Review: comparing platelet compatibility to red cell compatibility protocols

Red cell immunology and compatibility testing

Introduction Immunohematology is the study of the immune response to blood cells. This chapter reviews the basic concepts of immunity as they apply to production of antibodies to red blood cells (RBCs), also called atypical alloantibodies. Antibodies to platelets and neutrophils, as well as autoantibodies and drug-induced antibodies, are discussed elsewhere. The relevance of immunohematology to...

Web Service Protocols: Compatibility and Adaptation

This paper discusses the notion of protocol compatibility between Web services, and reviews a number of techniques for detecting incompatibilities and for synthesizing adapters for otherwise incompatible services. The paper also reviews related notions such as realizability, substitutability and controllability.

Stimulus-Response Compatibility Is Information-Action Compatibility

In vivo red blood cell compatibility testing using indium-113m tropolone-labeled red blood cells.

In vivo radionuclide crossmatch is a method for identifying compatible blood for transfusion when allo- or autoantibodies preclude the use of conventional crossmatching techniques. A technique for labeling small volumes of donor red blood cells with [113mIn]tropolone is reported. The use of 113mIn minimizes the accumulation of background radioactivity and the radiation dose especially so when m...

5.2 Compatibility

27 In MultiContext systems, these compatibility relations are formalized as a special kind of inference rules, called bridge rules 11. The form of a bridge rule is the following: (12) where c i and c j are contexts and 1 ; : : :; n are formulae belonging to the language of c i and n+1 is a formula belonging to the language of c j. Semantically, the eeect of a rule like this is to put a constrai...
