Immunoprophylactic anti-Rho(D) treatment after mismatched transfusions. 1979

J Ennker, and D H Maas, and J Schneider

80 cases of anti-Rho(D) treatment after mismatched transfusions are reviewed to compare the intramuscular (i.m.) and intravenous (i.v.) route of treatment. No severe reactions such as renal failure occurred with either method of anti-D treatment. If the Rh-immune globulin is injected i.m., 20 micrograms anti-D per ml red cells are used. For i.v. anti-D administration, 10-12 micrograms anti-D are suggested. The i.v. method of anti-D treatment is recommended for the future. Furthermore, a scheme of treatment for after mismatched transfusions is described.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D012203 Rh Isoimmunization The process by which fetal Rh+ erythrocytes enter the circulation of an Rh- mother, causing her to produce IMMUNOGLOBULIN G antibodies, which can cross the placenta and destroy the erythrocytes of Rh+ fetuses. Rh isoimmunization can also be caused by BLOOD TRANSFUSION with mismatched blood.
