NAN47 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hi there, I was hoping that someone could help me out with the following grouping anomalies and what their interpretation is. 1)what group would this be - reaction with anti-A -4+, Anti-B - neg, PVP-neg, A1 cells - 2+, B cells 4+ and O cells - 2+ 2)what causes this? reaction with anti-A - 4+, Anti-B -1+, PVP-neg, A cells- neg, B cells-4+ and O cells-neg. thanks Tricia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Sorry to be a pain, but what does PVP mean? Is it the auto (patient versus patient)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galvania Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 1. You've probably got a group A patient with a cold (non-ABO) antibody. Try putting up a room temperature identification panel. It'll probably come up as a P1 or an M or a Lewis or something like that. Or might be an I2. Depends on your reagents but if you are using a reagent that picks up aquired B, that would be my first reaction Malcolm Needs, David Saikin, Sandy L and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry NAN47, I meant to answer earlier, but my answer would have been identical to Anna's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
