Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Screening cells are used to detect the presence of red cell antibodies in a patient's serum or plasma. A group of reagent red blood cells that are known not to have certain antigens are incubated with the patient's serum or plasma. If antibodies are present in the serum or plasma, they will react with the corresponding antigens on the screening cells. The presence of a reaction indicates the need for further testing to identify the specific antibody present.
