Simple image analysis for reliability control of column agglutination test in pretransfusion testing

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives A novel meniscus‐based analysis provides a rapid method to identify analytical errors related to unrecognised pipetting errors. Background The indirect antihuman globulin test (IAT) is part of pretransfusion testing, enabling detection of erythrocyte alloantibodies.

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies

Transfusion, 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).

AABB survey on directed blood donation practices

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Standardized guidance regarding the processes for collecting directed blood donations (DBD) is lacking, leading to variable practices. This study assessed laboratory, clinical, and charging practices for DBD collection in the United States and Canada. Study Design and Methods An electronic survey was distributed to United States and

Breakthrough Hemolysis in Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: Mechanistic Insights and Management Strategies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder caused by somatic mutations in the PIGA gene, resulting in loss of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchored proteins, including the complement regulatory proteins, CD55 and CD59.

Pretransfusion testing interference profile of IMC‐002: A novel anti‐CD47 monoclonal antibody engineered for minimized red cell binding

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background CD47‐targeted agents can interfere with pretransfusion testing due to CD47 expression on red blood cells (RBCs). IMC‐002 is a novel anti‐CD47 human IgG4 monoclonal antibody engineered to minimize RBC binding; however, its interference profile during pretransfusion testing remains poorly characterized.

Mapping obstetric biobanks: A scoping review highlighting gaps in the study of alloimmunized pregnancies

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maternal red cell alloimmunization can cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), yet prediction of disease severity remains limited. Biobanks that link pregnancy biospecimens with clinical and laboratory data could accelerate translational research; however, the landscape of relevant obstetric biobanks has not been ...

Molecular characterization of CD36 deficiency in blood donors of Middle Eastern and African origin reveals transcript‐level defects beyond genomic variants

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The increasing diversity of blood donor populations has created new challenges for transfusion services worldwide. The identification of donors lacking relevant high‐prevalence antigens is becoming increasingly important to ensure compatible blood products for alloimmunized patients and to support the development of rare donor ...

Implementation of soluble CD38 in blood crossmatching for patients on anti‐CD38 therapy: A single‐center experience

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human monoclonal (MoAb) anti‐CD38 antibodies, such as daratumumab, are used to treat diseases such as multiple myeloma. Because red blood cells (RBCs) express CD38, these MoAbs interfere with antibody screening and crossmatching in blood banks.

Biological studies of antibrain antibodies

, 1970
Immunization of rats with rat brain Fraction III microsomes (RBM) elicited isoantibodies that were detectable by complement fixation and passive haemagglutination and cross-reacted with rat liver microsomes (RLM). The maximum antibody titer of 1:160 to 1:
