Table 3.

Feline blood type results of 143 EDTA blood samples with agglutination on tube (gold standard) and with gel techniques where GEL mixed-field pattern results considered negative results.

Gel agglutination	Tube agglutination (gold standard)
	A	B	AB	Total (%)
A	98*	0	0	98 (68.5)
B	0	24**	1***	25 (17.5)
AB	0	1	19	20 (14.0)
Total	98 (68.5)	25 (17.5)	20 (14.0)	143 (100)

^*Twenty-one samples showed a mixed pattern in the B GEL column and were interpreted as negative results/absence of agglutination.

^**Four of these samples showed a mixed pattern in the A GEL column and were interpreted as negative results, that is, absence of agglutination,

^***This sample showed a mixed pattern in the A GEL column and was interpreted as negative.
