BACKGROUNDHigh-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatments are implicated in hemolytic events in some patients receiving treatment. The passive transfer of IgG anti-A and anti-B agglutinin is thought to play a role in the development of these events. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of high-titer IgG anti-A and anti-B in plasma donors and investigate if there is any advantage of excluding these donors from the donor pool to limit anti-A and anti-B content in IVIG product. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSIgG anti-A and anti-B levels were assessed from group O donor plasma, manufacturing IgG plasma pools, and finished IVIG product (Gammagard Liquid). Antibody level in group O donors was also assessed by sex and age for their relative contribution of antibody to the plasma pool. RESULTSThe majority of group O donors (80%) had antibody titers of less than 1000. Of those with titers of at least 1000, theoretical estimates provide further evidence that the effects of high-titer donors are minimal. Antibody levels in plasma pools both during the manufacturing process and from the final IVIG product also support that anti-A and anti-B levels are low. In general, there were more females than males with higher antibody titer levels, with significantly more females than males with anti-A. CONCLUSIONExcluding donors with high anti-A and anti-B titers has minimal impact on the finished IVIG product titers due to ABO antibody neutralization and the dilution factor in the manufacturing pool.
