Hi- do you remember where you saw the article about the Tango carryover? I would very much like to read that.
-
It came via email from my reference lab. It is from a podcast on Blood Bank Guy.
"You might already know about the “Dara Effect” described by Dr. Kaufman at 00:38:23 of this podcast http://www.bbguy.org/2016/05/31/bbge-010-dr-rick-kaufman-daratumumab/
In Dr. Kaufman’s lab, one of the automated instruments they use is the Tango. They have realized that if you run a DARA patient sample through the machine, the rinse cycle is insufficient to get rid of the anti-CD38. In fact, the next patient sample that would be run through (a healthy patient who has NO HISTORY of DARA for example) will show a panagglutinin in their antibody screen! But really it is just carry-over."
