MLS ASCP Exam Questions and Answers 100% Correct c antigen is most common in blacks and whites; anti-c would be most common reactive - ANSWER Rh antibodies show enhanced reactivity with enzyme pretreated cells. The M and Fya antigens are cleaved from enzyme pretreated cells and therefore there would be no reaction between enzyme pretreated cells and serum containing anti-M or anti-Fya. The incidence of the c antigen is 80% in whites and 96% in blacks. The incidence of the E antigen is 29% in ...
