Test 2 Flashcards
What are 3 antigens in the P group?
P1, P2, and Pk
What antigens do you have if you are a P1 phenotype?
All three P antigens
What antigens do you have if you are a P2 phenotype?

What antibodies are naturally occurring in Pnull people?
Anti-P1, Anti-P2, and Anti-Pk
Is Anti-P1 naturally occurring? And what kind of people can this antibody be found in?
Yes and P2 people
Is Anti-P1 IgG or IgM?
IgM (cold reacting)

Is anti-M IgM or IgG?
IgM (cold reacting)
Is Anti-M naturally occuring?
Yes
Does Anti-M bind complement?
No
Does Anti-M exhibit a dosage effect?
Yes
Is Anti-N IgM or IgG, naturally occuring, bind with complement, exhibit dosage effects?
IgM, and yes it is naturally occurring, binds with complement, and exhibits dosage effects.
Is Anti-S and Anti-s naturally occuring?
No, RBC stimulated through transfusion of pregnancy.
Is Anti-S and Anti-s IgM or IgG?
IgG (warm reacting 37 degrees)
Why is Anti-U clinically significant and what race is it seen in?
Associated with HDFN and HTR (Hemolytic Transfusions Reactions) and African Americans
How many antigens does the Kell system contain?
24
What is Ku or Total Kell?
Represents all Kell antigens collectively
What is Ko (Kell null)?

What is the clinical significance of a weakened D person who has donated blood?
The donor is considered positive for the D antigen.
What is the clinical significance of a weakened D person who is going to receive blood?
That person should receive D negative blood because they are considered weakly positive for D.
When is anti-human globulin used?
During IAT and DAT testing to detect antibodies in serum (IAT) or detect coating of RBCs with antibodies (DAT).
