absence of Ag expression
due to silencer or amorph

have variable frequency, can cause severe problems

Question 16

Naming Ags

Answer 16

Genes - italics or underlined
Ag - numbers or letters superscript
Alleles-ISBT terminology gene included with * and ISBT #

Question 17

Phenotype

Answer 17

how a person serologically presents ag (not collections) regardless of genetics

Question 18

Kell Sytem
antetheicals

single mutation….

only?

Answer 18

second most immunogenic
K and k antethetical
Jsa -Jsb
kpa -kpb

single mutation of KEL (big K) on chrom 7 separate anthethetical ag inherited as glycoprotein

only high/low incidence

Question 19

Answer 19

K = Kell
little k = cellano

Question 20

mother group of Kell system

Answer 20

little k/Kpb/Jsb

Question 21

K ag

Answer 21

2nd most immunogenic next to D ag

Question 22

Kpa ag

Answer 22

supresses other Ag in expression in haplotype

Question 23

Jsa Ag

Answer 23

prevelance is unique to african population

Question 24

XK

Answer 24

like rhag, holds onto KEL,
x linked

Question 25

What does DTT chemical disrupt?

Answer 25

disrupts cystine bonds that hold the ag

Question 26

What does Kell cause
disease
what kind of glycoprotein?what does it do?

null ?
What syndrome?

enhanced with?

Answer 26

severe hemolytic disease
kell glycoprotein is a single pass transmembrane protein in rbc

Null for kell is acanthocytes
MCLEOD SYNDROME - CGD

enhanced with ficin and papain

Question 27

Kell Ab
immunoglobulin
compliment relationship
AHG phase?
Rxns?

Answer 27

IgG
no compliment doesnt cause hemolysis
AHG no detection
severe hemolytic rxns

Question 28

Anti- K

Anti-Ku

Anti-Kx+ km

Answer 28

an- K: most common Ab seen in Blood bank

An-Ku: detects all ag in Kell system

An-Kx+: Km rxn stronger w Ko weaker w normal kell

Kidd system
notorious for….

rxns?

ag?

Answer 29

Ab are notorious for extreme dosage and quick titer in vivo

delayed hemolytic transfusion rxns

Jka Jkb
