This statement is true. The **minor crossmatch** historically involved testing the **donor's serum (or plasma)** against the **recipient's red blood cells**. Its purpose was to detect potentially harmful antibodies in the donor's plasma that could react with and destroy the recipient's red cells. However, as previously noted, the minor crossmatch is **no longer routinely performed** in modern transfusion practice. This is because: 1) Donor plasma is screened for high-titer anti-A and anti-B. 2) The risk from other antibodies in the small plasma volume of packed red cells is low. 3) For plasma and platelet transfusions, ABO compatibility guidelines suffice. The **major crossmatch** (recipient serum vs. donor red cells) is the critical test.
