The process of identifying alloantibodies and finding compatible blood products is time consuming. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. If an alloantibody is detected, then RBC units may be crossmatched randomly, assuming that the alloantibody is against a "low incidence" antigen which most units will lack. These antibodies are called human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies. The thawed units are washed of the glycerol, and by doing so are also depleted of plasma and leukocytes. Alloantibody production in a female can result in hemolytic disease of the newborn. In the 1950’s Brittingham found that the transfusion of whole blood into patients with leukoagglutinins could cause febrile reactions. Please log in.
BACKGROUND: HLA antibodies may be directed against HLA antigens on RBCs, but these antibodies are generally not considered to be clinically significant in transfusion practice.A case of a multiparous woman who had hemolytic transfusion reactions due to HLA‐related Bg antibodies is reported. Kopko PM and coworkers identified the presence of only HLA class II antibodies in the donor which correlated to HLA typing of … View the article PDF and any associated supplements and figures for a period of 48 hours.
It is caused most often when donor plasma contains HLA or leukocyte (usually granulocyte) specific antibodies. These immunological reactions are mediated by HLA antibodies present in the recipient reacting with HLA anti-gens in the transfused products, e.g. As a result of these features, HLA antigens and antibodies are responsible for some of the serious clinical complications of blood transfusion, and have an important influence on the outcome of solid organ and haemopoietic stem cell transplantation. Unlimited viewing of the article PDF and any associated supplements and figures. 1 Both HLA and neutrophil-specific antibodies cause these reactions.
Working off-campus? Recipient leukocytes may be 'primed' by underlying illness to become more adherent to pulmonary alveolar epithelium.
If an antibody is produced, future transfusions can be delayed because extended donor blood typing will be required to identify compatible units. The HLA specificities reported were anti-A2, anti- Such reactions may occur in up to 1 in 200 transfusions of RBCs and 1 in 30 transfusions of platelets. CASE REPORT: A 37‐year‐old woman was admitted with anemia.
The patient was later successfully transfused with one RBC unit from an HLA‐compatible donor. It is caused most often when donor plasma contains HLA or leukocyte (usually granulocyte) specific antibodies. GVHD is a situation where transfused lymphocytes engraft and multiply in immunocompromised patients (e.g., bone marrow transplant patients). The main function of the HLA molecules is to present antigenic peptides to the immune system and in this way regulate the induction of immune responses. The use of RhoGAM and greatly reduced the incidence of Rh anti-D erythroblastosis fetalis, and so other blood group antigens, such as Kell, may be implicated. Prior exposure to non-self HLA antigens (from WBC contamination of red cell products) can result in antibodies that will render future platelet transfusions useless. TRALI most often occurs with administration of blood products with plasma, such as FFP. Leukopenia may transiently occur.

Two group O, D+ RBC units were transfused.
For platelets, HLA (MHC) typing may be necessary to identify compatible donors with the same HLA type. If testing shows you have HLA antibodies, you may only be able to donate whole blood and red blood cells. Circulatory overload can occur with administration of blood or any intravenous fluid, particularly in patients with diminished cardiac function. Ten days later she returned with hemolysis and anemia. RBC transfusions can expose the patient to RBC antigens not recognized as self. These complications are primarily the result of antibody and antigen triggering an acute immunological reaction, which in some cases can be fatal e.g.
Hemolytic reactions occur when the recipient's serum contains antibodies directed against the corresponding antigen found on donor red blood cells. No unexpected RBC antibodies were identified.
If an alloantibody is directed at a "high incidence" antigen, then there will be few, if any, units available that match. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, originally discovered as the result of a transfusion reaction, is now known to play a crucial role in many areas of clinical medicine. Introduction of the donor antibodies into the recipient causes granulocyte enzymes to be released, increasing capillary permeability and resulting in sudden respiratory distress from pulmonary edema, typically within 6 hours of tranfusion. It is likely that the mechanism responsible for this restriction is the preferential presentation of antigen-derived peptides to T cells.
