OTHER BLOOD GROUPS P3 Flashcards
made an association between the rare Kell phenotypes, including the McLeod phenotype, and the rare
X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).
1971: Giblett and colleagues
McLeod carriers exhibit two RBC populations: one having ___ and normal ______, the other having
the _______ and ________
Kx and Kell antigens ; McLeod phenotype and acanthocytosis
McLeod males with CGD make ________
anti-Kx + Km
(McLeod Phenotype & Syndrome)
Reacts strongly with ____ RBCs, weaker with normal ____ phenotype RBCs, and not at all with ______ phenotype RBCs
Ko ; Kell ; McLeod
_________: made by McLeod males without CGD
Anti-Km
used to describe other phenotypes with very weak Kell expression, often requiring adsorption-
elution tests for detection
Kmod
RBCs may appear to acquire Kell antigens.
Kmod
described a K– patient who acquired a K-like antigen during a Streptococcus faecium infection
McGinnis and coworker
Most ____________________ are directed against undefined high-prevalence Kell antigens, but identifiable autoantibodies to K, Kpb, and K13 have been reported.
Kell system autoantibodies
Mimicking specificities have also been reported, such as when an apparent anti-K is eluted from DAT+ K– RBCs and the anti-K in the eluate can be adsorbed onto K– RBCs.
Autoantibodies

DUFFY (008) SYSTEM
1950: named for Mr. Duffy, who was found to have the first described example of _______
anti-Fya.
1951: discovered an antithetical antigen, _____, found in the serum of a woman who had three pregnancies.
Fyb
1955: _____________
- reported that the majority of African Americans tested were Fy(a–b–).
- The gene responsible for this null phenotype was called ______
Sanger and colleagues ; Fy
common genotype in blacks, especially in Africa; the gene is rare in whites.
FyFy
1975
- observed that Fy(a–b–) RBCs resist infection in vitro by the monkey malaria organism Plasmodium
knowlesi.
- later shown that Fy(a–b–) RBCs also resist infection by Plasmodium vivax (one of the organisms causing
malaria in humans )
YES
______, ______: rarely encountered in duffy
Fy3, Fy5
RBCs that are Fy(a–b–) are also Fy: ____, _____
–3, –5.
____ is also not present on Rhnull RBCs, regardless of the Fya or Fyb status of those RBCs.
Fy5
____ blood group system: symbol FY or 008 by the ISBT
Duffy
most important in routine blood bank serology
Fya & Fyb
Fya & Fyb can be identified on fetal RBCs as early as _______ gestational age and are well developed at birth.
6 weeks
found in body tissues, including brain, colon, endothelium, lung, spleen, thyroid, thymus, and kidney cells.
Fya & Fyb
destroyed by ficin, papain, bromelin, and chymotrypsin, and by ZZAP (which contains either papain or
ficin in addition to DTT)
Fya & Fyb
Fya & Fyb not affected by _____ alone, _____, or glycine-acid EDTA treatment.
DTT ; AET
reduce the molecular weight of Fya and Fyb, but not destroyed antigenic activity and neither does purified trypsin
Neuraminidase
Fya and Fyb in position 42
Fya = glycine
Fyb = aspartic acid
common antibody and is found as a single specificity or in a mixture of antibodies.
Anti-Fya
Anti-Fya: occurs ____ times less frequently than anti-K.
three
20 times less common than anti-Fya and often occurs in combination with other antibodies.
Anti-Fyb:
- IgG and react best at the antiglobulin phase.
- Antibody activity is enhanced in a low ionic strength medium.
- associated with acute and delayed HTRs.
- associated with HDFN that ranges from mild to severe.
Anti-Fya & Anti-Fyb

located near the centromere on the long arm of chromosome 1 at position 1q21-q22.4
ACKR1
syntenic to the Rh locus, which is located near the tip of the short arm;
Fy locus
There are three common alleles at the Fy locus: ___, ____, ______.
_____ and _____ encode the antithetical
antigens Fya and Fyb, respectively, and ___ is a silent allele and is the major allele in blacks.
Fya, Fyb, and Fy.
Fya and Fyb ; Fy
Molecular testing for the GATA mutation is helpful for transfusion management for patients with
