Attention has been shown to modulate the visual evoked potential (VEP) recorded to reversing achromatic patterns. However, the chromatic onset VEP appears to be robust to attentional shifts. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) responses to both chromatic and achromatic reversing patterns are also affected by attention.

Passively administered antibodies can be used to prevent alloimmunization, where steric hindrance of allogeneic epitopes has been postulated as one mechanism whereby antibody engagement may prevent RBC alloimmunization. However, the dynamics of antibody engagement on the RBC surface has remained difficult to study.

- * Anti-ABO antibodies naturally develop early in life, unlike other red blood cell antibodies, and are a major barrier to successful transfusions and transplants, with incomplete understanding of their formation.
- * Some research suggests that microbes with similar structures to ABO antigens might influence the creation of anti-ABO antibodies; however, their exact role and how the body defends against this mimicry via galectins need further exploration.
