  • The discovery of the role of anti-GBM antibodies by Lerner et al in 1967 helped provide both a better understanding of the pathogenesis for this specific form of pulmonary renal syndrome and a more rational approach to treatment. (medscape.com)
  • Third wash: Wash the cells with GVB-EDTA ( G9660 ) by suspending them (to original 56 mL volume) and centrifuge as above. (sigmaaldrich.com)
  • The two partners in August started testing the antibody on early-stage COVID-19 patients, hoping to keep symptoms from progressing. (gabio.org)
  • We conclude that the measurement of anti-ribosomal P antibodies by western blotting is helpful in the diagnosis of cerebral lupus in selected patients. (hkmj.org)
  • The development of anti-RBC antibodies (alloantibodies and/or autoantibodies) can significantly complicate transfusion therapy, particularly in patients needed repeated transfusion. (banglajol.info)
  • Total 370 patients who had received at least five units of transfusions were enrolled in this study but known patients of auto immune haemolytic anaemia, patients in whom antibody was previously detected and pregnant women were excluded from the study. (banglajol.info)
  • Antibody was detected in only 17(4.59 %) patients. (banglajol.info)
  • Prevalence of anti-RBC antibodies was not so uncommon in multiple transfused patients. (banglajol.info)
  • Furthermore, the antibody acquisition rate is reported to decrease to 20-50% when rituximab is used, based on the results of 569 patients immunized with a recombinant zoster vaccine ( 4 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
