ABO reactions are primarily due to IgM antibodies and usually occur at room temperature; Rh antibodies are IgG, and agglutination usually requires a 37°C incubation and enhancement media

Why is testing for Rh antigens and antibodies different from ABO testing? ABO reactions are primarily due to IgM antibodies and usually occur at room temperature; Rh antibodies are IgG, and agglutination usually requires a 37°C incubation and enhancement media ABO antigens are attached to receptors on the outside of the red cell and do not require any special enhancement for testing; Rh antigens are loosely attached to the red cell membrane and require enhancement for detection Both ABO and Rh antigens and antibodies have similar structures, but Rh antibodies are configured so that special techniques are needed to facilitate binding to Rh antigens There is no difference in ABO and Rh testing; both may be conducted at room temperature with no special enhancement needed for reaction

"cis" is when two genes are on the same chromosome; "trans" is when two genes are on different chromosomes

With regard to inheritance, the relationship of "cis" and "trans" is: "cis" is when the same allelic gene is present on both chromosomes in a pair; "trans" is when the different allelic genes are present on the two chromosomes in a pair "cis" is when the different allelic genes are present on the two chromosomes in a pair; "trans" is when the same allelic gene is present on both chromosomes in a pair "cis" is when two genes are on the same chromosome; "trans" is when two genes are on different chromosomes "cis" is when two genes are on different chromosomes; "trans" is when two genes are on the same chromosome

compatible at immediate spin.

Your blood bank mistakenly released a D-positive red blood cell unit that subsequently transfused to a patient who was typed as D-negative. The patient had no history of a previous transfusion or pregnancy. Antibody detection testing was negative in pretransfusion testing. The crossmatch in this case was: compatible at immediate spin. incompatible at immeditate spin only. not necessary to perform. incompatible at antihuman globulin only.
