The effect of naturally occurring Rh antibodies on the survival of serologically incompatible red cells. 1987

M Contreras, and M de Silva, and P Teesdale, and P L Mollison

Investigations on six males with naturally occurring Rh antibodies are described. In two subjects in whom the antibody (one anti-E and one anti-D) could be detected only by a two-stage papain technique, the survival of incompatible red cells was normal. In the remaining four subjects, the antibodies (two anti-E and two anti-D) could be detected by the indirect antiglobulin test and, in these, incompatible red cells were destroyed at an accelerated rate; in two of the subjects, 75-99% of the cells were cleared within 24 h; in the other two, 50% of the cells were cleared within 24 h and the remaining cells were cleared far more slowly. All six antibodies were mainly or wholly IgG; a clear-cut immune response was observed in only one case.

D007518 Isoantibodies Antibodies from an individual that react with ISOANTIGENS of another individual of the same species. Alloantibodies
D008297 Male Males
D003298 Coombs Test A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.

D004905 Erythrocyte Aging The senescence of RED BLOOD CELLS. Lacking the organelles that make protein synthesis possible, the mature erythrocyte is incapable of self-repair, reproduction, and carrying out certain functions performed by other cells. This limits the average life span of an erythrocyte to 120 days. Erythrocyte Survival,Aging, Erythrocyte,Survival, Erythrocyte

D012204 Rh-Hr Blood-Group System Erythrocyte isoantigens of the Rh (Rhesus) blood group system, the most complex of all human blood groups.
