DIFFERENT LEVELS OF COMPATIBILITY TESTING

Landsteiner is noted for hisdevelopment in 1902 of themodern system of classification of bloodgroups from hisidentification of thepresence of agglutinins inthe blood

ABO typing has two stages: one direct red blood cells -RBCs-typing using commercial antisera (anti-A, anti-B) and oneindirect typing utilizing plasma/serum and known - A and B -RBCs suspensions.
1. Direct ABO blood typing (or front grouping)
This test detects the presence of A and B antigens on RBCssurface by means of agglutination utilizing commercialantisera. It is a basic and simple test, it can be performed onfew drops of venous or capillary blood (i.e. obtained byfinger pricks) .
The RBCs are then examined for clumping (gross observation,gel suspension)

False positives Are rarely seen and they are essentially caused by the plasma
proteins when whole blood is used as specimen.These plasma-related agglutinations may be false or they may
be real agglutinations caused by auto-antibodies. These
apparently positive results turn generally negative whensaline-suspended RBCs are tested instead of whole blood.
Remember that auto-antibodies usually cause agglutination of all tested blood drops so beware of AB positive results ! Inthese cases the reverse typing will help to clarify the
situation .

False negative
In theory it is possible if antisera are no longer working. Soantisera should be checked regularly with RBCs samples of known A and B type.
If reagents are working properly the only false negatives maybe due to the presence of very rare group A or B variants.
These may be also suspected because of discrepanciesbetween the direct typing and the reverse or indirect serum grouping.

The H antigen is an essential precursor to the ABO blood group antigens
The H locus is located on chromosome 19. It contains 3 exons that span more than 5 kb of genomic DNA, and it encodes a fucosyltransferase that produces the H antigen on RBCs.

This H substance is present in all RBCs, except those of hh (i.e.,Bombay blood group) and also produce antibody to both Aand B antigens, and are therefore compatible only with otherhh donors.
So, in the Bombay blood in serum or in reverse grouping thereis anti-A, anti-B, and anti-H.

9/34
Reverse serum groupingThis test is used to confirm and must not substitute the front
grouping that remains the pillar of ABO typing.Reverse grouping helps to identify the rare cases of false
negative and false positive results.
The test puts in evidence the presence of naturally occurring Anti-A and Anti-B that are present after 6 months of life inall subjects that lack the reciprocal A/B antigen.
In order to perform the reverse test we need a saline 3-5%suspension of fresh RBCs of group A, B and O. The O type
RBCs suspension represents a negative control.Technique: 1) Mix 2 drops of serum or plasma under
investigation with one drop of each 3-5% RBCs suspension(group A, B and O); and 2) read for agglutination

How do we know whether or not the host (or
recipient) has antibodies to minor bloodgroup antigens?
Add commercial RBCs with known importantminor antigens on their surface to host (orrecipient) plasma and centrifuge. Thenincubate at body temperature for 15-30
minutesThen add antiglobulin
Ex. of minor blood group [MNSs, Duffy (Fy) and Lewis (Le)].

Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother'sblood type is Rh negative and her fetus' bloodtype is Rh positive (inherited the Rh-positiveantigen from the father)
If some of the fetus' blood passes into themother's blood stream, her body will produceantibodies in response
These antibodies could passback through the placenta andharm the fetus' red blood cells,causing mild to serious anemiain the fetus

How to treat the HDN Before birth, options for treatment include intrauterine
transfusion or early induction of labor when pulmonary
maturity has been attained, fetal distress is present, or 35 to 37weeks of gestation have passed. The mother may also undergo
plasma exchange to reduce the circulating levels of antibody by
as much as 75%.
After birth, treatment depends on the severity of the condition,
but could include temperature stabilization and monitoring, phototherapy, transfusion with compatible packed red blood,
exchange transfusion with a blood type compatible with both
the infant and the mother, sodium bicarbonate for correction of
acidosis and/or assisted ventilation.
Rhesus-negative mothers who have had a pregnancy with/are pregnant with a rhesus-positive infant are given Rh immune
globulin (RhIG) at 28 weeks during pregnancy and within 72
hours after delivery to prevent sensitization to the D antigen. It
works by binding any fetal red cells with the D antigen before
the mother is able to produce an immune response and form
anti-D IgG.
