12 April 2023 (Wednesday) - Anti-Lu(a) (?)

 

On Sunday I got the thumbs-down on a BTLP-TACT exercise. I asked for clarification… I got a reply which really didn’t clarify anything. The antigenicity of the screen with regard to Lu(a) isn’t given as this “is not required per the BSH guidelines for compatibility testing”.
I specifically asked “does a negative enzyme panel rules out anti-Lu(a)?” This question wasn’t answered. But bearing in mind in the exercise I felt anti-Lu(a) couldn’t be excluded, and I got it wrong for saying “Additional antibodies noted which were not present”, so I shall assume that in the simulator anti Lu(a) works by enzyme.
As opposed to reality… Mind you the anti-M in the last exercise could have been a lot closer to the real world…
 
In the past I’ve described the BTLP-TACT simulator as a work in progress. Sadly it doesn’t seem to be progressing very much.
It could have been such a boon.
