ABO Flashcards
ABO antigens
carbs attached to red cell surface
chromosome for ABO
9
A antigen
N-acytlegalactose amine
B antigen
galactose
what does chrom 9 code for
transferase to place A or B antigen depending on gene
what does chrom 19 code for
FUT1,2,3 that code for transferase to put fucose on carb chains (RBC, secretions)
FUT 1
codes for type 2 substances
type 2 substances
RBC
FUT 2
codes for type 1 substances
- Se gene
type 1 substances
secretions
where is the secretion gene located
chrom 19
what does secretion gene do
codes for transferase to act on type 1 substances to make an H substance
H substance precursor chain (w/o fucoses)
(top)
gal
glc-nac
gal
glc
where does FUT 3 act
fucosyl transferase adds fucose to subterminal location on H chain
- lewis gene (Le)
lewis A
H substance without terminal fucose but with subterminal fucose = tot 1 fucose
