Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies
Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Abstract Background Alloimmunization against D‐antigen can cause severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN). Traditionally, anti‐D‐titers are measured using a saline indirect antiglobulin test (tube testing). Anti‐D‐titers ≥8 during pregnancy trigger an escalation in maternal care. Tube testing is labor‐intensive and known for imprecision.

Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a clinically important condition. The Human Leukocyte Antigen and Human Platelet Antigen (HLA/HPA) Platelet Program at Canadian Blood Services (CBS) provides platelet products to support such patients.

Abstract Background Activation of complement protein C3 generally enhances antibody responses and C3‐null mice have decreased antibody‐based immunity. Mener et al. have reported a paradoxical suppressor function for C3 in alloimmunization to transfused RBCs as alloantibodies are increased in C3‐null mice.

Abstract Background Neonates with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) may require exchange transfusions (ET) for severe hyperbilirubinemia. We evaluated if ET in neonates with HDFN was associated with the maximum maternal titer and antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and we determined the change in the number of hospitals ...

Cost‐effectiveness of a hypothetical assay to evaluate stored blood quality prior to transfusion
Abstract Background and Objectives Unsuccessful red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, necessitating unscheduled repeat transfusion, is common and costly. Several technologies have been developed to assess stored blood quality, but the potential cost‐effectiveness of pretransfusion testing versus no testing to prevent unscheduled re‐transfusion is unknown ...

Abstract Background and Objectives The presence of warm autoantibodies (WAAs) complicates pre‐transfusion and compatibility testing. Despite attempts to provide antigen‐matched red blood cells (RBCs), the risk of alloimmunization remains. Rates of alloimmunization and indications for transfusion were reviewed to streamline testing and RBC provision ...

ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) negatively affects health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Isovolemic hemodilution (IHD) red‐cell exchange (RCE) is being increasingly used to treat SCD‐related complications, but its impact on HRQoL has not been characterized.

CD71+ RBCs promote erythrophagocytosis in a dose‐dependent manner and induce loss of monocytes. ROS scavenger‐treated CD71+ RBCs rescue the impact of CD71+ RBCs on phagocytosis and monocyte reduction. ABSTRACT Adverse reactions from donor‐recipient sex‐mismatched transfusions have been reported in the field of transfusion medicine.

Cytotoxic Isoantibodies and Immunologic Enhancement in Mice.
Summary1. Cytotoxic isoantibodies and hemagglutinins are stimulated in response to H-2 isoantigenic differences between graft and host in mice. 2. This study offers data correlating cytotoxic isoantibody and immunological enhancement. 3. The mechanism of immunological enhancement has been shown to be associated with peripheral as well as central ...
