is associated with glycophorin A
M and N
associated with glycophorin B.
Ss
important markers in paternity testing
● Are found on red cells, not in body fluids and secretions
MNS antigens
the first amino acid is serine while the 5th is glycine.
M antigen
the first amino acid is leucine while the 5th amino acid is glutamic acid.
N antigen
S, the 29th amino acid is methionine.
For s, the 29th amino acid is threonine.
Ss
○ Are not clinically significant antibodies
○ Have limited biological activity
○ Mostly IgM, naturally occurring cold reactive saline agglutinins that do not bind, complement or react with enzyme-treated cells (DESTROYED by ENZYMES!)
Anti M and N
seen in renal patients who are dialyzed with equipment sterilized with formaldehyde
Anti N
reaction is enhanced by acidification
Anti M
Clinically significant
Mostly are IgG, reactive at 37C and the antiglobulin phase
Anti S and s
P1, P, or Pk may be found on
RBCs, lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes.
can be found on platelets, epithelial cells, and fibroblasts.
P
found in plasma as glycosphingolipids and as glycoproteins in hydatid cyst fluid.
P and Pk
antigens are poorly developed at birth
P1 ags
antigens are analogous to A1 and A2 in ABO.
P1 and P2 antigens
a precursor of P antigen.
Pk
the most common phenotype.
P1
a null phenotype because of absence of antigens. It is
associated with the Parvovirus B19 in which it serves as receptor
P
antigen is associated with shiga toxin, E.coli, and Hemolytic
Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
Pk
○ Naturally occurring IgM Abs in the sera of P2 individuals; a weak cold reactive saline agglutinin
○ Can be neutralized with soluble P1 substance in hydatid cyst fluid (Echinococcus granulosus infection)
Anti-P1
○ Naturally occurring alloantibody in the sera of all Pk individuals
○ Allo-anti-P is clinically significant. It is associated with rare spontaneous abortion.
Anti-P
IgG biphasic hemolysins associated with PAROXYSMAL COLD HEMOGLOBINURIA
AUTOANTI-P (Donath Landsteiner antibody)
○ Predominantly IgM; binds complement
○ Associated with spontaneous abortions in early pregnancy may demonstrate in vitro hemolysis
Anti-PP1Pk (Anti-Tja)
● At birth, infant red cells are rich in
i antigen
Weak naturally occurring saline reactive IgM autoagglutinin detectable only at 4C
Benign Anti-I
○ Potent cold autoagglutinin that demonstrates high titer reactivity and reacts over a wide thermal range (0-30C)
○ Pxs with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections may develop strong cold agglutinins with autoanti-I specificity
Pathologic Anti-Inflammatory
○ An IgM agglutinin and reacts optimally at 4C
○ Associated with infectious mononucleosis
Anti-i
○ T stands for transition
○ Found in Melanesians and Yanomama Indians in Venezuela
○ Associated with Hodgkin’s Disease
Anti-I ^T
- Found only on red cells, are well-developed at birth and are not destroyed by enzymes
- rated second to D antigen in immunogenicity
- Destroyed or inactivated by sulfhydryl reagents like AEY, DTT, ZZAP (artificial Kell null)
Kell antigens
- Lacks Kell antigens
- Have no membrane abnormality
KO or K NULL phenotype
Lacks the Kx antigen (which might be a precursor for Kell antigens)
McLeod phenotype
Common among males suffering from Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
Mcleod Phenotype
the most common antibody seen in blood bank
○ Located at chromosome 7
○ IgG “immune” antibodies reactive in AHG phase
○ Can cause both HDN and HTR
Anti-K
○ Two most important antigens associated with transfusion medicine in the Duffy blood group system
○ Well-developed at birth
○ Easily destroyed by common proteolytic enzymes
Fya and Fyb
Important anthropological marker for African blacks
Fy (a-b-)
Were shown to resist infection cause by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi
Fya and Fyb
○ Usually IgG antibodies and react best at the AHG phase
○ Both are implicated in delayed HTR (DHTR) and HDN
- shows dosage effect
Anti-Fya and Anti-Fyb
Anti-Fya and Anti-Fyb, which is more common
Anti-Fya
○ Well-developed at birth, contributing to the potential for HDN
○ SHow in vitro hemolysis
