Q

which of the bgs is most common cause of DHTR

a. kidd
b, duffy
c. lutheran
d. P

A

answer: kidd

anti JKa and anti JKb
- they are immune antibodies amde to response to PREGANCY OR TRANSFUSION

  • The decline in antibody reactivity and the difficulty in detecting Kidd antibodies are reasons why they are a common cause of HTRs, especially of the delayed type

✓ Most Common cause of DHTR (delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction)

✓ Contrary to their hemolytic reputation in transfusion, most Kidd antibodies are only rarely associated with severe cases of HDFN

Q

The Kell glycoprotein is covalently linked with another protein, called ___,

a. Anti - LW
b. oH
c. XK
d. aota

A

The Kell glycoprotein is covalently linked with another protein, called Xk, by a single disulfide
bond.

Kell antigen expression is dependent upon the presence of the Xk protein

Q

depressed Kell antigen are seen on RBCs witth rare

a. hodgkins lymphoma
b. leach phenotype
c. CGD
d. Mc leod syndrome

A
  • Depressed Kell antigens are seen on RBCs with the rare Gerbich-negative phenotypes Ge: –2, –3, 4 and Ge: –2, –3, –4.(leach phenotype)
  • Patients with AUTPIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA, in which the autoantibody is directed against a Kell antigen, may have depressed expression of that antigen.

Q

LACK OF EXPRESSION OF KELL ANTIGENS

A. Kx antigen

b. Ko phenotype
c. Anti - Ku

A

Ko phenotype

- Ko RBCs LACK OF EXPRESSION of all Kell antigens

17
Q

which of the following is low frequency Kell antigens

a. Kpa
b. k
c. Jsa
d. Jsb

A

Antibodies to Kpa ,Jsa ,and other low frequency Kell antigens

     - exposed to the antigen
    - Most often detected through unexpected incompatible cross-matches or cases of HDN

Antibodies to k, Kpb , Jsb ,and other High frequency Kell antigen
- Antibodies to high frequency Kell antigens are rare, because so few people lack the antigen

18
Q

what BGS does blood bankers seldom deal

a. kidd
b. kell
c. duffy
d. lutheran

A

Lutheran BGS

  • Blood bankers seldom deal with the serology of the Lutheran blood group system.
19
Q

HDFN is rare and only mild at birth

a. Lutheran
b. MNS
c. Kell
d. Duffy

A

answer: Lutheran BGS

Lua and Lub

  • HDFN is rare and only mild at birth
  • Lutheran glycoprotein on placental tissue may result in adsorption of maternal antibodies to Lutheran antigens, thus decreasing the likelihood of HDFN
20
Q

whichof the antibody of Lutheran is IgG

a. Anti - Lua
b. Anti Lub
c. Anti Lu3

A

Anti-Lua

✓ Most are naturally occurring saline agglutinins (IgM) that react better at room temperature than 37’C

✓ Experienced technologists recognize Lutheran antibodies by their characteristic loose, mixed-field reactivity in a test tube

A

Anti-Lua

✓ Most are naturally occurring saline agglutinins (IgM) that react better at room temperature than 37’C

✓ Experienced technologists recognize Lutheran antibodies by their characteristic loose, mixed-field reactivity in a test tube

22
