Abstract

Approximately two-thirds of BG alloantibodies disappeared within 5 years of induction, a rate higher than previously reported in mixed-sex populations. Evanescence did not appear to be a random, first-order decay process, as evidenced by the lower evanescence rate of preexisting antibodies.
