E. Taaning et al., SEVERE HEMOLYSIS CAUSED BY GRAFT-DERIVED ANTI-B PRODUCTION AFTER LUNGTRANSPLANTATION, The Journal of heart and lung transplantation, 15(8), 1996, pp. 850-851
Anti-B antibody causing severe hemolytic anemia and renal failure was
found in the serum of a blood group B patient who had received a bilat
eral lung transplant from a blood group O donor. Although the donor or
igin of the antibody was not confirmed, it is likely that the anti-B a
ntibody was produced by donor passenger B lymphocytes.
