Case Study 2: Phenotypically Similar Cells

Noticing the panreactive but variable reactivity, the reference laboratory decided to perform a full serological phenotype on the patient and run several phenotypically similar cells to determine if the reactivity was caused by a combination of common red cell antibodies, or by an antibody to a high-prevalence antigen.
Patient's ABO/Rh and serological phenotype: O-; C- E- c+ e+; K- k+; Fy(a-b+); (Jka+b+); M+ N+; S- s+
