12、ood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “Its an amazing thing.

14、m, and theyre cutting him off now to protect his health. Harrisons retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia.
