    Hello. sorry about the delayed reply. We worked further on this case and turned out the pooled AB plasma that we have frozen did not react with neuraminidase-treated cells (another aliquot of NeuNac treated cells) but fresh AB plasma did. We did test this patient's cells with fresh AB plasma and got a positive reaction. We have to try not to used frozen/thawed AB pooled plasma for this test in the future :)

    why the frozen/thawed AB plasma not react with the treated cells?

  2. We usually do test a specimen when we admit a patient the blood type, then inpute the result into the computer, where through network the doctor can see the result.When they ask for blood , they will write the first blood type result on the sheet, then we will recheck it through a new specimen for transfusion crossmatch.

    Sometimes the first result is wrong due to wrongly specimen collection or other reasons, but most of the time it is right, and through this kind of process, we can find out the D neg blood type early( which is rare in Chinese Han people) and AB subgroup blood early before the blood application.

  3. Have this patient been transfused ? If it had, then maybe the allogentibodies coated with transfused cells, then caused the pos DAT, which would show mixed field .

     Or the autoantidies are weak, they can only coated with red cells, no free autoantibodies showed on the circulation, then they will not interfere with the crossmatch and screen.

    if group A or B must we wash it to remove the plasma or not ?

    you said the baby is AB type, so the A or B donor must be washed.

    Because the plasma will react with the red cells of the baby's.

  5. 1.I prefer to use O washed blood  cells for neonate less than 4 month old

    2.one donor

    3. one donor is best, but it kind of difficult to do , since the plasma after thawing has shorter shelf life than red cells components

    It is because serum would have Ca++, Mg++ and Mn++ ions present (needed to activate the classical complement pathway beyond initiation), whereas EDTA will, in effect, remove these ions from plasma by chelation.

    An ABO mis-match is far "easier" to detect using serum than plasma, and may even lead to haemolysis of the test cells, however, in both cases, IF the plasma of the proposed recipient has high levels of Type 1 ABO antigen (the ABO substance that is soluble in the plasma/serum - in other words the proposed recipient is a "strong secretor"), there is a slight danger, albeit slight, that this ABO substance may inhibit the reagent anti-A and/or anti-B, causing false negative results.

    Thank you very much for the explanation.

    Just a little confusion:D how do the  Ca++, Mg++ and Mn++ ions infect the agglutination? does it because the complements can enhance agglutination or because the complements caused haemolysis is a sign of ABO mis-match?

     

  7. Yes, we use this kind of method to determine if there is ABO HDN present, putting the elution with reagent A,B,O cells respectively in the refrigerator( 4 degree C) overnight, then gently tip the tubes  to see the agglutination.

    The O cells is as a negtive control, in case there are other cold antibodies interfere with the test.

  8. it is a long post to me :P

    the first one, i often see B antigens are  weaker than A antigens on our newborns, but ont as weak as 1+, i think it maybe an ABsubgroup.

    the second one,"Lutheran antibodies have not been implicated in immediate haemolytic transfusion reactions, although they may have been responsible for mild delayed reactions and post-transfusion jaundice."I think the symptom after transfusion fit it.
