Clinical Significance of Anti-G Alloantibody and Serologic Interpretation Strategies for Patients with an Anti-C+D Pattern: First Report of Anti-G Alloantibody Identification in Korea

A Case Report of Blood Group Discrepancy because of Anti A1 with Clinical Significance and Anti C

Abstract Background and objectives: ABO phenotyping is one of the essential tests in Immunohematology. Incompatible blood group transfusion leads to acute hemolysis reactions and other serious complications. Anti A1 is a cold Antibody with no clinical significance, but if it is reacted at 37˚c can be clinically significant, which will be happened rarely. At the present, we report a Case with a...

Management of a pregnant woman with anti-holley alloantibody.

BACKGROUND Holley (Hy) is a high-incidence antigen of the Dombrock blood group system (ISBT 014), present in almost 100% of most populations and more than 99% of Blacks. Since anti-Hy is an extremely rare antibody, data on its clinical relevance and in particular on a possible hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) are scarce. CASE REPORT The pregnant patient underwent two autologo...

Anti-D in a D-positive patient: autoantibody or alloantibody?

Blood Transfus 2007; 5: 44 DOI 10.2450/2007.0008-07 © SIMTI Servizi Srl The D antigen of the Rh blood system is the most important red blood cell antigen determined by a protein, because D-negative individuals are easily anti-D immunised. Individuals, whose cells have a qualitative variation of the D antigen (partial D) lacking one or more components of the D antigen, are said to have a partial...

Anti-S Alloantibody Underlying Pan Agglutinating Autoantibody in a Patient of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Thrombocytopenia caused by passive transfusion of anti-glycoprotein Ia/IIa alloantibody (anti-HPA-5b).

We describe a patient who developed transient and moderately severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count nadir 35 x 10(9)/L) after the transfusion of plasma. Using the technique of direct radioimmunoprecipitation, we showed that during the thrombocytopenia episode, the patient's platelets had IgG specifically bound to the glycoprotein (GP) Ia/IIa complex. Indirect radioimmunoprecipitation using ser...
