Initial Observations of Antibody Panel
Look at the phase in which reactions are occurring. Reactions at immediate spin (IS) usually are not clinically significant. Reactions at AHG are clinically significant.
Look at the strengths of reactions. Varying strengths of reactions could indicate dosage. In the example below, the heterozygous (Jk
a
Jk
b
) cells react weaker with a 2+ reaction. The homozygous cells (Jk
b
Jk
b
) react stronger with a 3+ reaction.
Varying strengths may also mean more than one antibody is present.
