveniently and quickly with each terminal computer in Kyoto University Hospital at any time, our system is very effective to protect patients from effects due to transfusion errors.
