Malcolm Needs got a reaction from Kelly Guenthner in Letting tube sit to catch rouleaux or cold?
If the test is showing no immediate rouleaux or agglutination due to a "cold reacting" antibody, I'm afraid that I am at a loss to see why anyone would leave the tests to see whether one or the other develops. Rouleaux is clinically insignificant in terms of blood transfusion, and ditto "cold reacting" antibodies, unless they are of wide thermal amplitude (in which case, there would almost certainly be agglutination visible straight away.
Why waste reagents and expensive technician's time investigating a clinically insignificant phenomenon?

Malcolm Needs reacted to Neil Blumberg in Cold auto antibodies
We do not use enzyme treated cells when trying to detect or work up cold agglutinins. No reason to enhance their reactivity in vitro. If they are not detectable by routine LISS at body temperature or antiglobulin methods they are not of clinical importance.
