Picking Selected Panel Cells Conservatively

Choose cells that can help rule out more than one antibody at a time in order to help decrease supply usage and tech prep time.

Example: Ruling out C, Fy^b, and M if you have a suspected Jk^a

	c	C	Fy^a	Fy^b	Jk^a	Jk^b	M	N
Panel cell 9	0	+	0	+	0	+	+	0
Panel cell 10	0	+	+	+	0	+	0	+
Panel cell 11	+	+	0	+	0	+	+	0
Panel cell 12	+	+	+	+	0	+	+	0

Instead of running 3 separate cells to rule out the antibodies, you can choose one that is homozygous positive for M, C, Fy^b and negative for Jk^a. Panel cell 9 works in this case.

If the only antibody that is present is Jk^a, then your test results should be negative. If the results are positive then further rule outs will be needed to determine what is present.
