LEARNING OUTCOMES On completion of this exercise, the participant should be able to understand the difference between Fetal cell detection methods and quantitative methods. appreciate the clinical importance of Fetal cell detection and quantification. Introduction The D antigen is the most immunogenic of the blood group antigens. Exposure to as little as to mL of D-positive red blood cells (RBCs) in a D-negative individual can elicit an immune response. Despite the potent immunogenicity of the D antigen, without prophylaxis, only 16% of D-negative mothers with D-positive infants will develop anti-D.
EDUCATIONAL COMMENTARY – FETAL CELL DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION (cont.) When the result of the screening test is negative, 1 dose of RhIG is still given to the D-negative mother. When the screening test is positive, it is necessary to quantify the volume of fetal cells in maternal circulation and calculate an adequate dose of RhIG.
