If you can't get the reverse type to come up within the limitations of the reverse cells manufacturers directions, then I think you would have to discard the donation, as a valid ABO cannot be obtained. Just thinking from a regulatory standpoint... -
Question for Dr. Pepper. Do you ZZAP treat the autologous cell prior to PEG adsorptions? Currently we only have a procedure for saline autoadsorptions, after pre-treating with ZZAP and PEG would be a big time saver! Thanks, Angela

Does the EGA product insert instruct you to run this control in parallel? It seems overkill as long as you have a single negative antigen typing result somewhere...and your post treatment DAT is negative

Congrats

Gulf Coast Bld Center in Houston, TX has a great SBB review. It's intensive and packed into a single weekend, but very affordable and definately prepares you for the exam. I applied for the SBB exam right away after leaving the review and passed no problem! It's worth the trip!

Thanks Hank...we are going to miss you when you you retire! What's the official date?

There's a great website that helps you calculate population genetics and navigate the hardy weinburg equation. I used it when i was preparing for my SBB. The address is http://nhscience.lonestar.edu/biol/hwe.html hope this helps, as I had several hardy weinburg questions on my exam in June!

I'm beginning my 14th year in the Immunohematology Reference Lab at the American Red Cross in little old Connecticut, and as stated earlier I just passed my SBB. Thanks for the warm welcomes

Thanks Malcolm. I utterly enjoy your insightful responses to many of the questions...

I also took the last chance review this past feb (2010) and passed on the first try as well in June. Congrats!

Some physicians still call them supercoombs or super DAT's when they call ( and occasionally polygreen), but we perform them at our reference lab.

Anti-f is usually made by people who are positive for C, E, c, and e (R1R2). The panel cells will be f negative if they're c or e negative, so this may be confusing. But if your patient is little c negative, then you are most probably dealing with anti-c.
