You have determined antibody specificity based on ruling out using panel cells that did not react. Explain how you have ruled in suspected antibody(ies) in this case. Is there additional testing that needs to be done to reach a conclusion?

A type-A person demonstrates a 3+ reactivity with A1 cells (reverse grouping). The forward grouping with anti-A is 4+. Therefore, the possibility of a subgroup is excluded. B cells demonstrate a 4+ reaction. The antibody screen is weakly positive at 37°C, but shows no reactivity at the AHG phase. An antibody panel is performed and anti-M is identified. The patient phenotypes negative for M antigen. How is the ABO discrepancy resolved?
