Q

Interpreting antibody panels - rule out (cross out)

A
  1. On row of antigens at top of antigram, cross out those that are present on cells that didn’t react in any phase.
  2. Circle antigens that aren’t crossed out. An antibody to 1 or more of these may be present.
  3. Look for matching patterns, e.g., if serum only reacted with cells #3 & #5, and E antigen is only on cells #3 and #5, the antibody is most likely anti-E

An antibody will react with all cells that possess the corresponding antigen (except for weak antibodies that only react with homozygous cells). An antibody won’t react with any cells that lack the corresponding antigen.

350
Q

Interpreting antibody panels - testing with selected cells

A

If other antibodies can’t be ruled out, further testing with selected cells might be required. Cells selected for testing should be positive for only 1 antigen corresponding to antibodies in question, e.g., if pattern reactivity matches anti-Jka, but anti-K and anti-S can’t be ruled out, serum should be tested with cells of the following type:
*Jk(a-), K+, S-
*Jk(a-), K-, S+

Q

Interpreting antibody panels - Confirmation

A

Conclusive ID requires testing sufficient numbers of cells that are positive and negative for the corresponding antigen, e.g., 3 positive & 3 negative. Some labs use other combinations that provide the same probability (p) value of <=0.05 (I.e., 95% confidence level that the antibody ID is correct). Once the antibody is identified, type patients RBCs for corresponding antigen. Should be negative.
