		In the Coombs test, washed red blood cells from the patient are incubated with the Coombs reagent at 37 C. The Coombs reagent is polyvalent and contains species-specific anti-IgG, anti-IgM and anti-C antibodies.
		When the patient's blood is reacted with the Coombs reagent (antiserum), the antibodies in the Coombs reagent bind to the antibodies attached to the erythrocytes, causing agglutination.
		Coombs tests should be performed as soon as possible after collection, so the sample should be shipped overnight, to reduce the numbers of false negatives or positives.

	Coombs test? - ValueMD Medical Schools Forum
		A direct coombs on mom would only detect the Abs which may have attached to her RBC's, but this would not happen to her own RBC's because she is Rh- and the Abs are against Rh+ blood.
		So a better option is to get an indirect coombs test to look for Abs floating around (not attached to RBCs) in mom's plasma instead.
		A negative indirect Coombs' test for Rh factor (Rh antibody titer) in a pregnant woman means that she has not developed antibodies against the blood of her fetus (if her fetus has Rh-positive blood).
