Subgroups, Secretors, and ABO discrepancies Flashcards
variation in the antigen that makes it difficult for the other subgroups
subgroups
Give the percentage and reaction of A antigen subgroups:
- A1
- 80%
- reacts wtih anti-A & anti-A1
- A2
- 20%
- reacts with anti-A
Give weaker A subgroups
- A3
- An
- Al
- Aint
- Ax
- Ay
- Az
Give B subgroups
- B1
- B2
- B3
- Bm
- Bw
- Bx
- Bell
Give AB subgroups
- A1B
- A2B
What are the quantitative basis to differentiate A1 & A2?
- antigen sites
- [α-3-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl]
- infrequent and rare
- use anti-B and anti-A1B to differentiate
B antigen subgroups
Variants of group B
- True B antigen
- acquired-like B antigen
- used to differentiate variants of group B
- agglutinates red cells of true B antigens
Anti-B1 lectin
Anti-B1 lectin soure
Bandeiraea simplicifolia
Removal of antibody in serum
absorption
Diffuses red cell to remove red cell antibodies from
solution
elution
Reacts with cells derived from serum of group B and subgroups of A
Anti-A
Agglutinate the red cells of subgroup A1
absorbed anti-A1
Agglutinate the red cells of Ao, Am, Ax besides from regular A and B
agglutinogens
Anti-AB
- Agglutinate the red cells of A1 and A1B
- Orange to yellow in color
Anti-A1 lectin
Agglutinate the red cells of O and subgroup of A2
Anti-H lectin
Give the source of the ff:
- anti-AB
- anti-A1 lectin
- anti-H lectin
- anti-AB: O serum
- anti-A1 lectin: Dolichos biflorus
- anti-H lectin: Ulex europaeus
A1 antigen foreign substance is introduced to patient if
transfused
1st transfusion
Second Transfusion
- forward typing
- A is?
- B is?
- backward typing
- A is?
- B is?
- forward typing
- A is (+)
- B is (-)
- backward typing
- A is (+) px’s serum has anti-A1
- B is (+) has anti-B
- neutralize antibody in the antisera
- ABH antigens are present in body fluids
secretors
Give 5 locations where secretors can be found
- saliva
- seminal fluid
- sweat
- breast milk
- ovarian cyst fluid
ABH antigens are present in all organs of the body
Histo Blood group Antigen
Responsible for expression of ABH antigens in body fluids
- 80% secretor
- 20% non-secretor
Secretor gene (FUT2)
Allows H gene to function in secretory cells
Secretor gene (FUT2)
What are the 3 genotypes (secretor & non-secretor)?
- SeSe (secretor)
- Sese (secretor)
- sese (non-secretor)
secretor of A & H substance
Sese, H, A
non-secretor
sese, H, A
non-secretor (no H gene)
*sese, hh
Give the secretions of the ff blood types:
- A
- B
- AB
- O
- A: A & H
- B: B & H
- AB: A, B & H
- O: H
