It will not be helpful to test the patient's serum with cells positive for known antibodies. Finding cells negative for known antibodies is a better approach. It is not necessare to test cells to reconfirm the previously identified antibody. If the patient's phenotype is known, a selected panel may also be selected to find additional antibodies.
