AMcCord Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Is anyone aware of a vendor who has antisera for Cob (US)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exlimey Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I am not aware of any LICENSED anti-Cob available in the USA. The American Red Cross system uses an unlicensed version for most of its Cob phenotyping requests. I believe Cob can be determined by the HEA BeadChip process (molecular typing). If you have a patient that needs Co(b-) red cells, I think those are your two options: PHENOtyping with an unlicensed reagent or units predicted to be Co(b-) by GENOtyping.

noelrbrown Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 There is no licensed anti COb in the USA, i have a few vials of raw plasma in a freezer that i use for research purposes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 Thanks all - that's what I suspected. My patient's antibody is still reacting fairly strong in solid phase, so I'm relying on crossmatch for Cob donors. Think I"ll freeze some plasma for screening purposes in case his titer drops. noelrbrown and exlimey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
