Specialty plasma programs

Have you had the three-shot series of Hepatitis B vaccine? This special program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated for Hepatitis B and have formed Hepatitis B antibodies. These antibodies are not naturally occurring. Successful donors have been immunized against Hepatitis B. We are looking for individuals with high Hepatitis B antibodies. The more recent your last Hepatitis B vaccination, the more likely it is that your antibodies are high.

Are you Rh Negative? This special program collects plasma from donors with the Rho D antibody and uses it to make anti-D immunoglobulin, an injection given to Rh negative mothers during pregnancy and immediately after labor and delivery to prevent thousands of infant deaths each year due to Rh incompatibility. We can do a simple blood test to see if your plasma contains this antibody. If you do, you can qualify for this program. 

Have you recently had a tetanus shot? This special program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated for tetanus and have formed tetanus antibodies. These antibodies are not naturally occurring. This special plasma is used to make tetanus immunoglobulin for use in the prevention and treatment of tetanus. This disease, also known as lockjaw, affects hundreds of individuals yearly. If you have received a tetanus vaccine recently or have not received a tetanus vaccine in 10 years, you are an excellent candidate for this program. 

This program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated for rabies. Donors in this program have plasma high in these antibodies, which can be used to produce lifesaving rabies immunoglobulin products. Rabies is a disease that affects the central nervous system and is transmitted by coming into contact with the saliva of an infected animal. Rabies can be contracted if you are bitten, scratched, or come into contact with infected saliva from a rabid animal.

Donors in this program have plasma high in these antibodies, which can be used to produce lifesaving RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)  immunoglobulin products. RSV is a disease that affects the lungs, primarily in the elderly and small children, and is transmitted through small respiratory droplets.

This program collects plasma from donors who have a blood type AB and sex at birth was male. This product is used as a cell culture medium for Immuno-Cell therapy cancer treatment such as those with Juvenile Leukemia.
