All D+ samples were detected by all monoclonal antibodies (mabs) without any problem. Very few of the 3,000 D- samples showed a +/- to ++ reaction with some of the IgG type mabs using the Coombs technique. It is still open whether these are specific reactions with weakly positive samples, which were negative with polyclonal sera. IgM type mabs detected up to 100% of the Du samples dependent on the Rh phenotype and the technique used (CCDuee > CcDuee > ccDuEe). Most of the CCDuee samples reacted very strongly and should no longer be regarded as Du.

Within a working group of the German transfusion society, a workshop was conducted to evaluate the reactivity of monoclonal anti-D supernatants. During this evaluation 10,000 samples were tested, including 325 Du-samples, with 3-5 IgM type antibodies and 3-4 IgG type antibodies, which were selected to also find 'D-variants'. In general, the reactivity with D+ red blood cells was good, and specific in respect to D negative samples.
