Blood donors infected with the hepatitis B virus but persistently lacking antibodies to the hepatitis B core antigen.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Refractoriness to platelet transfusion because of HLA antibodies can jeopardize the outcome of patients who require platelet support during surgery. As routine screening for HLA antibodies would pose a huge burden on presurgical work-ups, a stratification of patients according to the risk of having HLA antib...
