Objective To compare the application effect between the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer and the method of traditional serological .Methods Using the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer and the method of traditional serological , respectively ,the samples of blood donors in Dongguan from October 1 ,2013 to April 30 ,2014 were performed irregular antibody screening .The positive samples of screening were identified by using antiglobulin method ,and the irregular antibodies of blood do‐nors were analyzed .Results There were 95 positive cases of irregular antibody by the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer , and the detection rate was 0 .208% .There were 16 positive cases of irregular antibody by the method of traditional serological ,the detection rate was 0 .035% ,and there was statistical significance in differences (P< 0 .05) .The positive coincidence rate of the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer was 56 .547% ,higher than the rate of the method of traditional serological which was 28 .571 % (P<0 .05) .The positive rate of irregular antibody was 2 .242% in RhD‐negative blood donors ,higher than the rate in RhD‐positive blood donors which was 0 .198% (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The positive rate of irregular antibody in blood donors i‐dentified by using the method of cassette automatic blood analyzer is higher than the rate identified by using the method of tradition‐al serological .The irregular antibody screening should be performed for RhD‐negative blood donors .The types of irregular antibody in blood donors are mainly the types of IgM which are no clinical significance .

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic mechanism underlying a case with para-Bombay phenotype. METHODS: The ABO and Lewis phenotype were identified with serological methods. The coding regions of exons 6 and 7 of the ABO and FUT1 genes were amplified with PCR and directly sequenced. Haploid sequence analysis was carried out on the variant sites of the FUT1 gene. RESULTS: Serological analysis confirmed that the proband has a rare para-Bombay phenotype. Direct sequencing revealed that he was a B.01/O.01.02 heterozygote for the ABO gene, and had heterozygous deletion for the 768 and 881-882 sites of the FUT1 gene. Further haploid analysis showed that the c.881_882delTT deletion has occurred in one haploid while c.768delC was present in the other haploid. The proband was therefore determined as a FUT1*01N.13/01N.20 heterozygote, which have resulted in frameshift in polypeptide chain p.Phe294Cysfs*40 and p.Val257Phefs*23, respectively. CONCLUSION A rare bi-allelic heterozygous deletion of para-Bombay phenotype has been identified in a blood donor. The c.881_882delTT and c.768delC deletions may decrease the activity of α-1,2-fucosyltransferase.
