DAT ( Direct Antiglobulin Test ).
When AHG or Coombs serum is used to demonstrate that red cells are antibody coated in vivo, the procedure is termed:
1+ reaction has numerous small clumps and cloudy red supernatant
2+ has many medium-sized clumps and clear supernatant.
3+ has several large clumps and clear supernatant
4+ has one solid clump, no free cells, and clear supernatant
BB
Tube-based agglutination reactions in blood bank are graded from negative (0) to 4+. A reaction that has numerous small clumps in a cloudy, red background is:

If Kappa or Lambda is predominant and CD5 is co-expressed with CD19 (CD19/CD5 dual positive lymphocyte population), and CD23 is expressed, chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a probable diagnosis. CD19 is normally found on normal B cell populations and CD5 is normally found on mature T cell populations. However, CD5 is present on B cells in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Mantle Cell Lymphoma, both abnormal B cell malignant processes.
CD23 expression is not consistent with Mantel cells as shown on the decision tree on the right.
A monoclonal B-cell population (Kappa or Lambda predominant) with expression of CD19, CD20, CD23, and co-expression of CD5 is consistent with which of the following?
