Alot of transfusions: Some persons develop antibidoies if they receive multiple transfusions. This is not unheard of in persons who get a transfusion every few months for medical reasons. It makes it a bit more difficult te find an adequate blood donor that's why they send the sample. Its okay they will find a donor the vat majority of the time
