چکیده
Anti-D immunoglobulin; BioVue column agglutination test; Quality control; Haemolytic disease; Anti-Rh(D) titration; Rh-factor Abstract The preparation anti-D immunoglobulin is an important therapy for both treatment and protection. Titer of anti-D immunoglobulin preparation is an important factor to determine the dose of treatment. Many methods are used to evaluate the titer of anti-D immunoglobulin preparation. One of the new methods developed recently is column agglutination test. To evaluate the BioVue column agglutination test, it was compared to conventional tube agglutination test using anti-D immunoglobulin preparations from three different producers, ten lots each. Results showed that the BioVue column agglutination test is comparable to conventional tube agglutination test but with much ease. In conclusion, the BioVue column agglutination test is accurate and easy to use in determination of anti-D titer for quality control purposes. a 2010 King Saud University. All rights reserved.

Optimization of Anti-Rh D Immunoglobulin Stability in the Lyophilization Processes
Objective Anti-Rh D IgG is used for the prevention of anti-D antibody production in Rh- individuals who have been exposed to Rh+ red blood cells. The stability of IgG preparations as a solution is low, with a shelf life of a year or more. Formulation of anti-Rh D IgG as a lyophilized preparation would decrease its degradation rate and increases its shelf life. The objective of this study was t...

RhD antigen is the most immunogenic and clinically significant antigen of red blood cells after ABO system. It has historically been associated with hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) which is now routinely prevented by the administration of polyclonal anti-D immunoglobulin. This management of HDN has proven to be one of the most successful cases of prophylactic treatment based on antibody ...

Dear Editor, Anti-H antibody is a type of anti-red blood cell (RBC) antibody that agglutinates with H antigen, which is universally present on human RBCs. The most widely known problem related to the anti-H antibody is the potentially lethal hemolytic transfusion reaction seen in individuals with the Bombay O blood type [1-3]. Other anti-H antibodies are mostly found in A1 or A1B blood type ind...
