RH Blood Group System Flashcards
ROUTINE RH TYPING
Detects:_______
Specimen:____________
Rgt:________
Result:_____
Detects: D antigen
Specimen: Whole Blood
Rgt: AHG Anti-B (antisera)
Result: Agglutination - Rh negative
No agglu - Rh positive
WEAK D TYPING (Du)
A form of: _________
Specimen: __________
Rgt: _________
Result: _________
A form of: IAT
Specimen: whole blood / RCS( neg control: bovine albumin)
Rgt: AHG
Result: Agglu- weak D pos reported as Rh pos
No Agglu- Rh neg
Blood recipients with the C trans weak D, genetic weak D have complete Ag and cannot reproduce allo-anti D. What can be transfused?
Rh positive blood
All Rh negative, weak D negative obstetric patients are candidates for _____
Rh immune globulin
It si a purified Anti D prepared from immunized donors and GIVEN TO D- NEGATIVE MOTHERS to prevent formation of anti-D
RhIg ( RhoGAM)
Lacks ALL Rh antigen on their RBCs
Rhnull syndrome
A mutation on RHAG gene and can pass through normal genes of children
Regulator type Rhnull syndrome
Mutation in each RHCE gene and the common deletion of RHD gene
Amorphic type Rhnull syndrome
Partial suppression of RH gene expression caused by mutations of RHAG gene
Rhmod phenotype
Differentiation of ABO and RH
Reaction phase of RH
37C at IAT PHASE
Antigen composition of Rh blood group
Nonglycosylated proteins
Antibody produce by injecting rehuses monkey rbc’s I to guinea pigs and rabbits, having the same specificity as the antibody Levine and Stetson decribed
Anti-LW
Reacts:
strongly - D- positive RBCs
Weakly - Rh neg RBCs
Never - Rhnull cells
Anti-LW
Most immunogenic Rh antigen.
D
Most immunogenic :D>c>E>C>e: least
Present of 85% of whites, and a higher percentage of blacks, American, indians and Asians.
D antigens
A nomenclature that based on postulated genetic mechanism of Rh antigen
Fisher race / DCE and Wiener /Rh-Hr
A nomenclature that describes the presence or absence of antigen
Rosenfield/ Alphanumeric terminology
