Use of rabbit red cells for adsorption of cold autoagglutinins.
This study investigated the use of formaldehyde-fixed rabbit red cells and rabbit red cell stroma for the adsorption of cold autoagglutinins. Both methods were equally effective and removed all antibody activity at room temperature in 92 percent of the samples. However, some alloantibodies such as anti-D, -E, and -Leb were also reduced in titer or completely absorbed.
