In the first issue 2016 of Transfusion Medicine And Hemotherapy the transfusion support for ABO-incompatible stem cell transplantation is reviewed [1,2]. The authors focus on reduction of recipient isoagglutinins by plasmapheresis and red blood cell (RBC) depletion of the graft to avoid immune-hematologic consequences of ABO-incompatible stem cell transplantation. The old, nearly forgotten method of in vivo adsorption of recipient isoagglutinins was cited but not extensively mentioned although it is a simple, low-cost technique to circumvent immediate and delayed hemolysis after ABO-incompatible stem cell transplantation [3,4,5].
