The 81-year-old's plasma contains a potent antibody used to create a remarkable treatment known as Anti-D that protects unborn babies from the potentially deadly Rhesus D Haemolytic Disease (HDN)...When a pregnant woman with an Rh negative blood type is carrying a baby with Rh positive blood, her body registers the baby’s red blood cells as a foreign threat (an invading virus of bacteria) and produces antibodies to destroy the invader. The effects can be devastating. The disease causes multiple miscarriages, still births, and brain damage or fatal anaemia in newborns...“Every ampule of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” said Robyn Barlow the Rh program coordinator who recruited James, the program's first donor...The Blood service calculated Mr Harrison has helped prevent 2.4 million deaths...he has already surpassed the donor age limit and the Blood Service made decision to protect his health.
Australia’s Anti-D program is wholly dependent on just 160 donors, there is no synthetic version. These donors are incredibly rare, but with relatively little effort they save lives.
