Q
  • the third most potent immunogenic antigen after ABO and Rh system, and are defined by an immune antibody, anti-K.
  • It was first noticed in the serum of Mrs. Kellacher. She reacted to the erythrocytes of her newborn infant resulting in hemolytic reactions. Since then 25 Kell antigens have been discovered.

Q

= first isolated in a patient called Duffy who had haemophilia.
= also known as Fy glycoprotein and is present in the surface of RBCs.
= It is a nonspecific receptor for several chemokines and acts as a receptor for human malarial parasite, Plamodium vivax.

A

Duffy system

17
Q

antibodies on the Duffy glycoprotein can result in four possible phenotypes, namely Fy(a+b-—), Fy(a+b+), Fy(a—b+), and Fy(a—b-). The antibodies are IgG subtypes and can cause HTR.

A

Antigens Fya and Fyb

18
Q
  • known as Jk antigen, it is a glycoprotein, present on the membrane of RBCs and acts as a urea transporter in RBCs and renal endothelial cells.
  • Kidd antibodies are rare but can Cause severe transfusion reactions.
  • These antigens are defined by reactions to an antibody designated as anti-Jk?, discovered in the serum of Mrs. Kidd who delivered a baby with HDFN.
  • Jk was the first antigen to be discovered by Kidd blood group system, subsequently, two other antigens Jk® and Jk3 were found.
A

Kidd system

19
Q

In minor blood groups, the most commonly appearing phenotypes were ___ for Lewis, ___ for Duffy, ___ for Kidd, and ___ for MNS system.

A
  • Le (a—b-)
  • Fy(a+b+)
  • Jk(a+b+)
  • M+N+
