Purpose
To ensure optimal survival of transfused red cells in recipients.
![Page 4: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Antibody screen
Principle: Antibody screen test is done using patient’s serum and antibody screen cells to try to detect unexpected antibodies that are capable of destroying transfused donor cells in vivo.
These antibodies are called “unexpected” because only 0.3 to 2 % of the general population have positive antibody screen.
![Page 6: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Unexpected antibodies are a result of red cell stimulation (transfusion, HDN)
Unexpected antibodies may be:Clinically significant (IgG)
Not clinically significant (IgM)
Clinically Significant antibodies defined as:
One that shortens the survival of transfused red cells
Cause Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)Hemolytic Transfusion reaction
![Page 7: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Key Concepts
In blood banking, we test “knowns” with “unknowns”
When detecting and/or identifying antibodies, we test patient serum (unknown) with reagent RBCs (known)
Known:Unknown:Reagent RBCs+patient serum
Reagent antisera+patient RBCs
![Page 8: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characteristics of screen cells
Group O cells (so that naturally occurring anti-A or anti-B will not interfere with detection of unexpected antibodies. )
Known antigenic content They should be positive for all common blood group
antigens They should come from donors who are
homozygous for genes that produce antigens showing dosage.
![Page 9: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There is no requirement that screening cells contain red cells with homozygous expression of antigens, however, the most workers prefer that such red cells are included in screening cells sets because many antibodies, especially JK and M antibodies, show dosage effect and give stronger reactions when tested against cells with homozygous expression of their corresponding antigen.
As a result of dosage, weakly reacting antibody may not be detected if serum samples are not tested against red cells with homozygous expression of the their corresponding antigen. (Rh, Duffy, Kidd).
![Page 10: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples
Fya Fyb
SCI + + 2+SCII 0 + 4+
Fya Fyb
SCI + 0 4+
SCII 0 + 0
If patient’s serum contains anti-Fya, there will be a
stronger reaction because SCI is
homozygous for the Duffy antigen
In this case, the person has anti-Fyb. The antibody
reacts weaker with SCI (heterozygous) and
stronger with SCII (homozygous)
![Page 11: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Detection of very low levels of antibody in a recipient’s serum is important because transfusion of antigen-positive red cells may result in a secondary immune response with rapid production of antibody
and subsequent destruction of transfused red blood cells.
The cells are selected so that the following antigens are present on at least one of the cell sample;
D, C, E, c, e, M N, S, s, P, Lea, Leb, K, k, Fya, Fyb, and Jkb.
Screening cells may also contain low incidence antigens like V, Cw, and Kpa
The presence of these antigens is not required for screening cells
![Page 12: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Screening cells come with a sheet of paper called an antigram.
Screening cells are an already prepared 2-5% RBC suspension
An antigram (2 or 3 cells) will list the antigens present in each vial A reaction to one or more cells indicates the presence of an unexpected antibody
![Page 14: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
It is important that the lot number on the screening cells matches the lot number printed-On the anti-gram
because antigen make up will vary with each lot.

Screening Cells:
The screening cells are available in three form1- A single vial of no more than two donors pooled together in
one vial.2- Two vials each with a different donor.3- 3 vials representing three different donors.
single-donor vials offer increased sensitivity
Two or three cells screening sets are required for detection of antibodies in pre-transfusion testing.

Auto-logous Control.
Autologous control is considered as part of the Ab screening, it can be performed in parallel with the Ab screen and involves testing the patient’s serum against the patient’s red blood cells.
A positive auto-logous control is an abnormal finding and usually means that patient has a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT).
![Page 21: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Remember Landsteiner’s Rule
Individuals DO NOT make allo-antibodies against antigens they
have
![Page 24: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Multiple antibodies
Multiple antibodies may be more of a challenge than a single antibody
Why?–Reaction strengths can vary
–Matching the pattern is difficult

Grading Reactions
![Page 28: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Grading Reactions.Aggregation or hemolysis of test red blood cells is the visible end point of an Ab-Ag interaction.
Test results should be read immediately after centrifugation as delays in reading may cause elution of antibody and false- negative test results
The first step in reading hem-agglutination reactions is inspection of the supernatant for signs of hemolysis (red or pink coloration).
![Page 29: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Red blood cells should be re-suspended by gentle shaking or tilting the tube until the cells no longer adhere to the sides. Agglutination is graded once the red blood cells are re-suspended.
Agglutination reactions are routinely graded as negative (no agglutination).
Weakly positive, and 1+ through 4+. The degree of the positive reaction generally indicates the amount of Ab present not its significance.
![Page 30: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interpretation
Agglutination or hemolysis at any stage of testing is a positive test result, indicating the need for antibody identification studies.
However, evaluation of the antibody screen and autologous control results can provide clues and give direction for the identification and resolution of the antibody or antibodies.
The investigator should consider the following questions: 1. In what phase(s) did the reaction(s) occur? 2. Is the autologous control negative or positive? 3. Did more than one screening cell sample react, and, if so, did
they react at the same strength and phase? 4. Is hemolysis or mixed-field agglutination present? 5. Are the cells truly agglutinated, or is rouleaux present?
![Page 31: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Interpretation
1. In what phase(s) did the reaction(s) occur?
Antibodies of the IgM class react best at low temperatures and are capable of causing agglutination of saline-suspended RBCs (immediate spin reading).
Antibodies of the IgG class react best at the AHG phase. Of the commonly encountered antibodies,
anti-N. anti-I, and anti-PI are frequently IgM, whereas those directed against Rh. Kell. Kidd, and Duffy
antigens are usually IgG. Lewis and M antibodies may be IgG, IgM, or a mixture of
both.
![Page 32: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Colder reacting antibodies are therefore considered insignificant and just cause interference when performing lab testingThe only important thing to remember concerning cold antibodies is that they may bind complement if a persons body temperature becomes low
Open-heart surgery Hypothermia If a lab uses an AC with the screen and it is
positive, they may run a DAT (patient cells + AHG) to detect in vivo coating
![Page 33: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Negative Coombs
![Page 35: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2. Is the autologous control negative or positive?
A positive antibody screen and a negative autologous control indicate that an alloantibody has been detected.
A positive autologous control may indicate the presence of autoantibodies or antibodies to medications.
If the patient has been recently transfused, the positive autologous control may be caused by alloanti body coating circulating donor RBCs.
Evaluation of samples with positive autologous control or DAT re sults is often complex and may require a lot of time and experience on the part of the investigator.
![Page 36: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3.Did more than one screening cell sample react, and, if so, did they react at the same strength and phase?
A single antibody specificity should be suspected when all cells react at the same phase and strength.
Multiple antibodies are most likely when cells react at different phases and strengths.
autoantibodies are suspected when the autologous control is positive.
![Page 37: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
4. Is hemolysis or mixed-field agglutination present?
Certain antibodies-such as anti-Lea, anti-Leb, anti P+P1+Pk, and anti-Vel-are known to cause in vitro hemolysis.
Mixed-field agglutination is associated with anti-Sda and Lutheran antibodies.
![Page 38: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
5. Are the cells truly agglutinated, or is rouleaux present?
Serum from patients with altered albumin-to-globulin ratios (e.g., patients with multiple myeloma) or who have received high-molecular-weight plasma expanders (e.g.. dextran) may cause nonspecific aggregation of RBCs, known as rouleaux.
Rouleaux is not a significant finding in antibody screening tests, but it is easily confused with antibody-mediated agglutination.
Knowledge of the following characteristics of rouleaux helps in differentiation between rouleaux and agglutination:
a. Cells have a "stacked coin" appearance when viewed microscopically.
b. Rouleaux is observed in all tests containing the patient's serum, including the autologous control and the reverse ABO typing.
![Page 39: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
c. Rouleaux does not interfere with the AHG phase of testing because the patient's serum is washed away prior to the addition of the AHG reagent.
d. Unlike agglutination, rouleaux is dispersed by the addition of 1 to 3 drops of saline to the test tube.
![Page 40: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Limitations of pretransfusion testing
Patient’s antibody is too week to be detected. Patient misidentification Hemolysis before entering the patient Non-hemolytic reactions Adverse reactions Transfusion Transmissible diseases cannot detect all such antibodiescannot detect all such antibodies.
![Page 41: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Limitations Antigens with frequencies of less than 10 percent
(e.g., Cw. Lu-, Kpa) are not usually represented on screening cells, and, as a result, their corresponding antibodies are not detected in routine screening tests.
![Page 42: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
antibody levels decrease over time when the individual is no longer exposed to the corresponding antigen.
If the level of an RBC antibody drops too low, results of antibody screening tests and crossmatches will appear negative and may lead to transfusion of donor units that carry the corresponding antigen.
Re exposure to the RBC antigen will elicit a secondary immune response, resulting in a dramatic increase in the antibody titer and possible immunologic destruction of the transfused RBCs.
this is called a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction (DHTR) because it occurs days or weeks after the transfusion.
![Page 43: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Patient History
GET THE HISTORY!!– Mixed red cell populations from a previous transfusion
can remain for up to 3 months– Patient may have come from another hospital– Some diseases are associated with antibodies– Some antibodies occur at a higher frequency in some
races– Get diagnosis, age, race, etc…
![Page 44: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Potentiators
Used in antibody detection and identification to enhance antigen-antibody reaction– Saline (may only enhance if incubated long time)– Low-ionic strength solution (LISS)…common– Bovine serum albumin (BSA)– Polyethylene glycol (PEG)– Proteolytic enzymes (can destroy some antigens)
![Page 45: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Potentiators
Albumin Serum/cell mixture should incubate at least 20 - 30 minutes; doesn’t enhance warm autoantibodies
LISS Incubation time of 10 minutes;lowers ionic strength allowing better reaction; sensitive and quick!
PEGPolyethylene
glycol
Enhances warm autoantibodies; does not react well with insignificant antibodies (IgM)
![Page 46: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Advantages
Screen cells can detect antibodies more effectively than can donor cells because they come from donors who are homozygous.
![Page 47: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Specimen requirements for Pretransfusion testing
Special Identification ProceduresIf the patient was transfused or pregnant in the
past three months, the blood specimen used for pretransfusion testing must be no older than 3 days.
![Page 48: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Selecting Blood for Transfusion
For a patient with clinically significant Antibodies (37oC and IAT)
Red cell should be tested and be negative for the appropriate antigen
Even if Ab. Is no longer detectable to prevent a secondary immune response
An antiglobulin cross-match is requiredThe absence of Ag should be confirmed with a potent
commercial antiseraFDA requires use of licensed (commercial) reagents
![Page 49: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Selecting Blood for Transfusion
When rare type is needed –High- Incidence
–Multiple antibodies frequency of random donors negative for each antigen should be used ,
–Example: serum contains anti-C, Fya and s among random donors
18%CNeg34%FyaNeg
45%SNeg

Selecting Blood for Transfusion
The Frequency of compatible units would be 0.18×0.34 ×0.45= 0.028If patient is group O then 45% of random donors are group O then 0.028 ×0.45=1.3% of random donors would be compatible with the patient serum.

Type and Screen
Once upon a time (in bloodland) all donors were crossmathed by IAT, even if the antibody screen was negative.
In addition, for many types of surgeries a high percentage of the donor blood that was crossmatched and held for patients was never used.
This is wasteful to both the time and money.
![Page 54: Pretransfusion testing final- ab screening - NAGLAA MAKRAM](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051709/587a2ed21a28abbd388b6bf1/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Advantages of Type and Screen
Better use of blood donor, as it is not tied up by being cross-matched and held
More efficient service of patients
