This study investigated the use of formaldehyde-fixed rabbit red cells and rabbit red cell stroma for the adsorption of cold autoagglutinins. Both methods were equally effective and removed all antibody activity at room temperature in 92 percent of the samples. However, some alloantibodies such as anti-D, -E, and -Leb were also reduced in titer or completely absorbed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
