The impact of blood storage on red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization remains controversial, with some studies suggesting enhancement of RBC‐induced alloantibody production and others failing to observe any impact of storage on alloantibody formation. Since evaluation of storage on RBC alloimmunization in patients has examined antibody formation against a broad range of alloantigens, it remains possible that different clinical outcomes reflect a variable impact of storage on alloimmunization to specific antigens.
