We aimed to investigate whether alloimmunization prevalence had changed as a result.Materials and methods: We calculated the prevalence (%) of patients with RBC alloantibodies among those who had antibody screening/identification done in Canterbury, NZ, during three periods: 2006-2010 (P1), 2012-2016 (P2) and 2018-2022 (P3).Results: During P1, P2 and P3, respectively, females and males numbered 58,817, 30,082; 48,775, 28,383 and 56,200, 31,443. Combining the periods, the overall alloantibody prevalence in females and males was 2.4 versus 0.9, p < 0.0001, and in those ≥60 and ≤40 years, it was 1.9 versus 1.5, p < 0.0001. Prevalence declined, especially after P2. Prevalence of the five most common alloantibodies during P1, P2 and P3, respectively, was as follows: anti-E, 0.39, 0.48, 0.37; anti-D, 0.38, 0.34, 0.27; anti-K, 0.34, 0.32, 0.22; anti-Fya, 0.18, 0.19, 0.14; anti-C, 0.17, 0.16, 0.12; all alloantibodies, 2.0, 2.1, 1.5. p-values by the chi-squared test comparing prevalence (P1 vs. P2, P1 vs. P3, P2 vs. P3, respectively) were anti-E, 0.005, 0.5, 0.0006; anti-D, 0.2, <0.0001, 0.001; anti-K, 0.5, <0.0001, 0.0001; anti-Fya, 0.6, 0.04, 0.01; anti-C, 0.6, 0.006, 0.03; all alloantibodies, 0.1, <0.0001, <0.0001.Conclusion: RBC alloantibody prevalence has declined. The chief reasons for this appear to be changes in transfusion management, NZ population mix and fertility. The decline is beneficial.","PeriodicalId":23631,"journal":{"name":"Vox Sanguinis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CD177 expression can vary from 0% to 100%, and to date, the molecular basis for altered or non-expressed genes has not been determined. Reliance on phenotyping and crossmatching to investigate these neutropenic clinical cases is inconvenient for patients and demands substantial resources within the laboratory. The purpose of this study was therefore to test a new molecular testing approach based on long-read nanopore sequencing.Materials and methods: DNA from 44 Danish blood donors with different levels of CD177 expression, 22 of whom were found to be CD177 null, was selected as test samples. All the DNA was sequenced for the first eight exons and the beginning of exon 9 of CD177.Results: All incidences of CD177 null cases could be associated with the known variant c.787A>T;p.K263X (rs20182172), and a correlation was observed between c.787A>T heterozygosity and a reduced expression of CD177, which is consistent with previously published findings. The c.1291G>A;p.G431R (rs78718189) variant was found to be linked to the atypical expression of CD177. The nanopore assay revealed a total of 14 variants in 7 exons in the 44 tested samples.Conclusion: On the basis of these observations, we conclude that long-read nanopore sequencing can be a reliable tool for the routine laboratory molecular testing of CD177.","PeriodicalId":23631,"journal":{"name":"Vox Sanguinis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low transplant cell dose in CB transplantation is one of several contributors to the slower engraftment. Processing delays could also be at play because CBU can be stored at room temperature (RT) for up to 48 h before cryopreservation. We hypothesized that prolonged storage at RT reduces the potency and engraftment activities of CBU due to the loss of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells.Materials and methods: CBU were split in half, with one half processed shortly after collection and the other half after 40 h of storage at RT. Viabilities and potencies were compared post thaw, and engraftment activity was tested in xenotransplants. Bioinformatic analysis was carried out to identify pathways modulated by prolonged storage at RT.Results: Prolonged storage at RT reduced the viability of CB cells and potency of grafts based on in vitro and in vivo assays. Transcriptomic analyses revealed that paracrine factors released in CBU induce several changes in gene expression programmes in CD34+ cells. These included the activation of the senescence gene CDKN1B and down-regulation of cell cycle and autophagy genes. Supplementation of CBU with trehalose prevented the loss in cell viability and potency. The latter was associated with the restoration of autophagy and suppression of the senescence gene CDKN1B.Conclusion: These results stress the importance of rapid processing of CBU and support further investigations on trehalose as a natural supplement to protect CBU' potency during storage.","PeriodicalId":23631,"journal":{"name":"Vox Sanguinis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marketing included website, social media and general advertising. Staff asked first-time donors if the criteria change had motivated their donation. Deferred and returning donor data were determined from our donor database.Results: In the 12 months post-implementation, 12.8% of first-time donors surveyed were newly eligible (n = 8667) and 7.8% of vCJD risk deferred donors returned (n = 5159). Eighty-five percent of deferrals occurred pre-2017; the return rate was 6.5% in this group. The highest return rate (24%) occurred in donors deferred after 2020.Conclusion: Removal of the vCJD deferrals had a major positive impact.

Serum ferritin is traditionally measured to assess iron status in donors. Reticulocyte haemoglobin (RET-He) has emerged as a rapid, convenient and cost-effective alternative. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of iron depletion among regular platelet apheresis donors and to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of RET-He compared to serum ferritin in diagnosing iron depletion.Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study involved 100 healthy, regular platelet apheresis donors aged 18-60 years who donated at least once a month. RET-He, serum ferritin and complete blood count results were analysed. The sensitivity and specificity of RET-He were calculated against serum ferritin.Results: Of the 100 donors, 13.00% (13 out of 100 donors) had serum ferritin levels <15 ng/mL, indicating iron depletion. RET-He showed a sensitivity of 76.92% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 46.19%-94.96%) and specificity of 44.83% (95% CI: 34.15%-55.87%) in detecting iron depletion. Significant differences in RET-He levels, donation frequency, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count and red cell distribution width were detected between the iron-depleted and non-iron-depleted groups (p = 0.045, 0.032, 0.053, 0.026, 0.069 and 0.027, respectively).Conclusion: Frequent platelet donations increase the risk of iron depletion; therefore, iron supplementation is recommended for regular donors. While RET-He testing is convenient, cost effective and fast, it cannot replace serum ferritin testing because of insufficient sensitivity and specificity.","PeriodicalId":23631,"journal":{"name":"Vox Sanguinis","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143701361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the 2225 articles screened by title, abstract and papers published after 2010, 37 were included in the final full-text screening. Article quality for inclusion was assessed on the basis of a predefined eligibility and inclusion checklist. We analysed all papers that reported barriers and facilitators to blood donation in Africa.Results: The review included 11 studies. The common facilitators for blood donation reported were altruism, the opportunity for disease testing, friendly recruitment strategies and future easy access to blood at hospitals when needed. We identified the following barriers: lack of knowledge, awareness of blood donation and place of donation, fear, ineffective incentives, bad service experiences and religious and cultural beliefs.Conclusion: Findings of this review can be used to propose better strategies for improving blood donation in SSA.
