Blood Groups Flashcards
Residual HLA class1 glycoprotein molecules on RBCs
BG antigens
Weak on cord cells
Chromosome 6. Band p21. I
BG antigens are sensitive to (2 chemicals)
CDP and EGA
Ch/Rg sensitive to?
Enzymes: Ficin/papain
Pronase, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin
Also, can be neutralized
Ch/Rg (017)
RESISTANT to…
DTT, CDP and EGA
9 antigens in Kn system (022)
Kna, Knb, McCa, McCb, Sla, Yka, Vil, SI3, KCAM
JMH resistant to (2 chemicals)
Acquired loss of CD108
EGA and CDP
Proteolytic enzymes
Ficin
Papain
Disulfide bond reducing agents
DTT
AET
PP1Pk are glycoLIPIDS, not glycoPROTEINS
True
Alternate form of a gene
Allele
Fixed position on a chromosome
Locus
Group of alleles inherited together
Haplotyoe
Eg. RHD and RHCE
Duffy gene
FY; ACKR1 (atypical chemokine receptor 1)
Chr: 1
5 antigens
Receptor for plasmodium vivax and knowlesi
CCI = (PLT increment)x(body surface area - m^2) / number PLTs transfused x10^11
PPR percent platelet recovery
(PLT increment) x (weight inKg x 75ml) / (PLT count of product)x(PLT volume in mL)
Gene for MNS system (002)
GYPA (M,N)
GYPB (S, s)
Chr: 4
4 common antigen: M N S s
49 total antigens
Gene for Lewis system
(LE/007)
FUT3
Chr: 19
6 antigens
Gene for Kell system
(006)
KEL
Chr: 7
6 common antigens (KEL1-6)
36 total antigens
Gene for Kidd system
(JK/009)
SLC14A1 (solute carrier/transport protein)
Chr: 18
UT-B urea transport protein
3 common antigens
Jka, Jkb, Jk3
Jk(a-b-) seen in Polynesian and Chinese
Silencing gene results in SINGLE dose expression of antithetical antigen
Weaker than double dose expression
Eg. Fyb silenced = SINGLE dose Fya in Fy(a+b-) in AA donors
Blood groups characterized in 4 ways:
- Serologically
- Genetically
- Functionally
- Structurally
Gene for P1PK system (003)
P1PK; A4GALT
Chr: 22
3 antigens P1, Pk, NOR

H; FUT1 (a-fucosyltransferase enzyme)
Chr: 19
A1 lectin
Dolichos biflorus
Anti-H lectin
Ulex europaeus
Secretor gene name
FUT2 (Se or secretor)
Chr: 19
Bombay phenotype
Inheritance of non-functional FUT1(H) and FUT2(Se) gene
Para-Bombay
Inherited NON-functional FUT1(H) gene with FUNCTIONAL FUT2/Se gene
GLOB (Globoside) 028
2 antigens: P, Px2
Chr 3
Anti PP1Pk
IgM or IgM/IgG
Clinically significant
Naturally occurring in ‘p’ phenotype
Seen in: spontaneous abortion
Anti-P
Naturally occurring in P1k and P2k phenotypes
-recurrent spontaneous abortions and PCH
RH blood group gene (004)
RHD, RHCE (codominant)
Chr: 1
5 common antigens
Rh ‘combo’ antigens:
ce(f) RH6
Ce RH7 (rhi)
CE (Rh 22)
cE (Rh 27)
RH null caused by…
RHAG Rh-associated glycoprotein gene ABSENT or mutated (Chr 6)
-produces stomatocytes (bite cells)
Ena- (high) caused by loss of this
Lack of Glycophorin A
Lack of GPB results in…
No S or s expression; lack U antigen (high)
