Q

What drug prescribed for multiple myeloma causes problems with antibody testing and Why? What would the screen and panel look like?

A

Darzalex is often mistaken as autoantibody or alloantibody and causes pan-reactivity. The DAT can be positive

Q

Chimerism and how it affects blood typing

A

Chimerism is a mixture of donor and recipient cell populations after hematopoetic stem cell transplants. This determines if there was a successful transplant and if further testing in needed

Q

Why do we test for weak D?

A

To make sure the patient in negative and to see if patient is a candidate for Rhogam, and to make anti-D transfusion decisions

25
Q

Why is it important to run a control sample along with the patient sample?

A

To make sure anti-sera is working and to make sure patient cells are not already coated with IgG

26
Q

Weak D

A

Quantitative change in D antigen expression, Rh positive

27
Q

Partial D

A

Qualitative change in D antigen usually from recombination wit C/E gene locus, can test as Rh positive but more alloantibodies to D antigen, transfuse with Rh negative blood and give RhD immune globulin to prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn

28
Q

What does in vivo mean?

A

The antibodies are bound to the RBCs inside the body

29
Q

What further testing does a positive adult DAT require?

A

monospecific DAT with Anti-IgG and anti-C3d

30
Q

What does the further testing in a positive adult DAT tell us?

A

If a person has autoimmune hemolytic anemia

31
Q

Elution

A

process that dissociates antigen-antibody complexes on RBCs, freed IgG antibody is tested for specificity

32
Q

Adsorption

A

technique using RBCs to remove RBC antibodies from a colution

33
Q

1 cause of transfusion reactions

A

Clerical errors

34
Q

HLA cause what kind of reaction?

A

Febrile

35
Q

ABO incompatibility causes what kind of reaction?

A

Acute hemolytic

36
Q

Alloantibody cause what kind of reaction?

A

Delayed hemolytic

37
Q

Transfusion of large volumes cause what kind of reaction?

A

TACO

38
Q

IgA deficiency cause what kind of reaction?

A

Anaphylactic
