Iacs, Do you have a drug history for this patient? Even if he has not received IVIg there are some drugs that can cause anti-D like reactivity. Did you try doing a super-DAT?

Thanks to both who responded.

Is there a device to facilitate cutting hematocrit tubes? I am interested in how others go about the process.

I am jealous. What an interesting read it must be.

This is a very interesting activity. I have already learned 3 things. Since there is an answer without a question, I will post a question to begin again. What was the first blood group to be identified using antiglobulin testing?

Thank-you Malcom and Lara. Our clients have patients that are mulitply transfused (as I am sure we all do) and some have developed anti Lua. The client asks for Lua negative units for these patients. As a customer service issue we want to provide them. Why is it on the aby id panels? Is it to rule out unexpected reactions?

I enjoy the fora and am learning quite a bit. Here is my question. Does anyone have a commercial source for Anti-Lua? I cannot find one. why is this so difficult to develop?

Has anyone ever heard of a naturally occurring Anti-S similar to naturally occurring (that is not a result of immunization) Anti-E?
