Linear regression predictions of RBC elimination following transfusion of biotinylated allogenic RBC. Predictions were made for horses that were blood type and cross‐match compatible (CM 0), incompatible to any degree (CM > 0), or incompatible with cross‐match major agglutination reaction >1+ (CM > 1). The last group is shown to eliminate the effect of a single horse with cross‐match = 1+ that showed RBC elimination similar to the control horses. Data expressed as the proportion of baseline biotinylated RBC remaining. Time 0 was the completion of the infusion. The line was forced through y = 1, x = 0. The intersection of each curve with the 0.5 line represents the half‐life and the x‐intercept represents the survival time. The elimination rates were significantly different between the compatible and the cross‐match >1+ groups (P = .029).
