Description
In resolving the cause of a positive red cell antibody screen, many tools are employed as part of the antibody identification process. Use of chemicals to denature or enhance the expression of selected red cell antigens can be one such tool. This presentation will cover not only the principle of chemical use in enhancing or denaturing red cell antigens, but will explore case studies where use of chemicals aided in successful identification of a red cell antibody.
- Describe the applications of using chemicals as part of the red cell antibody detection process.
- Describe the effect that chemicals such as proteolytic enzymes, DTT, ZZAP, chloroquine diphosphate, and AET have on certain blood group antigens.
- In a case study format, apply use of chemicals to interpret antibody identification testing.
