Q

7 characterisitics of IgM Abs

A
  • Large molecule (pentamer)
  • Binds C’ efficiently
  • Direct agglutination at immediate spin
  • Room temperature (in vitro) or colder is optimal (enhances reactivity)
  • Naturally occurring
  • Does not cross placenta
  • Not clinically significant

Q

How do Lewis “soluble” Ags differ from all other red cell Ags?

A

Ags are mfg’d by tissues and released into body fluids instead of being produced by RBCs and incorporated into the RBC membrane
- Adsorbed onto membrane (works like Velcro)

A

Anti-M

25
Q

Anti-Le(a) is never made by individuals w/ Le(a-b+) phenotype b/c…

A

Le(a) won’t be seen as foreign b/c it’s a subgroup of Le(b)

26
Q

Are you a secretor w/ the Lewis phenotype Le(a+b-)?

A

No

27
Q

Are you a secretor w/ the Lewis phenotype Le(a-b+)?

A

Yes

28
Q

Both I and i Abs are considered to be ____

A

Autoantibodies

29
Q

I and i Abs are naturally occurring found in 100% of people at ____ and ____

A

Low titer; low thermal amplitude (detected at limited cold temps 4-6C)

30
Q

Where are P Ags found?

A

RBCs, WBCs, tissues, plasma, and some secretions

31
Q

Where are M and N Ags located?

A

Glycophorin A (GPA)

32
Q

M and N Ags are ____ at birth

A

Fully developed

33
Q

When MM or NN has a stronger reaction than MN

A

Marked dosage

34
Q

Most common phenotype in Kell blood group system

A

Kpb (> 99.0%)

35
Q

3 common allelic pairs in Kell blood group system

K and k
Kpa and Kpb
Jsa and Jsb

36
Q

In allelic pairs in Kell system, 1st Ag is ____ frequency

A

Low

37
Q

In allelic pairs in Kell system, 2nd Ag is ____ frequency

k → 98.8%
K → 9%
Kpa → 2% (Caucasian)
Jsa →
39
Q

McLeod phenotype

- Kell system Ag expression

A

-K genes inherited but no K precursor present → weakened expression of all K Ags (look like Knull)

40
Q

McLeod phenotype

- Inheritance

A

X-linked carrier of mother

41
Q

McLeod phenotype

- Lifespan of Kell Ag

A

Shortened lifespan b/c K precursor is an integral protein on the RBC membrane

42
Q

McLeod phenotype

- Associated w/ what disease?

A

Chronic Granulomatous disease

43
Q

Most immunogenic Ag of Kell system

A

?

44
Q

Abs in Kell system other than anti-K are uncommon, why?

A

B/c they’re directed against high frequency Ags

45
Q

Transfusion practices w/ Kell Abs

A

All Abs of Kell system are clinically significant (IgG) and MUST “honor” in Xm w/ Ag-neg donors

46
Q

A

Caucasians: 17%
AA: 9%

47
