Accuracy of CARD, CHROM, GEL, and SLIDE methods of feline blood typing as compared with the TUBE gold-standard method.

Typing method (%)	No. of cats tested	A antigen detection		B antigen detection		Overall accuracy (%)

		Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)
CARD	58	93.2	100.0	95.7	97.1	91.4
CHROM	58	97.7	100.0	95.7	97.1	94.8
GEL	490	100.0	100.0	100.0	99.3	99.4
SLIDE	487^*	100.0	100.0	98.8	99.0	99.0

Data for the SLIDE test were calculated after exclusion of 3 of the 490 blood samples that could not be determined through this method because of persistent autoagglutination.
