3. Is there such a thing as an Anti-d antibody? Why or Why not? 4. What would cause an Rh-negative patient to have Anti-D in their serum? 5. What is the Du antigen? How is it detected? Does having it means that a person is borderline Rh negative /Rh positive? Is enhancement media needed to detect Du? 6.

If Anti-E gives a positive reaction, should Anti-e be tested?
