Antibody that can be inhibited by hydatid cyst fluid
Anti-P1
Antibody/antibody class associated with paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
Auto anti-P
IgG biphasic
ID by Donath-Landsteiner test
What antigen in the P system deteriorates rapidly during storage?
P1 antigen
What is the Donath-Lansteiner test used for?
Anti-P autoantibody
- No gene for I or i but the presence or absence of many glycosyl transferases results in different sequences added to the original structure
- I and i antigens are the subterminal portions of the molecules that are eventually converted to H, A, or B
Transition of i to I antigen
Antibody characteristics of Ii system
IgM - only significant if it is masking the presence of another antibody. Not RBC stimulated, usually autoantibody
Transient antibody associated with infectious mononucleosis
Anti-i
Anti-I thermal activity
usually weak IgM
Potent anti-I thermal activity
Can occur with an IgM molecule that has a wide thermal range - reacting at 30 C or warmer.
Anti-i
Usually IgM and react best at 4 C
Antibody associated with Mycoplasma infections
Anti-I (cold agglutinin disease)
Anti-I cord blood activity
Does NOT agglutinate with cord cells
Anti-i cord blood activity
Agglutinates with cord blood
How can you differentiate pathogenic anti-I and non pathogenic anti-I?
Pathogenic anti-I will react equally with adult or cord cells (ii)
Which blood group is most likely to make anti-H?
A1B combination because they have the least amount of H on the surface
Acquisition of Le (a)
Substance is produced if the individual has inherited the Le gene. This substance will absorb onto the surface of the RBC & become an RBC surface antigen & is a glycolipid Le (a+b-)
Acquisition of Le (b)
Substance is interaction of the Le gene, the H gene, & the Se gene. If all three are present, the Le (b) soluble antigen is produced in addition to Le (a) when both are in secretions.
- More successful at absorbing onto the surface of RBC
- Le (a-b+)
Is Le (a+b-) a secretor?
No
Is Le (a-b+) a secretor?
Yes
Is Le (a-b-) a secretor?
Unkown
Do enzymes affect the Lewis antigen?
Yes, by enhancing the activity
Where are the Lewis antigens produced?
Tissue
Significance of anti-Le(a), anti-Le(b)
Considered insignificant because of their neutralization by Lewis substances, poor attachment to RBC, IgM class
Do the Lewis antigens show dosage and are the reactions changed with enzymes?
No dosage, reactions are enhanced by enzymes
Who is most likely to make anti-Le(a) or Le(b)?
Pregnant women sometimes change to Le(a-b-) no matter what Lewis genes they have inherited.
Chromosome MNSsU is on
4
Does MNSsU show dosage?
Yes
Enzyme reaction of MNSsU system
All decrease with enzymes
When MNSsU system is developed
At birth
Precursor to MN
Glycophorin A
Precursor to SsU
Glycophorin B
Anti-M antibody Class
Naturally occurring IgM or rarely immune IgG
Anti-M complement fixation
Does not fix complement
Anti-M temp of reactivity
Not reaction above or at 30 C - not clinically significant
Anti-M cause of HDN/HTR
Should be concerned about HDN
Is anti-M RBC stimulated?
No
Anti-N antibody class
IgM or occasional IgG
Does anti-N fix complement?
Does not fix complement
Anti-N temp of reactivity
Only significant if reacting at or above 30 degrees
