UNCOMMON BLOOD GROUPS P1 Flashcards
Composed of 22 antigens: three sets of high and low pairs of antithetical
antigens- Dia/Dib, Wra/Wrb, and Wu/Disk – and 16 low-prevalence antigens.
The Diego (010) System
The Diego (010) System was named after the first antibody maker in a __________ during an investigation of _____
Venezuelan family ; HDFN.
The Diego antigens are carried on _______ (RBC anion exchanger (AE1) or solute carrier family-4 anion exchanger, member 1 (SLC4A1)), a major integral RBC membrane glycoprotein with about 1 million copies per RBC.
band 3
The protein crosses the membrane multiple times, and both the amino- and carboxyl-terminal domains are in the cytoplasm.
The Diego (010) System
A large N-glycan on the fourth external loop carries over half the RBC A,
B, H, and I blood group Antigens.
The Diego (010) System
The Diego (010) System Reported in 1955, ______ had caused HDFN in a Venezuelan baby.
- ______ was described 2 years later.
anti-Dia ; Anti-Dib
______ is rare in most populations but is polymorphic in people of Mongoloid ancestry.
Dia
In South American Indians, the prevalence of Dia can be as high as _____
54%
____ is also present in the North and Central American native populations but is surprisingly rare in Canada and among the Alaskan Inuit.
Dia
The prevalence of Dib is generally greater than 99% but is ____ in Native Americans.
96%
The Dia/Dib polymorphism is located on the last (seventh) __________ of the protein.
extracellular loop
___, a low-prevalence antigen, and the antithetical, high-prevalence ____ are
associated with an amino acid substitution on the fourth external loop.
Wra ; Wrb
Expression of Wrb requires the interaction of band and normal GPA of the MNS blood group system. GPA-deficient RBCs are ______
Wr(a-b-).
_________ are expressed on RBCs of newborns.
Diego Antigens
the antigens are resistent to treatment with ficin and papain, DTT, and glycine-
acid EDTA, with exception of Bpa, which is sensitive to papain.
DIEGO ANTIGENS
Diego system antibodies are sometimes ____, but are usually ____, reactive in the antiglobulin phase of testing.
IgM ; IgG
Anti-Dia and Anti-Dib = Hemolytic Transfusion Reactions and HDFN
YES
_______ is a relatively common antibody in donors and patients; some are directly agglutinating, but most require the antiglobulin phase of testing to be detected.
anti-Wra
anti-Wra =
severe HTRs
________ in individuals with Wr(a-b-) RBCs have been described,
so information about clinical significance is insufficient.
Alloanti-Wrb
Autoanti-Wrb is relatively common in the serum of patients with ________
warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Which was named in 1956 for the first antibody maker and used the
last letter “t” in the patient’s last name, which was Cartwright.
The Yt (011) System
____ is the high-prevalence antigen in all populations;
Yta
_____ is the low-prevalence antigen found in about 8% of whites and 21% to 26% of Israelis, but is not found in Japanese.
Ytb
Three phenotypes are observed in Yt System
The common Yt(a+b-) and Yt(a+b+) and the rare Yt(a-b+).
The Yt antigens are ______ and present an amino acid substitution on the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)- linked RBC glycoprotein acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
antithetical
______ is an important enzyme participating in neurotransmission, but the function of RBC-
bound AChE is not known. Chromosome 7
AChE
Yt antigens are variably sensitive to _____ and _____, are sensititive to ____,
and are resistant to ________ treatment.
ficin and papain ; DTT ; glycine-acid EDTA
the antigens are developed at birth but are expressed weaker on cord RBCs
than on adult RBCs and are absent from RBCs of people with _________________
paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) III.
Anti-Yta and Anti-Ytb are ____ and are stimulated by _______ or ________
IgG ; pregnancy or transfusion.
_______ is not an uncommon antibody, so it appears that Yta is reasonably
immunogenic.
Anti-Yta
____ appears to be a poor immunogen, as the antibody is rare.
Ytb
Yt antibodies have not caused ______
HDFN
______________ may be helpful in determining clinical significance
of anti-Yta.
Monocyte phagocytosis (MMA)
_____ was discovered in 1962 in the serum of a multiply transfused man.
anti-Xga
the antibody detected an antigen with a higher prevalence in females than in
males.
The Xg(012) System
antigen Xga expression was controlled by an _______
X-linked gene
was named after the ______ and g for “_______” where the
patient was treated.
X chromosome ; Grand Rapids
there are two antigens in Xg system: _____ and _____
Xga and CD99.
the gene XG encoding Xga is located on the X chromosome at _______
Xp22.32
the gene responsible CD99, MIC2, is located on the X chromosome at ______ and on the Y chromosome ______
Xp22.2 ; Yp11
