Q

lewis b

A

H substance with terminal fucose and subterminal fucose = tot 2 fucose

17
Q

how are secretions turned into A or B antigens

A

same transferase as RBC

18
Q

describe bombay patients

A

no H substance = no A, B or lewis expression

19
Q

most to least detectible H substance on antigens

A

O>A2>B>A2B>A1>A1B

20
Q

A1 subgroup

A

A transferase on straight and branchy
- pos anti A and Anti-A1 lectin

21
Q

A2 subgroup

A

A transferase only onto linear H branches
- pos w/ anti A
- neg a/ anti -A1

22
Q

A3

A

mixed field agglutination

23
Q

A(end)

A

weak anti-A agglutination = weak mixed field

24
Q

Ax

A

weak agglutination with only AB

25
Q

Am

A

A in saliva, anti-A neg

26
Q

Ay

A

small amt antiA in saliva

27
Q

Ael

A

needs elution to detect
- secretions only H substance

28
Q

B3

A

mixed field with anti B

29
Q

Bx

A

weakly reactive anti-B

30
Q

dolichos bifilarous

A

A1 specificity - flowers

31
Q

banderiea simplicifolia

A

B subgroup detection

32
Q

ulex eruopa

A

H substance detection (bombay/para)

33
Q

what determines secretor status

A
  • FUT2 on chromosome 19 making the type 1 secretion substance
34
Q

risky transplants

A

due to carbohydrates on secretions

35
Q

Le(ab)

A

antibody reacts with both Le(a) and Le(b)

36
Q

Le(bH)

A

antibody reactis with only Lewis b that do not have A or B sugar attached

37
Q

Ig identitidy of lewis antigens

A

IgM

38
Q

the immunodominant sugar responsible for group B specificity is

A

d-galactose
