2S [LEC]: Other Blood Groups Flashcards
Blood groups most significant in transfusion practice
ABO, Rh
One or more antigens produced by alleles at a single gene locus or at loci so closely linked that crossing over does not occur or is very rare
Blood group system
This type of RBCs can be very helpful when evaluating antibodies to unknown high-prevalence antigens
Null phenotype RBCs
A description of which antigens are present on an individual’s RBCs and simply indicates the results of serologic tests on those RBCs
Phenotype
Composed of the actual genes that an individual has inherited and can be determined only by family or DNA studies
Genotype
According to ISBT, this is defined as “consisting of one or more antigens controlled at a single gene locus, or by two or more very closely linked homologous genes with little or no observable recombination between them”
Blood group system
These are antigens that have a biochemical, serologic, or genetic relationship but do not meet the criteria for a system
Collections
Antigens classified as a collection are assigned a ___ number
200
All remaining RBC antigens that are not associated with a system or a collection are catalogued into the ___ series of low-prevalence antigens, or the ___ series of high-prevalence antigens
700
901
A unique blood group system as it is not synthesized by the RBCs but are from plasma adsorbed onto RBC membrane
Lewis
The Le gene is located on which chromosome?
Chromosome 19
Which gene enables the H gene transferase to act in the secretions in that case of Lewis blood group?
Se gene
ISBT number of the Lewis blood group
007
Genes present in the Lewis blood group system that do not produce detectable products
le, h, se (amorph genes)
If Le gene is inherited, which antigens are found in the secretions and adsorbed onto the red cell?
Lea
If Se gene is inherited, which antigens are found in the secretions and adsorbed onto the red cell?
Leb
The Le gene codes for an enzyme which add what sugar to type 1 chains?
L-fucose
Which gene/s is/are needed for the expression of Lea substance?
Le gene
Which gene/s is/are needed for the expression of Leb substance?
Le & Se genes
Lewis phenotype that is discovered to be mostly non-secretors of ABH substances
Le(a+b-)
Lewis phenotype that is discovered to be mostly secretors of ABH substances
Le(a-b+)
Lewis phenotype that is discovered to be either secretors or non-secretors of ABH substances
Le(a-b-)
Lewis phenotype that is the result of the genetic interaction of Lele and Sese genes
Le(a-b+)
In the case of Le(a-b+) phenotype, both Lea-soluble and Leb-soluble antigens can be found in the secretion, but only which antigen adsorbs onto the red cell?
Leb
