title: [Immunization with antigen D. Results obtained with 118 volunteers].
abstract: During the last four years, 118 blood donors have been immunized to obtain plasma with a high level anti-D in order to prepare anti-D immunoglobulins. The results of the immunizing schedule are very successful, as we have obtained anti-D of titer superior to 256 in 96,36% of the cases (Coombs technic). However, the development of unwanted antibodies outside the Rh system (anti-Jka: 6, anti-Fya: 5) has led us since November 1979 to use phenotyped blood without undesirable red blood cell antigens. No irregular antibody has developed since except for an anti-Yta. The anti-HLA have been observed with a frequency of 36%. The use of frozen/thawed and phenotyped blood without undesirable red blood cell antigens can allow to obtain a high level of anti-D without risk for the donors. Nevertheless, the exceptional immunization to a public antigen persists.
