You just received the properly labeled blood bank specimen on patient Aran Stark. You decide to collect some background information about her known historical antibodies before beginning the work-up knowing that she has a history of anti-E, anti-K, anti-Jk^a, anti-Fy^a, anti-M and anti-Le^a. When you complete the work-up, you note that the anti-Jk^a antibody is no longer detectable. Can the patient receive red blood cells that contain the Jk^a antigen? Why or why not?
