Published study from the US shows promising results on the use of Glycosorb® ABO to provide low-titer group O whole blood
The first pilot study on the use of Glycosorb® ABO for reducing anti-A/B antibody titers in blood group O whole blood has been published. The study was conducted at the University of Rochester, US. The use of Glycosorb® ABO effectively reduced the anti-A/B antibody titers to near zero without an increase in hemolysis. Glycosorb® ABO could be employed to provide low-titer group O whole blood reducing the need for type-specific blood which may expedite treatment and mitigate the risk of hemolysis from incompatible transfusion. Massive bleeding is one of the leading causes of death in
