Q

The Cartwright antigens, Yt(a) and Yt(b) are located in what protein?

A

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE). It’s function in erythrocytes is unknown. AChE is linked to the red cell membrane through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage

37
Q

Alloimmunization is observed in up to what percentage of sickle cell patients?

38
Q

What are the most common blood group antibodies detected in sickle cell patients?

A

Anti-C, anti-E and anti-K

39
Q

Why are anti-C, anti-E and anti-K the most common antibodies observed in sickle cell patients?

A

They are the most immunogenic of all blood group antigens and the corresponding antigens (C, E and K) are more frequently found in blood donors of European ethnicity.

A

The r phenotype (cde)

41
Q

A

The R0 phenotype (cDe)

42
Q

What ethnicity has the highest frequency of e negative blood?

A

Native Americans

43
Q

Individuals of Asian decent are most likely what Rh phenotype?
