Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Work-up of individuals having febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reactions
Detection of individuals with autoimmune neutropenia
This test is not useful for the diagnosis of neutropenia caused by marrow suppression by drugs or tumors.
Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Granulocyte antibodies are induced by pregnancy or prior transfusion and are associated with febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reactions. Patients who have been immunized by previous transfusions, pregnancies, or allografts frequently experience febrile, nonhemolytic transfusion reactions that must be distinguished from hemolysis before further transfusions can be safely administered. Granulocyte antibodies may also be present in autoimmune neutropenia.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Not applicable
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result in an individual being worked up for a febrile transfusion reaction indicates the need for leukocyte-poor
This test cannot distinguish between allo- and autoantibodies
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Purified granulocyte preparations from normal donors are incubated with patient's test serum and then with fluorescein-tagged antihuman globulin reagent. Sera containing the antibodies deposit immunoglobulin on the target cell membrane, which is detected by the second stage antibody and visualized by fluorescence microscopy.(Verheugt FW, von dem Borne AE, Decary F, Engelfreit CP. The detection of granulocyte alloantibodies with an indirect immunofluorescence test. Br J Haematol. 1997;36(4):533-534)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday
Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.
Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
