4
Polyspecific vs Monospecific Antisera
  • Polyspecific antisera:
  • Examples of Blood Bank antisera:
5
Anti-A & Anti-B
6
Antisera for ABO Forward Typing
7
Anti-A, B
8
ABO Antigens & Antibodies
9
Anti-D and Rh Control
10
Rh antisera
11
Rh Control
  • Type of control:
  • Required when anti-D antisera has macromolecules in a high-protein diluent to enhance agglutination.
12
Antiglobulin Reagents
  • Polyspecific Anti-human globulin (AHG)
13
Anti-Human Globulin (AHG)
14
Polyspecific AHG
  • What is in it:
  • Used when performing Direct Antiglobulin Testing (DAT) on adults.
15
Monospecific AHG
  • What is in it:
  • Used when positive Direct Antiglobulin Testing (DAT) on adults to identify antibody involved.
16
Check Cells

Antibody Screening Cells
22
Screening Cells
  • Either two or three vials containing red blood cells from group O donors.
23
Antibody Panel Cells
24
Panel Cells
  • What is in it:
  • Used when positive Antibody Screening Test (ASC) has been obtained and is used to identify antibody(ies) present.
25
 
26
Lectins
  • Extracts of seeds that act like antibodies and have specificities to certain red blood cell antigens and will cause them to agglutinate.
