A blood donor revealed no reaction in forward: Anti A= 0 Anti B=0, Anti AB=0 Anti D= 0 Control= 0 Reverse A cells= 4+ B cells= 0, O cells=0 (Room temperature and 4 C)

We performed adsorption elution by using plasma from Blood Group A donor. The elute produced 3+ reaction with B Cells and Control elute negative.

What to write donors blood group?

At first sight, as it were, it sounds like an (incredibly rare) case of Bel.

If the donor is Le(a-b+) (or Le(a-b-) and a Secretor) it might just be worthwhile seeing what he or she is secreting in his or her saliva. Bel's secrete H, but not B.

It might also be worthwhile having a sample looked at by someone like Prof. Martin Olsson in Lund, Sweden at a molecular level, in order to see if there are any nucleotide changes from either a normal O or a normal B.

Most Bel samples have a form of anti B in the serum.

Also chimerisme is an option, and maybe (but also very rare) is the option of Bombay-like due to a very weak H antigen, but than also you can see a (auto) anti H in the serum.

Obtain any clinical history of adenocarcinoma of pancreas, ovary, stomach, biliary (gall bladder, bile ducts, etc.). These tumors can produce large amounts of soluble A and B and can neutralize anti-A and anti-B reagents.

Thanks all, he is a healthy blood donor. No history of carcinoma

This would be an excellent specimen for molecular testing -- if you do send it for that, would you share the results of the findings?

Thanks

Acc0rding t0 the basic principle if the d0n0r is resp0nding t0 envir0mental antigen A and n0t t0 B it means that there is m0st pr0bably B antigen present 0n d0n0r red cells thats y the the immune system is n0t repnding t0 envir0mental B antigen,s0 it is m0st pr0b sub gr0up 0f B,just after Ads elu tech perf0rm secret0r studies f secret0r :cries:and als0 check the cells f0r H antigen t0 reach t0 the c0nclusi0n

It looks like Bel (Bel will not have anti-B in the reverse type), and Para-bombay type. To differ it just use anti-H , be cautious parallel with 2 tube B cells and 2 tube 0 cells.
