A rare blood donor phenotype occurs less than1/1,000 in a certain population, including high-frequency-antigen-negative and multiple-common-antigen-negative blood groups. Since blood system and blood group distributed differently in different ethnic groups, rare blood type varies greatly by ethnic groups. We (Taiwan Blood Services Foundation) established a RBC reference database by means of irregular antibody identification, RBC phenotype program, specific RBC antigen add-on test, and antibody screening cell panel development. Until 2017, the database contained RBC phenotype of 681,278 blood donors between the age of 17 and 65. RBC reference database provides a quick searching of suitable antigen-negative blood unit or donor, inter-center blood unit transfer, emergent rare donor recruitment, and storage of glycerolfrozen RBCs. The main purpose is to fulfill the need of specific RBC antigen-negative blood units nationwide. In the near future, genotyping will be used widely for RBC antigens screening and become a commonscreening tool of rare blood donor; this technic is also a future plan of TBSF to collect rare blood donors.When we fail to find suitable antigen-negative rare blood units, International Rare Donor Panel (IRDP) provides another option for importing of this particular rare blood. |
