A

Rh antigens

41
Q

Rh antigen enzyme treatment

A

resistant/increased reactivity

42
Q

position effect/gene interaction effect/Ceppellini effect

A

C in trans position weakens expression of D (ex: Dce/dCe)

43
Q

partial D antigen

A

missing epitopes of D antigen

44
Q

can partial D make anti-D?

A

yes if transfused with red cells that carry all the epitopes

45
Q

partial D variants, European ancestry

A

DNB, DVI, DVII

46
Q

partial D variants, African American ancestry

A

DIIIa, DIVa

47
Q

can weak D people make anti D?

A

no

48
Q

definition of weak D positive

A

testing results are negative at IS but strongly positive at AHG

49
Q

when is weak D testing required?

A

before initial labeling

cord bloods of babies born to Rh negative moms

50
Q

Rh compound (cis) antigens

A

f(ce), Ce, cE, CE

51
Q

f antigen

A

single entity that results from conformational change within Rhce protein
little c, little e in cis position

52
Q

anti-f reacts with:

A

Dce, dce (ce in cis position)

53
Q

transfusion requirements for patients with anti-f

A

little c OR little e negative (both have to be present for f to be present so only have to be negative for one)

54
Q

Rhi (RH7)

A

C and e inherited in cis position (R1, r’)

55
Q

G (Rh12)

A

present when C or D antigen present

56
Q

anti-G

A

will react with C positive and/or D positive

may be mistaken for combo anti-C, anti-D

57
Q

how to differentiate anti-G from combination anti-C, anti-D?

A

elution and adsorption studies

58
Q

V antigen frequency

A

30% of black populatio

59
Q

VS antigen frequency

A

32% of black population

60
Q

exalted D gene deletion

A

when all of Ee or Ee and Cc is missing and D gene is present, D antigen is unusually strong

61
Q

D– (D dash dash)

A

deletion that results in no CE expression
negative for Rh37
can make anti-Rh17

62
Q

D.. (D dot dot)

A

partial loss of RHCE protein and increased dose of RHD protein
positive for Rh37
can make anti-Rh17

63
Q

Rh null phenotype

A

lack all Rh antigens and LW antigens, rarest blood type in the world, can make anti-Rh29 (total Rh)

64
Q

amorphic Rhnull

A

inheritance of silent alleles at the Rh locus from both parents (—/—)
deletion in RHD and RHCE gene with normal RHAG
