| Exception to Homozygous Rule Sometimes with Rh or K antibodies present, it may be difficult to find enough homozygous cells to use for rule out. In these cases, you can use heterozygous cells for rule out as long as you have at least 1 homozygous rule out reaction for that antibody. Only do this if you have checked all other available panels and your screen cell anagram reactions for possible homozygous cell reactions to use for rule out.If potential clinically significant antibodies cannot be ruled out completely with the first panel tested, then cells from other panels will need to be selected for testing. These are known as selected cell panels. | View Page |
| Case Study - Case 4 A 72 year old male with a previous history of a cold antibody is in the ICU with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The doctor has ordered 8 units of packed red cells to be crossmatched at all times for this patient.The patient's ABO/Rh is B positive.The current antibody screen is positive in both the immediate spin phase and the AHG phase.Anagram resultsResults of the anagram show the presence of an antibody that reacts at immediate spin and AHG. Because Screen cell 1 is negative at the IS phase and positive at AHG, there are possibly multiple antibodies present (IgM and IgG).Antibody PanelSelected Cell Panel 1Enzyme PanelSelected Cell Panel 2 | View Page |
