LAB: RED CELL PHENOTYPING Flashcards
why is red cell phenotyping important
because several antigens on red cells may be potent stimulants of antibody production to individuals who do not possess them
red cell phenotyping involves the use of what reagent
AHG
what does AHG detect
antigen-antibody complex
why is it necessary to use coombs reagent in red cell phenotyping
since IgG antibodies are used to complex with the antigens and do not readily bring about agglutination
methods of red cell phenotyping
conventional tube method
gel technology
the methods of red cell phenotyping follows what principle
IAT
what blood groups are involved in red cell phenotyping
lewis
kidd
duffy
which blood group red cell phenotyping does not include incubation
lewis
why do we need to incubate the tubes if there are no prior agglutination observed in red cell phenotyping of Kidd and Duffy
because they are IgG (warm antibodies)
what should be done if there is no agglutination after incubation
wash with NSS and add AHG reagent
