Objective: To investigate the role of multiple serological methods in the identification of complex antibodies.
Methods: The blood group antigens were detected by saline and microcolumn agglutination methods. The saline method was used to screen and identify IgM-type antibodies in the patient's serum, while the polybrene, anti-globulin, microcolumn agglutination, enzymic and absorption-elution methods were used to screen and identify IgG-type antibodies.
Results: The patient was B/CCDee/Jk(a-b+)/Fy(a-b+) blood type. The serum reacted with panel cells, and the reaction presented anti-E pattern in the saline medium. It was fully positive in the microcolumn agglutination card, except 2 negative ones after using papain to treat the panel cells. Referring to the pattern table, it was concluded that there existed anti-c, anti-E, and anti-Jk antibodies, and one antibody corresponding to an antigen that was easily destroyed by papain. The red blood cells with specific phenotype were selected for absorption-elution to identify IgG-type anti-c, anti-E, anti-Jk and anti-Fy antibodies.
Conclusion: It is confirmed that IgM-type anti-E, and IgG-type anti-c, anti-E, anti-Jk and anti-Fy antibodies exist in the patient's serum by multiple serological methods.

Background: Pregnancy causes immunisation when the fetal red cells, possessing a paternal antigen foreign to the mother, enter the maternal circulation, resulting in the production of alloantibodies. Maternal allo-immunisation, also known as iso-immunization, occurs when a woman's immune system is sensitised to foreign erythrocyte surface antigens, stimulating the production of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. This study was carried out to determine the frequency of maternal Red blood cell alloantibodies in Gwarimpa General Hospital, FCT, Abuja, and to evaluate the clinical utility of antibody screening.

We aimed to emphasize the importance of prenatal blood antibody screening and popularize antenatal care knowledge by sharing a case of hydrops fetalis caused by anti-E and anti-c alloimmunization antibodies.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of a pregnant woman with repeated fetal edema caused by anti-E and anti-c irregular antibodies.

Fetal hydrops can stem from immune or nonimmune causes. Immune causes often involve red cell alloimmunization, whereas nonimmune causes encompass structural malformations, aneuploidy, infections, lymphatic system disorders, genetic syndromes, and more. In a rare and complex case, we encountered a fetal hydrops presentation characterized by blended phenotypes, indicating both a genetic and an underlying immune etiology.

Introduction: Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a serious complication in pregnancy and still remains a cause of perinatal mortality, in developing countries. Antibodies to other red blood cell antigens, leading to hemolysis, are being recognized. The aim of the study is to report the outcomes in women undergoing intrauterine transfusions (IUT) for fetal anemia due to rhesus alloimmunization over the last two decades, over 3 time periods from 2002 to 2021 and to report the prevalence of minor antibodies at our center and their effect on perinatal and neonatal outcomes.

Background: Red cell antibodies of a certain specificity are produced following the immunization of a corresponding antigen-negative individual through pregnancy or transfusion, such as RhCcEe allogeneic infusion. The transfusion incompatibility of RhC/c and RhE/e can be estimated based on the proportion of the RhCcEe phenotype. DEL has been positively correlated with RhC and RhE phenotypes.
