The adverse impact on liver transplantation of using positive cytotoxic crossmatch donors [PDF]
, 1992 Because of the liver graft's ability to resist cytotoxic antibody-mediated rejection, it has become dogma that the conventional transplant crossmatch used to avoid hyperacute rejection of other organs is irrelevant to the liver.

Type 1 Interferon Gene Signature Promotes RBC Alloimmunization in a Lupus Mouse Model
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion exposes recipients to hundreds of unmatched minor RBC antigens. This exposure can lead to production of alloantibodies that promote clinically significant hemolytic events.

Neonatal Alloimmune Neutropenia [PDF]
Transfusion Medicine and Hemotherapy, 2018 Neonatal alloimmune neutropenia (NAIN, NAIN or NIN) is a neutrophil blood group antagonism, analogous to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). A limited number of prospective screening studies showed that granulocyte-specific antibodies were detectable in 0.35-1.1% of random postnatal ...

The Association of CD81 Polymorphisms with Alloimmunization in Sickle Cell Disease
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013 The goal of the present work was to identify the candidate genetic markers predictive of alloimmunization in sickle cell disease (SCD). Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is indicated for acute treatment, prevention, and abrogation of some complications of

Reticulocytes in donor blood units enhance red blood cell alloimmunization
Haematologica, 2023 Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusions save lives, some patients develop clinically-significant alloantibodies against donor blood group antigens, which then have adverse effects in multiple clinical settings. Few effective measures exist to prevent

Delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction presenting as a painful crisis in a patient with sickle cell anemia [PDF]
, 1999 CONTEXT: Patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) are frequently transfused with red blood cells (RBC). Recently, we reported that the calculated risk of RBC alloimmunization per transfused unit in Brazilian patients with SCA is 1.15%.

Kell alloimmunization in pregnancy: Lessons to be learnt
Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2017 With the introduction of anti-D prophylaxis, the incidence of RhD alloimmunization in pregnancy has been significantly reduced. RhD remains the most common cause of hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn (HDFN).
