ABSTRACT
We report on two cases of anti-Jka, whose reactivity disappeared on an antibody identification test using enzyme-treated red cells. One of two patients was a 72-year-old female with cirrhosis of the liver and colon cancer, and the other was a 55-year-old female with known MDS and incomplete Behcet's disease. Results of an antibody identification test using a LISS/Coombs gel card (DiaMed AG) showed negative to one positive with red cells having the Jka antigen; however, all reactions using the enzyme-treated cells showed negative results, which was unexpected. The patients' RBC phenotype was Jk(a-b+). We obtained positive results in reactions of enzyme-treated Jka+ cells and EDTA using a patient's serum and proved that the cause of the negative reaction might be complement-related.
