True / false: in people of African ethnicity, the phenotype Fy (a-b-) is most common; The Duffy antigens, also found on many cells of the body, is also lacking in individuals with this phenotype, thus, the chances of making Anti-Fy(b), -Fy3, and -Fy5 are very high.

False
The Fy(a-b-) phenotype in African ancestry is caused by the silencing of the homozygous FY*02N.01 allele (GATA-1 mutation?) = prevents Fy(b) expression in erythroid (blood cell) tissues. So in this Fy(a-b-) pheno, Fy(b) is lacking only in the red cells, but present in many cells throughout the body so they very rarely make the antibodies.

Which of these red cell antigens or proteins is used as a receptor for merozoites like P. vivax (malaria)?
A. Band 3
B. HUT ( urea transporter)l
D. ACKR1 (atypical chemokine receptor)
D. ERMAP (erythroblast membrane associated protein)

C. ACKR1
This glycoprotein is present in many organs; but function is unknown
Fy(a-b-) are resistant to malaria; they are NOT necessarily lacking the ACKR1
FY*02N.01 allele mutation may give selective advantage to endemic areas

True / false - Fya expression in infants usually reach adult expression at 12 weeks after birth

True

Which ethnicity is Fya antigen most likely expressed in?
A. Caucasian
B. Blacks
C. Asian
D. Hispanic

C. Asian

True / false - Anti-Fyb is less immunogenic than anti - Fya

True

C. Polynesians

Which red cell protein or antigens are the Kidd antigens located at?
A. Band 3
B. SLC14A1
C. ACKR1
D. ERMAP

B. SLC14A1

Red cell urea transporter

Which method is used to effectively screen donors for the Jk(a-b-) phenotype? A. Cell lysis with 2M urea B. Test for agglutination with Rh null red cells C. RBC inhibition activity with hydatid cyst fluid D. Donath-Landsteiner test

A. Cell lysis with 2M urea Normal RBCs are lysed by 2M urea (becomes hypertonic then bursts). Jk(a-b-) doesn´t have the SLC14A1 urea transporter so cells do not hemolyze with 2M urea RBC inhibition activity with hydatid cyst fluid - antisera for P1 inhibition Donath-Landsteiner test - test for auto anti-P

How do you differentiate Anti-LW from anti-D? A. Test plasma with ficin treated cells; anti-LW will react, anti-D will not B. Test plasma with trypsin treated cells; anti-LW is non reactive, anti-D will react C. Test plasma with pronase treated cells; anti-LW will react, anti-D will not D. Test plasma with DTT treated cells; anti-LW is non reactive, anti-D will react

D. Test plasma with DTT treated cells; anti-LW is non reactive, anti-D will react Anti-LW non reactive and Anti-D is reactive with DTT and pronase treated cells (Remember anti-D is reactive with DTT)

``` S and s antigens are sensitive to these forms of red cell treatment except: A. a-chymotrypsin B. Bromelin C. Pronase D. Trypsin E. None of the above ```

D. Trypsin

E. None of the above Choices A-C applies to PP1Pk

Which test can demonstrate the reactivity of autoanti-P? A. Donath-Landsteiner B. Neutralization with hydatid cyst fluid C. Neutralization with saliva D. Kleihauer-Betke

A. Donath-Landsteiner Demonstrates the biphasic hemolysin characteristic of autoanti-P

A rare gene deletion at the GPYA locus produces which phenotype?

M-, N-, En(a-) No GPA is produced = so no M and N antigens produced

The M^k M^k phenotype is the null phenotype of which blood group system?

MNS system this phenotype is produced by the rare silent Mk gene RBCs type as M-N-S-s-U-En(a-), Wr(a-,b-)

Individuals who have the McLeod phenotype typically also show which RBC deformity?

Acanthocytes

Fy^x is the weak form of which Duffy antigen?

Fyb there is no anti-Fy^x

Which associated phenoty?pe differentiates Fy5 from Fy3
