AABB survey on directed blood donation practices
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

A global survey of blood transfusion practices for patients with sickle cell disease
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects over 7 million people globally, with blood transfusion remaining a cornerstone of management. However, contemporary transfusion practices across diverse settings remain poorly characterized. We evaluated global transfusion practices for patients with SCD to identify gaps and inform resource ...

Abstract Background Antibody identification testing is essential for preventing hemolytic transfusion reactions from unexpected red cell antibodies. Although automated interpretation is desirable to improve efficiency and consistency, conventional algorithmic approaches show limited accuracy, particularly in complex cases.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

The inhibitor kinetics type cannot be used by itself to determine auto‐ versus allo‐anti‐FVIII antibody type. To characterise inhibitor kinetics in inherited haemophilia A (HA) and acquired haemophilia A (AHA) patients in our centre, results show that inhibitors for both HA alloantibodies and AHA autoantibodies may exhibit either type I or type II ...

Biological studies of antibrain antibodies
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:

Nipocalimab Phase 3 Dose Selection for Severe Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn
Abstract Nipocalimab, a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker, is under evaluation for severe hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). In the Phase 2 UNITY trial, weekly intravenous antenatal treatment with nipocalimab at dose regimens of 30 and 45 mg/kg prevented fetal anemia requiring intrauterine transfusion (IUT) in 54% of high‐risk ...
