other blood group 2 Flashcards
what is almost undetectable in infant?
Anti-I
At what month the quantity of “i”
slowly decreases?
18 months
expressed in a reciprocal relationship that is developmentally regulated
I and i antigens
individuals who do not change their “i” status after birth
Rare i adult or negative phenotype
Common autoantibody that can be benign or
pathologic.
Anti-I
Found in serum of normal individual.
Benign Anti-I
Potent IgM agglutinins, reacting up to 30°C or 32°C
Pathologic Anti-I
Demonstrates strong reactions with adult cells and weak reactions with cord cells.
Anti-I
Not associated with HDN
Anti-I
Weak, naturally occurring saline reactive IgM agglutin that reacts at 4C.
Pathologic Anti-I
causes interfering factors when performing reverse typing
Benign Anti-I
Not associated with in vivo red cell destruction
Benign Anti-I
Pathologic Anti-I is associated with what diseases?
o Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD)
o Cold Hemagglutinin Disease (CHD)
o Primary Atypical Pneumonia (PAP)
Pathologic Anti-I attach in vivo and causes
autoagglutination and vascular occlusion or intravascular hemolysis
This patient has walking pneumonia or Mycoplasma pneumonia
Autoanti-I
Immunoglobulin nature of Anti-I
IgM
Anti-I and autoanti-I are seen in
Infectious mononucleosis
Alcoholic Cirrhosis
Myeloid Leukemia
Reticuloses
Production of autoanti-I is also associated with
infectious mononucleosis (IM) (caused by EBV),
reticuloses, myeloid leukemias and alcoholic cirrhosis
This bacteria is reported from a patient with
cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia to absorb anti- I and stimulate its production in rabbits
Listeria monocytogenes
It was identified in 1946
Anti-K (Anti capital K)

Levine et al ; 1949
It was discovered in 1957 and 1958
discovery of the antithetical antigens Kpa and Kpb
Who discovered discovered Jsa
