Simultaneous Use of Two Recombinant Blood Group Antigens for Identification of Rare Complex Antibody Mixtures

Conclusions: The presented technique is an excellent supporting aid in antibody identification used with conventional column agglutination techniques. Antibody inhibition using mixed rBGAs allows reference and routine laboratories to identify rare antibody mixtures in a fast and efficient manner. Routine laboratories may be able to conduct difficult antibody identifications independently without referring these samples to a reference laboratory, resulting in faster identification results and elimination of delay in patient care. Simultaneous rBGA inhibition is an off-label technique not instructed in the user manual of rBGA and should be used with caution.Transfus Med Hemother
