"In patients with autoantibodies requiring regular transfusion, close matching of transfused red cells with the patient's own phenotype, to manage risk of transfusion reactions, may be used as a basis by scientists and clinicians to assess, and potentially reduce, the required frequency of testing."

To ensure patient safety, there are some tests that should be ordered before a transfusion is initiated. If a patient is given a blood type that is not compatible, it could cause death. The interviewer wants to know that you understand the importance of these tests.
