We, at the Lab of immunogenetics and Transplantion at Oregon Health Sciences
University, use a single donor blood group "AB" male serum as our negative
control. We recalcified a unit of AB plasma from our local blood bank, and have
found it to be very reliable over the 3 years that we have used it.
We found that the pooled negative control products gave us too much variability.
If you have any more questions, feel free to write to me directly.
