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)
Who described anti-k and in what year it was?
Levine et al ; 1949
It was discovered in 1957 and 1958
discovery of the antithetical antigens Kpa and Kpb
Who discovered discovered Jsa
Giblett
Who discovered Jsb
Walker et al
discovered K0
null phenotype
In 1961, Allen et al described
McLeod phenotype
rare phenotype of kell blood group system
McLeod phenotype
Second most immunogenic
K antigen
The K antigen can be detected on fetal RBCs
10 weeks
Antigens that are well developed at birth:
- Kell
- MNSs
- Duffy
- Kidd
The k antigen can be detected on fetal RBCs
7 weeks
These enzymes can destroy K antigen when used in combination.
trypsin and chymotrypsin
K
k
Kpa
Kpb
Jsa
Jsb
- Kell
- Cellano
- Penney
- Rautenberg
- Sutter
- Matthews
considered as the most common antibody seen in blood bank.
Anti- K
Anti- K is associated in
Severe hemolytic transfusion reaction
severe hemolytic disease of the newborn
Kx is present on all RBCs except
rare McLeod phenotype.
Anti-k phases in crossmatching
- Immediate spin
- 37 C phase
- AHG phase/Coomb’s phase
Kx Antigen genes are located on what chromosome
X chromosome
It has an inverse relationship with K antigen.
Kx antigen
It is called McLeod because of
donor
weak expression of k, Kpb and Jsb is detectable by
adsorption-elution methods
McLeod phenotype also appears in
Kell null
Example of adsorption elution methods
washing of red cell
Abnormal red cell morphology seen in McLeod phenotype
Acanthocytes
Patient with Mcleod phenotype have a
chronic but well compensated hemolytic
anemia characterized by
reticulocytosis, bilirubinemia, splenomegaly and reduced serum haptoglobin levels.
McLeod phenotype is associated with
X-Linked CGD - (Chronic
Granulomatous Disease)
characterized by the inability of the phagocytes to make NADH oxidase, an enzyme important in generating H2O2, which is used to kill ingested bacteria.
X-Linked CGD (Chronic Granulomatous Disease)
