Use of antibody screening cells to detect antibodies vs. cross-match
• The screen cells will test for most clinically significant antigens • The cross-matched unit of blood will possess some of the antigens • The screen cells will have cells with homozygous expression of• The screen cells will have cells with homozygous expression of
many antigens, more reliable in the detection of weakly reacting antibodies
• Donor units may or may not have homozygous antigen expressions • The RBCs age and antigen expressions begins to weaken, prepared
screen cell sets are diluted in a preservative to maintain antigenscreen cell sets are diluted in a preservative to maintain antigen integrity
• Expiration date on donor unit may extend up to 42 days unites used for cross-match some near expression date, may miss antibody due to weaken antigen expression

Enhancement Reagentsto increase the sensitivity of the test system
ll f h t d i b ti timay allow for a shortened incubation time
Various enhancement reagents may be added to the cell/plasma mixture before 37ºC incubation
22% AlbuminAlbumin works by reducing the zeta potential, dispersing the charges, thus allowing the RBCs to approach each other
Low Ionic Strength Solution (LISS)Contains glycine in an albumin solution. In addition to lowering the zeta potential, LISS increases the uptake of antibody on the RBC during sensitization phase
Polyethylene Glycol (PeG)PeG in a LISS solution removes water from the test system, concentrating any antibodies present This increases the degree of RBC sensitizationany antibodies present. This increases the degree of RBC sensitization. Generally, PeG test system, are more sensitive than LISS, albumin, or saline system.

AHG Reagents It is required that the reagent contain anti-IgG when used for
antibody detection and pre-transfusion compatibilityl ifi b d bPolyspecific AHG reagent or broad spectrum coombs’ serum contains antibodies to both IgG and complement components either C3 and C4 or C3b and C3dcomponents, either C3 and C4 or C3b and C3d.
Antibodies for C3d is more desirable in the reagent, since there are more on the RBC surface during complement activation
The presence of complement in the AHG may lead to the detection of clinically insignificant antibodies, to avoid, you can choose to use monospecific AHG regent containing anti IgG onlycontaining anti IgG only
