Modeling alloantibody formation to high-incidence red blood cell antigens in immune responders using genotypic data.

Abstract excerpt

CONCLUSIONS: Alloimmunization to red blood cell antigens is unpredictable and poorly understood. Patients who are negative for high-incidence antigens (HIAs) are at risk for developing the corresponding antibodies. Molecular methods can easily predict the lack of an antigen and thus, the risk of an individual to become immunized. We examined the prevalence and risk factors for HIA alloimmunization in patients at...
