Once a CSA is detected, antigen-negative blood must be transfused for the rest of the patient’s life even if the screen becomes negative in the future. If antibody levels fall below the level of detection and antigen-positive blood is transfused, a delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction may...
Background The antiglobulin crossmatch (AHG XM) is mandatory in Germany and Austria for all patients scheduled for red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. We assessed how many biological relevant RBC alloantibodies are identified by the AHG XM in patients with negative antibody screen (ABS), ...
At your first prenatal visit, the doctor will do several blood tests such as your blood type, whether it's type O, A, B, or AB, and the Rh status, whether it's Rh-negative or Rh-positive.

Locating Antigen-Negative Blood Once a patient is actively immunized to anRBC antigenand produces a clinically significantalloantibody, the patient is considered immunized for life and must be transfused with antigen-negative RBCs, even if the antibody is no longer detectable. Patients with passively...
To the Editor.— During the last several months, much attention has been directed to the number of false-positive results of the test for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) antibody.1 Concern has focused primarily on use of this test to screen blood donors and the worry ...

BC: the blank control group, referring to no addition of PCSK9 and its inhibitor; NC: the negative control, referring to only addition of 0.1 μM PCSK9. “+” and “−” refers to the addition and absence of the reagents such as LDL-BODIPY, PCSK9 or its Abs in above LDL-uptake ...
Remarkable progress has been made in recent decades in engineering antibodies and other protein therapeutics, including enhancements to existing functions as well as the advent of novel molecules that confer biological activities previously unknown in na
