Cells O Antibody Screening Cells: A novel Approach to Antibody Screening
Authors
Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives: Blood transfusion may induce some adverse effects on receivers. Some methods such as antibody screening and cross matching have been suggested to reduce the risk of transfusion complications. However, these methods require commercial antibody screening kits that may also need special equipment. The aim of this study was to introduce a new method for antibody screening that does not require a commercial kit, and could be used in any transfusion laboratory. Methods: We examined 350 samples that contained alloantibody and 350 control samples without the antibody. A solution containing two O+ and one O- samples were used instead of screening cells. Results: Sensitivity and specificity of the method were 73.32% and 45.15%, respectively. Positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 58.33% and 63.88%, respectively. Conclusion: Our new method can be used in basic hematology laboratories with some modifications. Keywords: Antibodies, Antigens, Coombs test.

The American College of Rheumatology position statement on ANA testing stipulates the use of IIF as the gold standard method for ANA screening(1). Although IIF is an excellent screening test in expert hands, the technical difficulties of processing and reading IIF slides--such as the labor intensive slide processing, manual reading, the need for experienced, trained technologists and the use of...
full textScreening for antibodies against intact cancer cells with a naïve large phage antibody library.
Large phage antibody libraries are expected to be an efficient technology for obtaining humanized anti-tumor antibodies. However, few reports have been concerned about the selection strategies for intact cancer cells as targets. In this study, a 2x1011 large naïve scFv library from blood B lymphocytes of normal adult donors and neonatal cord blood was constructed using the LoxP-cre system. Thre...
full textPhenotypic screening: the future of antibody discovery.
Most antibody therapeutics have been isolated from high throughput target-based screening. However, as the number of validated targets diminishes and the target space becomes increasingly competitive, alternative strategies, such as phenotypic screening, are gaining momentum. Here, we review successful phenotypic screens, including those used to isolate antibodies against cancer and infectious ...

The purpose of pretransfusion compatibility testing is to prevent immune mediated hemolytic transfusion reactions. Our study aimed to evaluate the gel test for detection of clinically significant antibodies in repeatedly transfused patients. We investigated 200 thalassemic patients in whom, blood group, Rh-D, Rh phenotype determination, antibody screening and identification were done using an I...

AND PRINCIPLES Autoimmune disorders can be Non-organ Specific, Tissue or Organ Specific or Overlapping assiciated with both organ specific and non organ specific antibodies. The five most common autoimmune antibodies include: 1. Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) 2. Antimitochondrial antibody (MA) 3. Antismooth muscle antibodies (SMA) 4. Antiparietal cell antibodies (PCA) 5. Antireticulin antibody (RA)
