Southern Blood Services Inc

In Nashville, Southern Blood Services is a specialty plasma donation center that collects plasma from people with specific antibodies. The center focuses on antibodies developed through pregnancy, blood transfusions, or certain vaccines. Donated plasma is processed into plasma-based therapies, including medicines used to address Rh incompatibility and exposure to rabies or hepatitis B. Red cell antibodies are also used to manufacture antisera for determining blood types and supporting compatibility checks before transfusions. The Nashville facility is one of three collection centers operated by the company, alongside locations in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. Participants in its donor program are located throughout the United States. Its programs include Rh incompatibility, hepatitis B antibodies, and red cell antibodies.
