    Abstract This review on COVID-19 immunotherapy enables a comparative analysis of the short-list of currently approved major vaccines. These include the Pfizer and Moderna first mRNA vaccines under FDA purview and the Oxford/AstraZeneca simian adenovirus-vectored vaccine (under UK-MHPRA guidance), all produced in record time, being safe and effective. The Pfizer and Moderna double dose vaccines have the clear edge in treatment efficacy, being in the 90% range compared to AstraZeneca in the average 70%. However, the AZ double dose vaccine has significant advantages with respect to lower cost and stability in storage. We enumerate several potential advances in the technology of the manufacturers: (1) combination vaccines such as testing AstraZeneca's product with a component of the Russian's Sputnik V to achieve durable immunity; (2) the potential for single dose vaccines coming on-line, and with Johnson & Johnson/Janssen; and (3) the need for refined thermotolerant formulations obviating the need for cold storage. As an adjunct to vaccinotherapy, affinity adsorption column technology is another facet recruited in the processing of corona convalescent plasma/cryosupernatant to concentrate neutralizing antibodies against the virus. Clinical trials, to date, of infected patients have been indeterminate as to whether plasmapheresis-based products are effective or not. This is due to the failure to standardize the composition of the plasma derived component, ambiguous clinical indications for use in human subjects, and inconsistent timing of administration in the course of the infection. Known T-cell lymphopenia, which is attendant to progressive viral infection and immune driven inflammation, may be a quantitative surrogate biological marker as to when to start treatment. This is not only for initiating plasmapheresis-based therapeutics but also the judicious selection of ancillary pharmaceuticals, ie. monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and anti-viral drugs.

    Abstract Polycythaemia vera is one of several classical myeloproliferative neoplasms that may occur in a juvenile onset or late-onset adult forms. It is linked to specific genetic mutations that cause a deleterious elevation in the patient's red cell mass. The discourse on genetics includes an exposé on the molecular biology of the disease and how a shared JAK2 V617F mutation can co-exist among three distinct neoplasms. Concepts of genetics and immunology help define the origin and behaviour of the disease: the tracking of allele burdens of mutations (genetic dosage), the timing or order of acquired mutations, the import of bystander mutations and the onco-inflammatory response; all theories are invoked to explain the progression of disease severity and potential transformational leukaemia. The World Health Organization's diagnostic criteria are accessed to focus on the subtleties of the Hb laboratories and sifting through the challenging listing of differential diagnoses that mimic PV, and our report includes an overview of manual and automated phlebotomy (erythrocytapheresis) procedures, enumerating their clinical indications, significance of temporary phlebotomy resistance and optimizing safety/ efficacy, quality and cost. Stratification of low and high-risk disease distinguishes when to commence chemo-cytoreductive therapy in the high-risk patient to prevent thrombotic complications. Drug resistance is circumvented by artfully switching drugs or using novel drug designs.

    Abstract This communication provides a compilation on aspects of COVID-19 infection control measures, describes the potential role of therapeutic plasma exchange to reduce fatality rates, addresses precautions concerning dexamethasone pharmacotherapy and updates the current status on the availability of vaccines. As part of passive immunotherapy, it focuses on various blood derivatives. These include coronavirus neutralising antibodies extracted from different sources to be administered as a pure hyper concentrate intramuscularly or for upgrading and standardising the specific potency of high affinity antibodies. These processes are intended to compose standardised pooled bioproducts of corona convalescent plasma/cryosupernatant that are pathogen inactivated for additional safety by well-established UV technologies. For the best practice of optimising plasma exchange, hyper concentrate NAb should be added to the cryosupernatant, which contains some of the active principles of corona convalescent plasma. The cryosupernatant apart from the high molecular weight viscous part of cold insoluble proteins that are removed, is equivalent to CCP, but makes it safer for general application. Such a bioproduct is often used routinely for substitution therapy of thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura. Alternative resources of large-scale specific coronavirus antibodies warrant further exploration such as cadaveric donations. The early uses of therapeutic plasma exchange and low molecular weight heparin, for any clinical trial in development is warranted, in order to interdict the intense inflammatory/kinin driven cascade. Because coronavirus positive patients are highly prone to thrombosis, thromboprophylaxis is necessary, even some time after recovery guided by the laboratory data.

    Abstract Elucidating the precise mechanisms of cumulative red cell damages during storage and the potential harmful consequences after transfusion are achievable by exacting laboratory science and well-defined clinical studies in progress. Accordingly, for larger magnitude blood transfusions (i.e. 8-12 U in 24 hours), the quality of the stored blood and its characterisation are of special academic and clinical importance. Our main objectives in this review are to illuminate facets of the red cell storage lesion for prolonged storage (0-42 days) by concentrating on various hallmarks of the disorder: 1) identifying and characterising serial markers of the progressive lesion with respect to red cell dysmorphology, deformability, haemolytic fragility and dysfunction both in storage and the microcirculation; and 2) relevant biochemical findings of redox status correlated to oxidative stress of erythrocyte proteins. This is accomplished in part by reliance on advanced metabolomic and proteomic technologies using various sophisticated tools such as high pressure liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry of proteins and small molecule metabolites. It is anticipated that these sophisticated methodologies and the experimental results therein shall lead to further advances in the quality improvement of red cell storage.

    Abstract The primary resuscitation of severely injured patients, acute haemorrhage and shock-trauma has been well reported in the literature. Resuscitation protocols include the use of diverse agents such as fresh whole blood [FWB], packed red blood cells [PRBCs], reconstituted blood products, fresh frozen plasma [FFP] and its derivative concentrates or recombinant products, volume expanders and tranexamic acid [TXA]. The reasonably prudent use of these agents and products is necessary to reverse risk factors of haemorrhagic shock such as haemodilution, hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy. Addressing the mechanisms of haemoregulation in the pathophysiology of DIC is important to optimise transfusion practice.

  9. Article: Pathogen inactivation of whole blood and red cell components: an overview of concept, design, developments, criteria of acceptability and storage lesion.

    Abstract: ... blood or red cell components, using the new generation of S-303 PIT and the prion removal filters ...

    Abstract Multilayer preventative strategies have been instituted to enhance transfusion safety for patients in need of critical blood components. Presently blood safety is at its highest levels, with the implementation of precautionary/preventative measures against vCJD, bacterial and viral contamination of the blood supply. The implementation of these strategies together with advances in automation and computerization led to significant improvements in standardisation for transfusion practices. These include validation, verification, adherence to GLP and GMP and other regulatory requirements. In most European countries, universal prestorage leukodepletion is routine practice. In France proactive pathogen inactivation treatments [PITs] have been implemented emphasizing patient safety. This at least conceptually reduces the risk of transfusing viable WBCs, emerging bacteria and viruses, all with potential transfusion complications. In the UK, prion removal filters for red cell products are used selectively for special groups of patients. Some research establishments are exploring the potential impact of pathogen inactivation of whole blood or red cell components, using the new generation of S-303 PIT and the prion removal filters in combination. It needs to be determined whether such a combined strategy, applied synergistically, enhances red cell transfusion safety without compromising the overall criteria of acceptability. It is necessary to critically examine the impact of a new generation of PIT technologies, which may exacerbate the red cell storage lesion and cause the development of undesirable antibodies in the recipient. The development of innovative laboratory tools is vital to study impacts of these measures on the quality of stored blood and their clinical outcome. The ultimate aim of red cell transfusion is to provide oxygen enriched red blood cells to the microcirculations and tissues. Definitive studies are needed to establish the potential unforeseen negative long term toxicity, overall efficacy/quality and the clinical outcome of treated stored blood.
