Systematic review of rituximab for autoimmune diseases: a potential alternative to intravenous immune globulin.

abstract：:The authors describe a prototype elution method employing chloroquine, a quinoline derivative, to elute IgG antibodies from the platelet surface. This chloroquine elution technique is relatively easy to perform and is effective in the removal of alloantibodies from the platelet surface. Eluted alloantibody was immunol...

These findings are based on the IGHV gene analysis in anti-D-producing B cells from hyperimmunized donors, however, and therefore the restriction might be due to the hyperimmunization. In this study the IGHV...
