Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Medical Laboratory Science

Background:

  • Antibody identification often requires rare or uncommon red blood cell phenotypes.
  • Efficiently accessing these cell phenotypes is crucial for timely diagnostic resolution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a microcomputer database system for managing and retrieving red blood cell antigen phenotypes.
  • To expedite the process of identifying suitable cells for antibody testing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Lotus 123 software to create a microcomputer database for antigen phenotypes.
  • Implemented a customized screen input form to protect data integrity during entry.
  • Employed Allways software for generating formatted panel worksheets with laser printing capabilities.

Main Results:

  • The database allows searching for any combination of red cell phenotypes.
  • Selected cells are automatically extracted to a predesigned worksheet.
  • The system significantly reduces time spent searching records and minimizes manual data entry errors.

Conclusions:

  • The developed database system effectively streamlines the search for rare red blood cell phenotypes.
  • This application enhances efficiency and accuracy in antibody identification processes.
  • The system is also applicable for Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) panel testing.
