Eight LAPS-II components were from females with three or more pregnancies and one was from a donor with two pregnancies. Three cases received index LAPS-II components, three received subsequently donated components, and three received previously donated components.
All cases except Case 8 required mechanical ventilation. In-hospital death occurred in Cases 1 and 5. Frothy endotracheal tube secretions were observed in Cases 3 and 6.
These two recipients were also part of the NHLBI SCCOR prospective TRALI study.
The HLA antibody screening assay was strongly positive for Class I antibody but the SAB assay failed to define a Class I specificity.
The multiple antibody specificities were B13, B15, B27, B41, B44, B45, B46, B40, B47, B49, B50, B53, Cw1, Cw3, Cw4, Cw14, Cw18, DR3, DR8, DR11, DR12, DR13, DR14, DQ6, DQ8, DQ9; this donor also had a nonspecific HNA antibody.
DR3 antibody crossreacts with DR13, DR52 (Case 5), and DR17 antigens (Case 7).
