Standard test results: Normal Person

Forward and Reverse ABO types match
Antibody screen negative

Crossmatch is negative with ABO
compatible RBCs
(Direct Antiglobulin Test negative)
Identify cause of abnormality when:

Antibody screen is positive
Forward and reverse ABO typing dont match Crossmatch positive; negative antibody screen

Hypothesis
The positive antibody screen was due to anti-E
Anti-E explains all of the reactions. (Note dosage effect)
When is the hypothesis regarding the antibody specificityProved?

1. 3 antigen positive cells are reactive 2. 3 antigen negative cells are non-reactive 3. Clinically significant and common antibodies are ruled out
Rh (anti-D, -C, -c, -E, -e) Duffy (anti-Fya, -Fyb) MNSs (anti-M, -N, -S, -s) P system (anti-P1) Kell (anti-K, -k) Kidd (anti-Jka, -Jkb) Lewis (anti-Lea, -Leb)
4. The patient LACKS the corresponding antigen
