26
Q

↑ anti-M

A

acidify plasma

27
Q

neutralization can help in ABID of…

A

Lewis
P1
Sda (urine)

28
Q

used to resolve interfering known antibodies in ABID

A

auto or allogeneic adsorption techniques

29
Q

Ag typing ensures…

A

consistency of ABID results

30
Q

+ control in Ag typing should be…
why?

A

heterozygous
ensures that the test detects the weakest potential expression of antigen

31
Q

QC is run how often for Ag typing?

A

every day of testing

32
Q

how to select # of units to screen

A

units needed / proportion compatible

33
Q

most discrepancies result from ——–
why we need…

A

tech error

well-written, meticulously followed testing procedures

34
Q

first attempt at resolving a discrepancy problem

A

repeat testing with washed cells

35
Q

often a clue to expect rouleaux

A

multiple myeloma

36
Q

eliminate fibrin (2)

A

dissolves at 37°
dissolved by protamine sulfate

37
Q

Hodgkin lymphoma

A

decreases antigen expression

38
Q

eliminate high titer A or B substance in serum

A

wash
test saliva

39
Q

increases reactivity of ABO abs

A

RT incubation

40
Q

2 lectins used to ID subgroups

A

A1 lectin —reacts with A1 cells
H lectin —helps detect bombay

41
Q

anti——– may help get a stronger forward rxn with subgroups

A

anti-A,B

42
Q

causes of unexpected forward type results (5)

A
  • cold autoAb or alloAb
  • Ab to dyes
  • Acquired B antigen
  • rouleaux or wharton’s jelly
  • transfusion/transplantation
43
Q

resolve cold Ab giving discrepant forward results (2)

A

warm saline wash
DTT (denatures IgM)

44
Q

resolve Ab to dyes giving discrepant forward results

A

wash

45
Q

resolve acquired B antigen giving discrepant forward results (2)

A

repeat with monoclonal, acidified anti-B
autocontrol —anti-B in reverse type does not react

46
Q

explain acquired B

A

caused by GI disturbance (malignancy, obstruction, GN septicemia)
N-acetylgalactosamine is cleaved to give galactosamine
mistaken for D-galactose by some reagents

47
Q

resolve wharton’s jelly

A

wash 4x

48
Q

what do you do after getting an MF rxn?

A

pt hx check

49
