| description | Antibody screening is used to demonstrate unexpected antibodies (other than ABO) and is performed on both donors and recipients to help ensure compatibility between recipient antibodies and donor red cells. Low ionic strength saline (LISS) is a blood banking potentiating agent that works by decreasing the repelling charges between red cells (zeta potential), thus packing the reds cells closer together for increased antibody bridging. This then decreases the incubation time for the sensitization phase in the antibody screening. A downside to using LISS is that it enhances the expression of cold antibodies and auto-antibodies that may not be significant. In addition, the ratio of serum to red cells must be adhered to strictly to maintain the ionic strength of the mixture. If ionic strength is too high, false negatives may occur, and if it is too low, false positives due to complement binding may occur. | |

| component | Blood group antibody | |
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Ser/Plas Ser = Serum Plas = Plasma | |
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | |
| method | Blood group antibody screen.LISS | |
