exlimey Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Interesting question - do rabbit red cells carry CD38 ? I thought I heard/read that removal of anti-CD38 by adsorption was not successful using human cells (which we know carry CD38). Even if rabbit red cells do carry the marker, I assume the same would apply ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Would seem logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollymon Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 The results are in from our testing... DARA is not adsorbed out by RESt. Thanks for the replies! Yanxia, galvania, Bb_in_the_rain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagpinks Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 We have been asked by reference lab to provide informmation if patient is on CD38. It will be useful for them to process the sample. if patient is on DARA how does reference lab process the sample. Do they use different absorption techniques?

They will not waste time on trying to perform alloadsorptions (as these don't work) and will probably perform genotyping from the word go, rather than trying to get a phenotype. To be honest, the submitting hospital should give the Reference Laboratory as much information as they can about ANY patient, whether they be on ANTI-CD38 (gagpinks, they are on a monoclonal antibody - not a monoclonal antigen!!!!!!!!!!!) or not.

MaryPDX Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 The only way I'm aware of is DTT treating the screening cells used. Ensis01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree MaryPDX, but, unless the Reference Laboratory is made aware that the patient has been on Dara, time and reagents can be wasted by trying to sort out the problem by more "traditional" means. dragonlady97213, MaryPDX, Bb_in_the_rain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmm8427 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 A little off topic but related to DARA: Some of my techs are reporting that hand-washing the tubes in tube testing (PeG) versus using a cell washer is more likely to give negative reactions with DARA samples. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard last week that there is another method some of the US ref labs are either using or want to start using for the Dara patients and Kell isn't affected, but I can't for the life of me remember what they said and I haven't had any luck with google.

Has anyone heard anything similar? You may be referring to trypsin-treatment of the red cells (screening cells). Apparently CD38 is destroyed/inactivated (along with Lutheran system determinants) but Kell system antigens remain intact. Other blood group antigens are also affected by trypsin, so I think the modified approach involves testing the patients' samples against both DTT-treated and trypsin-treated cells. To further complicate matters.....manufacturing a reliable, consistent trypsin reagent is VERY difficult. The enzyme activity of source material varies immensely and, as with other enzymes, stability is a problem.

naomitolliver Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I work for an IRL and yes, we treat cells with DTT when we know the patient has received Daratumimab. Recently we are encountering other monoclonal antibody therapies as well, and I am eager to know if anyone has had problems with serological testing related to these therapies? And if so, how do you resolve them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagpinks Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 If patient is on Dara is it safer to ask reference lab to perform X match or we can x match onsite once it's confiremed by RCI that there is no underlying alloantibody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galvania Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It would appear (not published) that some cells from sub-Saharan African donors MAY nor have CD38 on their red cells. So beware if you have a negative result on cells that are ccD.ee, Fya-b- . This might not exclude an anti-CD38. I have seen two such cells and have had reports on others Bb_in_the_rain, Malcolm Needs and JasonS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagpinks Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thank you galvania. But what does your lab usually in terms of X match. Because if we perform xmatch its seems pointless because it would be positive. How can we ensure that units are compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 There are two ways gagpinks. Either you can believe your local RCI Laboratory when they say that there are no atypical alloantibodies detected (and why send them there if you don't believe their results?), or do the work yourself with DTT-treated panel cells. NO TRANSFUSION IS 100% SAFE. gagpinks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We trust RCI result but my worry was if we x match at our hospital it will be definitely incompatible (2 or 3+). I was over thinking that we could have missed out low frequency antibody. Just out of curiosity if we perform x match at RCI do you treat Donor cell with DTT. Of just issue least incompatible unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
