Part F: Lecture 40 Flashcards
RBC have ____ and ___ in their membrane
glycoproteins and glycolipids
_____ are removed from donated blood before transfusions
WBC
ABO blood group is made from ___
glycolipids and glycoproteins
ABO gene is on which chromosome?
9q34 (autosome)
ABO expressed in ___
immature RBCs
ABO encodes for ___
a sugar modifying enzyme
antigen for Type O blood
H-antigen
antigens for Type A blood
A-antigen, H-antigen
antigens for Type B blood
B-antigen, H-antigen
antigens for Type AB blood
A-antigen, B-antigen, H-antigen
genotype for Type O blood
i/i
genotype for Type A blood
I(A)/I(A) , I(A)/I(i)
genotype for Type B blood
I(B)/I(B) , I(B)/I(i)
genotype for Type AB blood
I(A)/I(B)
everyone has ____antigens for blood
H
I(A)/I(B) allele interaction
codominance
I(A)/I(i) allele interaction
complete dominance
Genotype: D/ ___
D-antigen present
Rh+
Genotype: d/d
D-antigen absent
Rh-
Relevance of Rh genotype
must prevent mom’s (Rh-) immune system from attacking fetal Rh+ RBCs
MN blood group
two alleles (M and N)
very similar alleles -> doesn’t matter for blood donations
Current testing for blood type
antibodies agglutinate (clump together) RBCs if the antigen are present
blood type + donor determination
ABO group ✔
Rh+ vs Rh- ✔
