The Curious Cases of Routine Warm Autoantibody Consults... Lessons Learned

Course overview

This presentation will explore the challenges of antibody identification in the reference laboratory through an overview of two real-world case studies. It will highlight how molecular and serologic testing methods are used to distinguish autoantibodies from alloantibodies, while also examining common pitfalls that can arise during routine antibody investigations and consultations. Through these cases, key lessons and best practices will be emphasized to support accurate and reliable antibody identification.
