A

Grading of agglutination reactions:

Forward: 3+ - 4+
Reverse: 2+ - 4+

Any reactions weaker than the standard agglutination is a DISCREPANCY

*General rule: Always drop clear solutions first and RBCs second to make

Acquired B phenomenon

Phenotype:
- Forward:
- Reverse:

A

Acquired B phenomenon

Phenotype:
- Forward: AB
- Reverse: A

65
Q

Mechanism of Acquired B Phenomenon

A

Modification of N-acetylgalactosamine by bacterial enzyme “deacetylase” removing acetylgalactosamine and converting to D-galactosamine that is similar to B antigen which cross-react with anti-B antisera

Use Monoclonal Ab (ES4)
Treat RBCs with Acetic Anhydride

67
Q

Workup for Group I and Group II Discrepancies

70
Q

Remedy - Group III Discrepancy

A

71
Q

Cold Reactive autoantibodies
Cis AB Phenotype
Unexpected ABO isoagglutinins

72
Q

Polyagglutination: T activation, Tn, and HEMPAS

A

Nonspecific agglutination of RBcs with all anti-sera due to altered RBCs from bacterial enzymes that exposes antigens that are normally hidden.

73
Q

A
  1. Agglutination with most ALL ADULT SERA
  2. NO agglutination in CORD SERA
74
