ALBAclone® Advanced PartialRhD Typing Kit

The antibodies incorporated into

this kit have undergone extensive

evaluation at international

workshops and by experts

throughout Europe and the

US. The kit allows improved

identification of partial RhD types,

including DOL, DCS, DMH, DHK/DAU-4, and now weak D

types 1 and 2 as well as DMHi.

n 12 antibodies with matched reaction profiles

n One simple method of testing (IAGT)

n Quick and easy to perform

n Differentiates important partial RhD types

n Quick, cost-effective alternative to DNA genotyping

IdentifiesWeak D Types

1 & 2 andDMHi

Supplementary Information

Weak D Types 1 and 2As shown on the Instructions for Use, Weak D of types 1 or 2 may be positive with all anti-D in the kit or show weakened / negative reactions with anti-Ds ‘C’ and ‘I’. Of the remaining antibodies, anti-Ds ‘H’ and ‘L’ are more likely than the others to show weakness with weak D types 1 and 2. Weak D type 2 with suppression of D due to Cde in trans is markedly different; this type may be weak or negative with most anti-D in the kit. Anti-D ‘D’ and ‘K’ are most likely to be positive, but still weaker than normal RhD positive cells.

Note: most other weak D types will give weak reaction with all anti-D inthe kit (weaker than a normal RhD positive cell).

DHMi Recent tests have shown that DHMi samples will react with all kit components.
