49
Q

Describe the unique feature of the Lewis system

A

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
Q

Name the 3 common phenotypes of the Lewis System and their %.

A

Phenotypes: Caucasians African Americans
Le(a-b+) 72% 55%
Le(a+b-) 22% 23%
Le(a-b-) 6% 22%

51
Q

what is the phenotype found in newborn for lewis

A

Le(a-b-)

52
Q

what phenotype of Lewis is found in Newborns saliva

A

Le^a and Le^b

53
Q

what is found in newborns plasma (lewis)

A

none

No detectable Le antigen, therefore no Le antigens on newborn RBCs

54
Q

What are the 3 genes the Lewis phenotypes are dependent upon

A

Le ABO secretor

55
Q

Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le^a:

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
Q

Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le^b

A

ABO, Lewis gene and Secretor gene; ABH, Lea and Leb substances in secretions

57
Q

Describe the inheritance of the Lewis System of Le(a-b-)

A

lele; lack of Le antigens on RBC but still present in tissues and secretions of secretors; also newborn’s phenotype

58
Q

Ig class for Lewis antibodies

A

IgM

59
Q

Best reaction temp/ medium: for lewis antibodies

A

RT and Saline

60
Q

Does Lewis fixes Complement

A

Anti-Lea = YES; anti-Leb = NO

61
Q

Is Lewis implicated in HDFN or HTR:

A

NO

62
Q

Why is lewis not implicated in HDFN

A

Newborn phenotype :Le(a-b-) and Le antibodies do not cross placenta

63
Q

Name the condition where Lewis antibodies are frequently encountered and then disappear when the condition clears up

A

pregnancy

64
Q

What substance neutralizes Lewis antibodies and where is it found

A

Lewis Blood Group Substance- found in saliva or plasma
