Q

What is the purpose of a patient autocontrol?

A

To see if the patients have an antibody that will attach to their own cells, which also might interfere with the alloantibody search

Q

Discuss how dosage would appear in the reaction phase of an antibody identification panel.

A

Whenever the corresponding antigen (to patients unexpected antibody) is expressed homozygously, a stronger strength of agglutination is frequently apparent in contrast to the cell lines when the antigen is only expressed heterozygously.

Q

How can you determine if the patient has an unexpected broad thermal range IgM antibody when you are doing gel testing in transfusion services?

A

May miss it because AHG would be anti-IgG, you might catch it if the crossmatch tube is not compatible at IS phase

21
Q

If the check cells don’t show agglutination in an unexpected antibody screen, what might have gone wrong?

A

Too much saline left, poor washing and unattached antibodies are bound to the free AHG so not available to attach to the check cells or forgot the AHG reagent

22
Q

In tube testing how can you distinguish between warm and cold reacting antibodies?

A

Avoid using IS phase.

23
Q

Q

Where are the antigen and antibody from in the autocontrol?

A

Antigen - patients RBCs

Antibody - patient serum/plasma

37
Q

Why do you do an autocontrol?

A

To make sure that an unexpected antibody is not an autoantibody

Where is the antigen from and the antibody from in a crossmatch tube?

A

Antigen - donor RBCs

Q

If you need 2 units of packed cells for your patient that has an unexpected antibody—what formula do you use?

A

2 divided by the % of donor population without the antigen
