Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
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).

D‐Alloantibody Titration Assessment Study: In Search of a Common Antibody Titration Platform—A BEST Collaborative Study

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
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.

Demand for human leukocyte antigen or human platelet antigen‐selected platelets: An observational study at Canadian Blood Services

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
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.

Suppression of RBC alloimmunization and regulation of CD4+T cell dependence by C3 is not due to genetic confounders in mice

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
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.

Antenatal risk estimation for exchange transfusions in neonates with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in a changing treatment landscape: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Emergence of red blood cell alloantibodies and transfusion management in patients with warm autoantibodies at a tertiary care centre in British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
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 ...

Impact of Isovolemic Hemodilution‐Red Cell Exchange on Health‐Related Quality of Life in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: A Pilot Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Apheresis, Volume 41, Issue 1, February 2026.
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+ Red Blood Cells Mediate Increased Erythrophagocytosis and Reduce Monocyte Number in a Monocyte Suspension Assay

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2026.
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.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1966
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 ...
