Modeling alloantibody formation to highincidence red blood cell antigens in immune responders using genotypic data

Frequency of red blood cell alloantibody in Kuwaiti population.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the alloimmunization against red blood cells (RBC) among Kuwaiti population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of RBC alloimmunization among 179,045 Kuwaiti patients, pregnant women, and allogeneic blood donors was conducted for the period of 1992-2001. The frequency of 24 alloantibody specificities from 1,278 alloimmunized Kuwaitis wa...

measuring viscoelastic properties of Red Blood Cell using optical tweezers

Efforts have been made to study the behavior of complex materials in micrometer dimensions with various techniques. One of these methods is the use of optical tweezers for biophysical applications. Red blood cells, as the most abundant blood-forming cells, play an important role in the life of living organisms, and their unique mechanical properties are important. In this report, the study of s...
