Rh group (History to terminology) Flashcards
ISBT number 004
Rh blood group
Convert the following genotypes from Wiener nomenclature to Fisher-Race and Rosenfield nomenclatures, and list the antigens present in each haplotype.
a. R1r
b. R2R0
c. RzR1
d. rr
R1r
DCe/dce
Rh:1, 2, -3, 4, 5
R2R0
DcE/Dce
Rh:1, -2, 3, 4, 5
RzR1
DCE/DCe
Rh:1,2,3, -4,5
ryr
dCE/dce
RH: -1,2,3,4,5
What theory in 1940s, said that each person inherits a set of Rh genes from each parent (one D or d, one C or c, one E or e), because Rh genes are thought to be CODOMINANT
Fisher-Race
Rh-hr terminology: presence of CE (with D)
Z
When was Rh phenotype was reported in order of DCE
1946
How are Rh antigens inherited?
Codominant alleles
Introduced a new terminologies for Rh group in 1962
Richard Rosenfield and Co workers
“C” gene frequency for RH antigens in Caucasians
70%
Rh was named from
Rhesus Monkey
antigen is most potent, found in 85% of the white population and is always significant for transfusion purposes
D antigen
This case is where Dr. Levine found that over 90% is rh neg mother and rh positive father.
Erythroblastosis fetalis
“e” gene frequency for RH antigens in Caucasians
98%
Interpret this using “Alphanumeric Terminology
1,2,-3,5
Presence of D, C, e but absence of c
Created to more accurately represent the serological daya and to be more compatible with computer use
Alphanumeric Terminology
This terminology may be considered the phenotypic expression of the haplotype
Rh-hr terminology
It represents the presence of a single haplotype expressing three different factors
agglutinogen
Termsed for Anti-rhesus produced by animals
Anti-LW
Most commonly use terminology for Rh grouping
Fisher-Race or DCE term
Reported an antibody made by guinea pigs and rabbits when transfused with Rhesus monkey
Dr. Landsteiner and Dr. Alexander S. Wiener
