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

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.
