DiaClon ABO/RPh for Newborns DVI+ Ant-A, anti-B and ant-AB test sera are necessary to detect the presence or absence of A/B antigens on human red cels. Since A and B antigens are not fully DiaClon ABO/RN for developed a bith, weaker reactions may occur with red cells of newboms than Newborns DVI4 cf adults and subgroups often cannot be identified. ‘The serum of aduits contains antibodies dected against the A and B antigens absent from their own red calls. Both antioactes ‘appear after the 4 to 6 months of ie. As a result, reverse grouping is not usually undertaken an newbom blood samples. Confirmation of the newbom s blood groupis indicated when the A end B antigen © pression is uly developed 4 years The D antigen as wel as weak D is fully developed at birth. The determination of the RhD status of the newboms blood group is important f the mother is FD negative ‘Adiect antigibuln test DAT on newborn blood samples has become a standard procedure, since its of importance to know ifthe newborns red blood oals have been coated with maternal antibodies in-utero. (Current recommendations for PhD typing suggest het, for transfusion recipionts and antenatal pationts, anti-D reagents should ict detect the DVI phenotype. Individuals prossesing the DVI phenotype may produce an anti-D to the missing enitopes after immunisation by fetal or transfused RhD positive cells. To ensure that appropriate therapeutic measures are instigated, OVI Patients red cells shoud be assigned RhD negative status. Conversely, donor bloods should be tested with anti-D that does detect DVI and assigne RhD positive status, to avoid the unit being transfused to an RhD negative or partia-D patient.
