The JAL antigen (RH48) is the result of a change in RHCE that encodes Arg114Trp.

21 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: The JAL antigen (Rh48) was discovered more than 30 years ago when it caused hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in an African American family. A decade later it was found to cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn in a ... Read more...


Positive direct and indirect antiglobulin tests associated with oxaliplatin can be due to drug antibody and/or drug-induced nonimmunologic protein adsorption.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Two patients were suspected of having immune hemolytic anemia (IHA) due to oxaliplatin. A related drug, cisplatin, is known to cause nonimmunologic protein adsorption (NIPA). Studies were performed to determine the presence of ... Read more...


Effect of neutralizing antibodies on biomarker responses to interferon beta: the INSIGHT study.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Interferon beta (IFNbeta) effectively reduces disease activity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) can diminish or abolish the clinical efficacy of IFNbeta therapies. Biomarkers of the IFNbeta ... Read more...
