Once a CSA is detected, antigen-negative blood must be transfused for the rest of the patient’s life even if the screen becomes negative in the future. If antibody levels fall below the level of detection and antigen-positive blood is transfused, a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction may...
1 Concern has focused primarily on use of this test to screen blood donors and the worry that a large number of healthy donors would be falsely branded as HTLV-III viral carriers.2 While this is an important and valid concern, some of this worry has already been dispelled.1 What remains ...
The routine maternal antibody screen was negative, but anti-Sc2 was detected during work-up for a low-frequency red cell antigen, and the father's red cells typed as Sc:1,2. Conclusion:Anti-Sc2 can cause clinically significant hemolytic disease of the newborn. Although the antibody is ...
Locating Antigen-Negative Blood Once a patient is actively immunized to anRBC antigenand produces a clinically significantalloantibody, the patient is considered immunized for life and must be transfused with antigen-negative RBCs, even if the antibody is no longer detectable. Patients with passively...

It is often used as a diagnostic test to determine exposure to a particular infectious agent, such as the AIDS virus, by identifying antibodies present in a blood sample. [e(nzyme)-l(inked) i(mmunoad)s(orbent) a(ssay).] American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth ...
In their first therapeutic application, serology tests are being used to screen donor blood for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. Plasma containing the antibodies from recovered patients is then transfused to gravely ill patients in an experimental treatment known as convalescent plasma. Early results from ...
