44
Best reaction Temp and medium in Kell antibodies
AHG (some K at 37C)
45
does Kell fix compliments
20% bind compliments
46
is kell implicated in HDFN and HTR
yes severe
47
Describe how anti-Kell ranks in immunogenicity
most commonly seen in Blood Bank after ABO and Rh antibodies
48
Describe the McLeod phenotype
Males, decreased expression of k, Jsb, and Kpb; X-linked chronic granulomatous disease; Syndrome shows abnormal RBC morphology (Acanthocytosis, Anisocytosis, increased osmotic fragility, Reticulocytosis), reduced serum Haptoglobin, and spleenomegaly. Some muscular abnormalities, cardiomyopathy and increased CK-MM bands.
49
Describe the unique feature of the Lewis system
System of genetically determined water-soluble antigens manufactured by tissue cells and secreted into body fluids. Antigens are adsorbed from the plasma onto the RBCs
50
Name the 3 common phenotypes of the Lewis System and their %.
Phenotypes: Caucasians African Americans Le(a-b+) 72% 55% Le(a+b-) 22% 23% Le(a-b-) 6% 22%
51
what is the phenotype found in newborn for lewis
Le(a-b-)
52
what phenotype of Lewis is found in Newborns saliva
Le^a and Le^b
53
what is found in newborns plasma (lewis)
none | No detectable Le antigen, therefore no Le antigens on newborn RBCs
54
What are the 3 genes the Lewis phenotypes are dependent upon
Le ABO secretor
55
Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le^a:
ABO and Lewis gene; gene codes for L-fucosyltransferase that adds L-fucose to basic precursor substance on tissue cells = Lea soluble substance
56
Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le^b
ABO, Lewis gene and Secretor gene; ABH, Lea and Leb substances in secretions
57
Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le(a-b-)
lele; lack of Le antigens on RBC but still present in tissues and secretions of secretors; also newborn’s phenotype
58
Ig class for Lewis antibodies
IgM
59
Best reaction temp/ medium: for lewis antibodies
RT and Saline
60
Does Lewis fixes Complement
Anti-Lea = YES; anti-Leb = NO
61
Is Lewis implicated in HDFN or HTR:
NO
62
Why is lewis not implicated in HDFN
Newborn phenotype :Le(a-b-) and Le antibodies do not cross placenta
63
Name the condition where Lewis antibodies are frequently encountered and then disappear when the condition clears up

64
What substance neutralizes Lewis antibodies and where is it found
Lewis Blood Group Substance- found in saliva or plasma
