- autosomal dominant inhibitor. In(Lu), inhibitor prevents expression of lutheran through mutations in EKLF (erythroid kruppel like factor) can’t make antibodies (also suppresses P1, Anwj, In, Knops, Cost, Mer2) trace amounts of Lub detected by adsorption/elution
- x-linked one family in australia, women are mainly unaffected carriers, unless they receive two copies of mutated x, men are affected. Shouldn’t make Lu3 (also known as LuMod) trace amounts of Lub detected by adsorption/elution

Testing to trouble shoot acquired B
- test against patients own plasma, patients plasma won’t react. 2. add acetylanhydramine, will put acetyl group back onto the galactosamine. 3. using a different monoclonal reagent anti-B to see if the same reaction takes place 4. acidifying the reaction mixture of human RBCs and reagent antibody will stop this result if it’s caused by acquired B.

Red blood cells lacking Rh/RhAG proteins have structural abnormalities (such as stomatocytosis) and cell membrane defects that can result in hemolytic anemia.[32][44] Only 44 individuals have been reported to have it worldwide.

dual populations of cells. artificially induced chimerism- A person transfused with O blood- both populations of cells present=mixed field. True chimerism very rare- dual population of cells derived from more than one zygote.
Twin chimera (2 different types)
can absorb demised twins cells in utero and create two different cell populations. (blood vs. tissues different cell populations) this would be of course a fraternal twin, Identical twins would be…identical therefore no difference would be shown. can also occur without fetal demise through channels linking the two twins blood lines, can at some point become mixed and seen as self-not foreign so antibodies against are never aquired.
tetragametic chimeras
(dispermic) two different sets of DNA, two eggs fertilized by two sperm, join together
BMT chimerism
two different cell populations are showing, one from the patients original blood line and the second from the transplanted. the blood should be from the donor’s cells transplanted however the tissues in the persons body will be the original cell line.

Hy, Joa, Jsa, Jsb Cw V VS
Rh typing in donors- genotyping improvement
Del and certain Weak D’s or partial D’s in donors are not caught as D positive and are labeled D negative at donor centers due to lack of positive result when performing weak D testing. These units are labeled as D negative and have been shown to cause alloimmunization in D negative individuals. Molecular testing would improve this process by allowing the labeling of D positive for these unique blood types.

Which Gerbich enzymes are/is resistant to enzymes
G3 (G2 and G4 are destroyed by enzymes)
condition that weakens Gerbich antigens
Protein 4.1 deficiency, causes RBC abnormalities as well
Cromer belongs to what family
the complement activation family
Cromer- how many antigens are low prevalence antigens
3: Tcb, Tcc, Wes a
which bllod group antigens are carbohydrates
ABO, Lewis, P1Pk, Globoside, I and FORS
where do the glyocosyltransferases remain to act
in the golgi, add on specific sugars to growingoligosaccharide chain before it goes to surface.
What is the immunizing source of ABO antigens
gut and environmental bacteria, possess abo-like structures.
Pr antigens
Pr1 and Pr2, present on cord cells and adult cells in the same concentration. ‘Native MN glycoproteins’ N-acetylneuraminic acid, destroyed by enzymes. Treatment of neuraminidase decreases antigenicity.
Gya, Hy, and Joa
Gregory, Holly and Joseph all dombrock antigens.
Dombrock
‘dumb jock’ GPI linked protein, hangs on with brute strength, not into art (ART4 gene)
H antigen- sugar pattern
Galactose-n-acetyl-galactosamine- galactose-fucose.
anti-ALG and Lutheran
anti-lymphocyte globulin, given to patients in transplant rejection specifically renal transplant. anti-T cell antibodies. Causes cross reactivity with Lutheran, normally pan reactive, but when diluted has a lutheran specificity that makes it appear like an anti-Lutheran (would have to give null blood normally, but consider that it could be ALG instead.)
P1PK blood group antigens
P1, Pk, NOR
GLOB blood group antigens
P and PX2
Globoside collection antigens
LKE (FORS has it’s own blood group system 031)
pk phenotype lacks….
P, PX2, LKE
Where is P1 expressed, where is P and Pk expressed
P1 expressed only on red cells, P and Pk expressed on many different tissues, P expression on red cells very rich
LKE
(Luke antigen) an elongation from the P antigen
NOR
rare and polyagglutinable additon of alpha- 1-4 galactose to terminus of P (part of P1PK blood group 003)
PX2 on Pk phenoype
Pk phenotypes are lacking PX2 antigen due to B3GALNT mutation
FY6 FY3 FY5 which is resistant to enzymes
Fy6 is susceptible, FY3 and FY5 are resistant
R2R2 lacks which antigen
hrS and hrb (both are negative on e negative cells)
Percentage of population FYa negative
35%
VS+ percentage
26-40% a.a.
Dib is negative in….
Indians
FY3 positive in
100% whites 32% blacks (either Fya or Fyb and 68% of blacks are Fya-Fyb-) FY5 IS THE SAME!!
Which Fy antibody is negative when tested against Rh null cells
Fy5
f percentage
65% positive in whites
Ch/Rg enzymes
Sensitive to ficin/papain
Gerbich enzymes
sensitive to ficin/papain
CIS-AB
both A and B are inherited on one chromosme from a parent and O is inherited on the other. Weakly reacting A cells and B cells, B cells can exhibit MF agglutination, also contains a weak anti-B, reacts with all ordinary AB cells but not with cis-AB. High population found in Japan
DIfference in structure of Rh antigens vs. ABH antigens
ABH-carbohydrates using enzyme to add sugar onto end, Rh antigen is on protein
Fisher-Race Theory and nomenclature
3 different genes one each for Rh, C/c and E/e. Dce/DCe as example of how written
Weiner theory and nomenclature
All Rh inherited together on single gene/allele. DCE for example. Nomenclature represents complete inherited haplotype: R1, R2 etc.
Rh mod
weakened expression of all Rh antigens due to multiple mutations. partial suppression of Rh antigens due to a mutation within RHAG. LW expression also reduced. clinical symptoms similar to Rh null are present though less severe. S, s and U may also be depressed
little r double bar
rr with an equal sign above it. This denotes a true null Rh through the inheritance of two Rh amorph alleles
weiner nomenclature- hr’
c
weiner nomenclature- hr’’
e
Rho nomenclature
D
Rosenfield nomenclature
numerical translation for antigen typing, for example D antigen is Rh1 C is RH2 E is RH3 c RH4 and e-RH5. Testing for presence of these antigens is translated as: 1,2,3,-4,-5 as an example if they are negative for both c and e but positive for the other antigens
ISBT blood group number terminology
every antigen provided a six digit identification number the first three are the antigen blood group the last three are the antigen for example the first three of D are 004 and the last three 001: 004001
Scientist credited for recognizing the correct two genes for Rh system
Tipppet
Difference between RHAG and rh components
RHAG is a polypeptide that is glycosolated (contains sugar structures)
Which Rh haplotypes contains the largest amount of D antigen on the surface of the red cell
R2R2 (besides the elevated D phenotypes)
Which side of the membrane are the ends of the Rh antigen on, intracellular or extracellular
They are both intracellular ends NH2 and COOH
D- can make which antibody
very important distinction this is not D negative, this is elevated D with no RHCE gene/antigens, they can make anti-RH17 or anti-Hr0. Antibody is directed against the entire protein from RHCE
P blood group antigens are a receptor for which bacteria?
P-fimbriated uropathogenic E. Coli. (UTI). Pk is a receptor for shiga toxins and P is a receptor for Parvovirus B19
D– cells have a decrease in what additional RBC protein
CD47 is combined with RHCE on it’s transport to the membrane, when lacking the rhce the CD47 expression is decreased.
