Crossmatch

crossmatch

Serologic crossmatch Transfusion medicine An agglutination test that determines donor-recipient blood compatibility. See Electronic crossmatch, Immediate spin crossmatch, Major crossmatch, Minor crossmatch.
Crossmatch
Major crossmatch Patient serum–which may contain antibodies is cross-reacted against the donor's red cells and
Minor crossmatch Patient RBCs are incubated with donor serum, this is of less clinical significance; it reveals donor antibodies against uncommon antigens–eg Cw, -Wra, -Lia 

Crossmatch

A laboratory test done to confirm that blood from a donor and blood from the recipient are compatible.

In this study, we (1) determined the cutoff values of DSA strength as predictors of XM results from proficiency test samples, and (2) validated those cutoff values in a pool of candidates for renal transplant who were crossmatched with potential, living donors.
Antihuman leukocyte antigen-specific antibody strength determined by complement-dependent or solid-phase assays can predict positive donor-specific crossmatches
Thus, the advantage of this policy for us is that identification remains the same during the period of hospitalization, and previously crossmatched units within 72-hour periods are not required to be re-crossmatched with the new sample unless an unexpected red-cell antibody is detected.
