Recommendations regarding Practical DEL Typing Strategies for Serologically D-Negative Asian Donors

Conclusions: Two practical DEL typing strategies using RhCE phenotyping as an initial screening method were recommended for serologically D-negative Asian donors. Compared with DEL typing usingRHD genotyping, serological DEL typing using adsorption-elution test is predicted to increase the incidence of anti-D alloimmunization and decrease the D-negative donor pool without having any cost-competitiveness but can be used in laboratories where molecular methods are not applicable.Transfus Med Hemother
