Other Blood Group Systems - IgM and IgG Flashcards
Red cell blood groups classified as IgM
Lewis, MN, ABO, P, Ii
Red cell blood groups classified as IgG
Rh, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, SsU
7 characterisitics of IgM Abs
- 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
7 characteristics of IgG Abs
- Red cell stimulated (unexpected Abs)
- Small in size
- Warm temperature (37C)
- Does not bind C’
- Agglutination at AHG phase
- Cross placenta (HDFN)
- Cause delayed HTR
How do Lewis “soluble” Ags differ from all other red cell Ags?
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)

Lewis Neutralization Test
- If reactivity is ____ in neutralize serum, Lewis Abs are ____
Eliminated; present
Lewis Neutralization Test
- If reactivity ____ in neutralized aliquot, Lewis Abs are ____
Remains; not present
2 reasons why Lewis Abs are not implicated in HDFN
- Lewis Abs are IgM
- Lewis Abs aren’t developed at birth (nothing for Abs to attach to on infant’s cells)
