The customer observed a false reactive architect (b)(6) tp result and was inquiring if the assay has any cross reactivity with red cell antigens.The following data was provided for the patient in question: initial result = 1.71 s/co (reactive), mha tp = reactive, rpr = nonreactive.The patient is positive for the "c" antigen and recently delivered a baby.The newborn baby had a spinal tap procedure to retrieve cerebrospinal fluid for (b)(6) testing: architect (b)(6) = reactive, rpr = nonreactive, mha tp = nonreactive, vdrl = nonreactive.The spinal tap was performed due to the false reactive architect (b)(6) results on the mother's sample.
