THE BLOOD BANK FOR ANIMALS

Doctor Charles Richard DREW was the first person to develop a blood bank. His advice to stock the blood plasma revolutionized the medical profession.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Doctor DREW used his system first on the battlefield of Europe and Pacific during the second world war. He organized later the first project of world blodd bank - Sang pour la Grande Bretagne. He also established the blood bank of the american red cross, he was the first director.

The doctor DREW was born in july 3rd of 1904 in Washington, D.C. Star athlete, he obtains many hail returning victors and was midfield-back player and captained the football team of the University of Amherst composed solely of americans.

After to have received a degree in 1926, he teached biology and chemistry during two years and was director of athletics at the University of the Morgan State in Baltimore, in the Maryland.

In 1928 he registered to the University of Mc Gill, in Monreal, in Canada, where he studed medicine. There he saw a man saved by a blood transfusion, he remembered it, and gives him intereste for preserving blood plasma.

In 1933 the doctor DREW obtains his master degree in surgery and degrees of doctor of medicine in Mc Gill and was intern in the royal hospital of Victoria in Monreal.

It is the blood transfusion that allow to discover the differents systems of blodd group and it is still nowadays this blood transfusion and the organs transplant that are the mainspring of human research in this scope.

The practice of blood transfusion for breeding are limited, the study of their systems of blood group was different. Their interest lies in the detection of polymorphous alleles (It is said of a gene's forms, among two or several, occupying the same site on a chromosome particular) of a gene ("Segment of D.N.A. [deoxyribonucleic acide: nucleic acid main constituent of the chromosomes and material supply of the heredity] responsible for the synthetic of a protein or a fraction of protein, enzymic or not, and by the fact, of a inherited characteristic" Grand Usuel LAROUSSE french encyclopaedic dictionary p.205 vol.1) that allow to identify at best the individual.

The first work about blood group goes back at the beginning of the twentieth century around 1911, but it is especially from the forties that in several countries, the scientists take interest in blood group of breeds. Ferguson describes the first erythrocyties ("red blood cells" Grand Usuel LAROUSSE french encyclopaedic dictionary see HEMATIE p3583 vol.3)  antigens ("...So the antigenic property characterize most of the foreign substance to the organism, for example in the case of a blood transfusion between individuals of different blood group..." Grand Usuel LAROUSSE french encyclopaedic dictionary p.348 vol.1) in 1941, Stormont prepares, from 1951, the genetics basis of blood group of cattle breeds. The work about horses begin in 1950 at the Institut Pasteur. For ovine breeds, researchs are relatively older when for the goat, the rare work are made by, the INRA (The laboratory of blood group of Jouy-en-Josas is the lonely one authorized, in France, by the department of agriculture to control the filiation for four breeds (cattle, horse, ovine, goat) since more thant twenty years. To learn more see the french review : "Le Point Vétérinaire february 1994, vol 25, N°157.

Laboratory

In France there is a blood bank at the veterinary school of Lyon that you can discover on its internet site : Banque de sang Animal de Lyon.

The following informations come from this internet site :

"The blood group of the dog gather together 25 specificities divide up in 11 systems. The knowledge about the nature and the distribution of the groups are still very fragmentary.

Three groups present greatest importance from the clinical point of view, and practitioner must know, because they are generally involved in haemolytics reactions post-transfusionals. They are :

DEA1.1 (around 40% of the general population)

and DEA1.2 (around 15% of the general population), memeber of the system DEA1,

as well as the group DEA7, very variable, between 5% and 80% of the population according to the researchs.
 
 

In the french review "La Semaine Vétérinaire n°980 of june 17th of 2000 the article of Erika LOPEZ speaks of a blood bank for animals created in Spain "The bank may allow to the practitioner of a region to have blood or blood donor if it is necessary. In the other hand, at the level of a province, some veterinaries (practitioner, Faculties, etc.) may centralize the stocks and the requests to make the access to blood easier.

To make easier the practice of blood transfusion for pets "the veterinaries doctors" J. IGNACIO CRUZ and M. Jose MARTINEZ SAÑUDO, of department clinic of the veterinary Faculty of Sjaragosse in Spain take the initiative to create a blood bank for dogs and cats.

It is provided that the blood bank develop in two-stage :

To obtain the greatest number of potential blood donor possible... the selection take the age and the weight into consideration of the donor, but also his state of health in relation to main infectious and parasitics illnesses. These exams will be particularly interesting from the point of view epidemiological, for they will allow to know the present repercussion of the main affection in Spain.

Create a bank of doners healthy the blood group will be known, limiting the transfusional accident. The masters will promise to bring their dog or their cat in an emergency of blood corresponding to the group of their animal. In the other hand a certain quantity of blood units will be stocked to quickly reply in an emergency. The constitution of this stock will be made by periodic blood samplings, limited to two by year and by animal doner. For each sampling, a new control of state of health will be offer... Lastly the blood samplings will respect the standard instituted by the european Federation for the Study of sciences of animals of laboratory: they will not exceed 10% of the complete blood volume of the animal and the period between each one will be not inferior at four weeks...
