[JT U2] ABO Subgroups Flashcards
Subgroups are characterized by
lesser antigens
This exists due to a defective enzyme that could not convert H-Ag to A or B-Ag
ABO subgroups
ABO subgroups could not convert ___ to ___ or ___ Ag
H-Ag; A or B-Ag
A subgroups are described by
Von Dungern
A subgroups were described in what year
1911
Most common subgroup
A subgroup
80% of the A subgroup are
A1-Ag
20% of the A subgroup are
A2-Ag
Anti-A1 lectin is from _________________
Dolichos biflorus
For transfusion, we prioritize the same _____________ between the donor and receiver
Blood type
T/F:
A2 individuals produce anti-A1, therefore they are incompatible with A1
True
If A2 is unavailable, what blood type is used for transfusion?
Type O
A1 and A2 Subgroups are associated with what immunodominant sugar?
N-acetyl-d-galactosamine
T/F:
A and B antigens have L-fucose
False
natabunan na yung L-fucose since converted na sila to A and B
Naturally occurring IgM cold reacting antibody
A1 Antibody
Antibody that usually reacts at temperatures only <37C
A1 Antibody
A1 antibody is reactive at __C
37C
Blood Group that has the greatest amount of H ag
O
blood group that reacts with Anti-H since it has a lot of it unconverted
A2
blood group most efficient in converting
A1B
blood group that has the least amount of H ag
A1B
What is the sequence of reactivity of Anti-H antisera with ABO blood groups from greatest amount of H-ag to least amount
O > A2 > B > A2B> A1 > A1B
Lectins are known for their
specificity
Source of Anti-H
Ulex europaeus
