Q

When Rh-positive RBC samples are typed for the D antigen, they are expected to

A

react strongly with anti-D reagents

37
Q

RBCs carrying the weaker D antigen have
historically been referred to as having the

A

Du type

38
Q

Du type is now referred to as

A

expressing weak D

39
Q

Weak D result is considered as

A

Rh positive

40
Q

Weak D variation

A

▪ Weak D patient = Rh negative
▪ Weak D Donor = Rh positive
▪ GENERALLY WEAK D = Rh positive

41
Q

Three different mechanisms of weak D

A

o Genetic Weak D
o C trans
o Partial D (D mosaic)

42
Q

46
Q

Expression of D antigen
is Normal.

A

C is in cis position to D

47
Q

expression of D antigen
is Weakened.

A

C is trans position to D

48
Q

One or more parts of the D antigen is missing

A

Partial D or D mosaic

49
Q

The anti-D made by individuals expressing
partial D can cause

A

HDN or HTR (transfusion reaction)

50
Q

WEAK D DETERMINATION

A
  • Incubate cells with anti-D at 37°C, coating of D
    antigens will occur if present.
  • Wash using the AHG
  • Wash 3X add AHG on the 3rd wash
    AHG will bind to anti-D coating cells if present.
