Reduction of anti-A and anti-B isoagglutinin titers of group O whole blood units employing an ABO antibody immune adsorption column.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science 2023 March 6
BACKGROUND: Massive hemorrhage is a leading cause of death from trauma. There is growing interest in group O whole blood transfusions to mitigate coagulopathy and hemorrhagic shock. Insufficient availability of low-titer group O whole blood is a barrier to routine use. We tested the efficacy of the Glycosorb® ABO immunoadsorption column to reduce anti-A/B titers in group O whole blood.
METHODS: Six group O whole blood units were collected from healthy volunteers, and centrifuged to separate platelet poor plasma. Platelet-poor plasma was filtered through a Glycosorb® ABO antibody immunoabsorption column, then reconstituted to prepare post-filtration whole blood. Anti-A/B titers, CBC, free hemoglobin, and thromboelastography (TEG) assays were performed on pre-and post-filtration whole blood.
RESULTS: Mean( ± SEM) anti-A (224 ± 65 pre vs 13 ± 4 post) and anti-B (138 ± 38 pre vs 11 ± 4 post) titers were significantly reduced (p = 0.004) in post-filtration whole blood. No significant changes were detected in CBC, free hemoglobin, and TEG parameters on day 0. Free hemoglobin increased throughout storage (48 mg/dl ± 24 Day 0 vs 73 ± 35 Day 7 vs 96 ± 44 Day 14; p = 0.14).
CONCLUSIONS: The Glycosorb® ABO column can significantly reduce anti-A/B isoagglutinin titers of group O whole blood units. Glycosorb® ABO could be employed to provide whole blood with lower risk of hemolysis and other consequences of infusing ABO incompatible plasma. Preparation of group O whole blood with substantially reduced anti-A/B would also increase the supply of low-titer group O whole blood for transfusion.
