Description
The humoral response to transfusion often leads to the alloimmunization of the recipient. In this session, antibody-mediated RBC hemolysis and clearance will be discussed. The speakers will review the role of T-regulatory cells in alloimmunization, discuss how the loss of antigen expression during immune-mediated RBC clearance limits the pathogenicity, outline the mechanisms of RBC destruction, and describe the pathological effects of hemolysis.
- Assess how antibody coated cells avoid antibody mediated RBC hemolysis and ex vivo sequestration.
- Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of RBC destruction in vivo and the downstream consequences of RBC clearance from the circulation.
- Discuss what events lead to alloimmunization, and learn how T regulatory cells participate in the humoral immune response.
