Donath-landsteiner
<investigation> A serologic blood test used to detect antibody in serum in cases of suspected paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria.

The antibody is directed toward the P-antigen complex which is located on the surface of red blood cells. In some way, cold temperatures trigger the antibody to bind to this site.
