A

Rh: 1, -2, -3, 4, 5

27
Q

What is the most probable genotype using the Fisher-Race nomenclature for the following phenotype: R2r

A

cDE/ce

28
Q

If transfused, which Rh antibody(ies) would you expect a Ror individual to produce?

A
  • Anti-C
  • Anti-E
29
Q

What test is performed to calculate the amount of fetal red cells entering the maternal circulation during a hemorrhage event?

A

Kleihaeur-Betke acid elution test

30
Q

How much whole blood and/or fetal red cells will a standard dose of Rh Immune globulin cover?

A

15 mL of packed cells or 30 mL of whole blood

31
Q

List three ways in which you can inherit the Lu(a-b-) phenotype:

A
  1. Homozygous inheritance of the recessive LuLu gene (Recessive)
  2. Inheritance of an X-linked recessive gene GATA-1 (X-linked recessive)
  3. Inheritance of a mutated, dominant KLFI gene (Dominant inhibitor)
32
Q

List 2 instances when a Dweak test is performed:

A
  1. All donors who initial are immediate spin Rh negative
  2. Rh negative pregnant females
33
Q

What is the ABO Group of antibody screening cells?

A

Group O

34
Q

Using the Weiner nomenclature, what is the Rh genotype of screening cells: SC-I, SC-II, and SC-III?

A
  • SC-I = R1R1
  • SC-II = R2R2
  • SC-III = rr
35
Q

When performing an Indirect Antiglobulin Test (IAT) antibody attachment is observed in which phases?

A

Immediate Spin (optional)

37oC

AHG (antihuman globulin)

36
Q

Refer to the table below:

List 3 actions you could perform to resolve this ABO discrepancy:

A
  1. Check the age of the patient
  2. Incubate reverse group for 30 minutes (do not perform this on a newborn or cord blood sample)
  3. Incubate reverse group at 4oC and incubate for 15 minutes. (Use screening cells as a control)

Patient is probably Group O. The steps above will enhance plasma agglutination.

37
Q

Refer to the table below:

List 3 actions you could do to resolve this ABO discrepancy:

A
  1. Acidify anti-B reagent to pH = 6
  2. Run DAT
  3. Run autocontrol

Patient is most likely Group A. Reaction with anti-B is due to Acquired B-like antigen seen in patients with colorectal cancer or other GI tract conditions.

38
Q

Refer to the table below:

List 3 actions you could perform to resolve this ABO discrepancy:

A
  1. Perform microscopic examination of the reverse group testing
  2. Perform saline replacement technique
  3. Perform IAT
39
Q

Refer to the table below.

How would you interpret this antibody screen?

A

Positive IAT

40
Q

Refer to the table below.

How would you interpret this antibody screen?

A

Invalid IAT

Must repeat test

41
Q

Refer to the table below.

How would you interpret this antibody screen?

A

Positive IAT

42
Q

Refer to the table below.

How would you interpret this antibody screen?

A

Negative IAT

43
Q

Interpret the DAT panel below.

Should you perform an eluate on the sample?

A

DAT = Positive for complement only

No eluate indicated

44
Q

Interpret the DAT panel below.

Should you perform an eluate on the sample?

A

DAT = Positive for IgG and complement

Perform eluate

45
Q

Interpret the DAT panel below.

Should you perform an eluate on the sample?

A

Invalid - DAT panel should be repeated

Do not perform eluate until poly AHG result is confirmed

48
Q

List 3 solutions used to enhance agglutination in IAT?

A
  1. PEG
  2. LISS
  3. 22% Albumin
49
