Antibodies of which system are instrumental in tissue transplant rejection? | HLA |
HLA antibodies can cause refractoriness in what type of transfusions? | Platelet |
A potentially fatal post transfusion reaction where patients develop acute noncariogenic pulmonary edema, caused by HLA antibodies in the donor plasma that react with and fix C3 to the patients granulocytes is knows as | TRALI - transfusion related acute lung injury |
