Abstract

UV irradiation of donor rhesus-positive blood in apparatus, applied in Soviet hospitals for autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood produces a 2-fold increase of the blood capacity to bind antirhesus antibodies in blood or serum from sensibilized women. The above data can be used for increase in therapeutic effect of blood exchange transfusion in children with rhesus-conflict hemolytic disease.
