Antibody Detection and Identification

Selected Cell Panels

Purpose: To design a set of panel cells that may help you to rule out additional antibodies and lead to the identification of the antibody that is present in the patient's plasma.

Benefit of running selected cell panel: Decreases the use of reagents and specimen.

How to choose selected panel cells: If you suspect that a specific antibody is present, the cells you choose for the select panel should be negative for that antigen and positive for the antigen you are trying to rule out (homozygous state).
