Look, #6 is weaker and #7 stronger and #8 only showed up at 37C
before discussing it, look at the select cells
![Page 2: Look, #6 is weaker and #7 stronger and #8 only showed up ... · before discussing it, look at the select cells . From the mark outs (see first panel), the tech developed a select](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050205/5f588a1107951e41df314dbc/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
From the mark outs (see first panel), the tech developed a select cell panel. With it she eliminated K, Fya, S, N and Lua
for the C, tech went back to ficin panel now she is down to E,Jka
Now, put the entire picture together. This select panel is all negative for D

Back to the tube panel. Verify the Ags left over. (D,E,Jka) #6 appears to be anti-Jka reacting weaker with the heterozygous cell
#7 appears to be anti-Jka reacting stronger with homozygous cell #8 reacted as expected at AHG phase. I have no idea why it came up at 37.
#9 Totally illogical (this cell didn’t read the text book)

We determined Anti-D, anti-Jka and could not rule out E
The lady was transfused A neg, E,Jka negative units
and went home happy
• Thank ya dearie

All of our units are tested on site for ABO,Rh, TP, Aby, HTLV, HBc, HBsAg,
HCV, HCV NAT, HIV, HIVNAT, HBVNAT, West Nile CMV for babies, Chagas for first time donors

All of our RCs are leukoreduced on site

All of our bloodbanking is done on site (unless DNA phenotype is needed)

65y, Female, type O Neg, current diagnosis reads: “AnemiA?” History: 1. First work-up March 2010 with anti-Fya.
2. After a couple of surgeries, Fya diminished and anti-K developed. 3. Eventually, we added anti-S to her list
finally we tested her full phenotype. (duh…) Her last 3 transfusions have been phenotypically similar: C,E,K,Jka,Fya,S negative

FACTS: 1. She is good at developing antibodies. (has anti-K,Fya & S)
2. She has been receiving phenotypically similar units we step into this expecting to see no new problems.

So much for no new problems!
• Her Act was micro +
• Her DAT was POS
• Poly =1+, IgG =1+, C’= 0
• Her cells were EGA treated to remove bound
substance.
• Her EGA treated cells were tested against eluate

Why EGA treated Auto Ct?
• EGA strips the bound IgG from the RC this allows
testing the cell for phenotype or other serological tests. It is acid
based so it does not denature like enzyme(Ficin) but it does inactivate K
• EGA treatment verified by negative DAT
• EGA treated cells + Eluate (EGA treated Auto Ct)
remember; the EGA treated cells are free of bound IgG and the Eluate contains the immunoglobulin that was stripped from the patient cells. So put the “naked”EGA cells with the Eluate. If it is an auto antibody, the Eluate will bind back to the EGA cells. “re-clothing” the cells.

Another way to say…
• Warm auto.
• Patient’s cells are wrapped like a present. • (some presents are better than others)
• EGA exposes the present. We look at the present. We play with the present.
• Elution removes the wrapping. We look at the wrapping, we play
with the wrapping
• The present and the wrapping uniquely go together
• So if they go back together… warm auto

Ta-Da! Her Eluate screen shows pan-agglutination and the EGA Auto control was Positive
Warm Auto Antibody.
The patient was cautiously transfused with phenotypically similar units and is still around to try to develop another antibody!
(PS. Transfused red cells typically have survival similar to patient’s own cells)
