Weak D- Deficiency Flashcards
About 1% of D-positive individuals type as
Weak D
former name of weak D antigen
Du
Is weak D a new antigen? Yes or No
No, not a new antigen because people did not produce anti-Du but anti-D
Red Cells fails to react or reacts weakly to agglutination tests (but will react in IAT)
Weak D (Quantitative)
Cells carrying a weak D antigen require the use of what test to demonstrate its presence?
Indirect antiglobulin test
Rh antigen on RBC is normal, but the steric arrangement of the C antigen in relationship to the D antigen appears to interfere with the expression of D antigen
C-trans RHD
From the inheritance of RHD genes that code for weakened expression of the D antige
Weak D (Quantitative
The changes does not alter or remove any D epitopes therefore production of anti-Rh is not possible
Weak D (Quantitative)
Weak D expression that is common in black
Weak D (quanti)
antibody production in this type of expression is less likely
Weak D
People with this blood type can receive D positive RBCs
C trans in RHD
One or more D epitopes within the entire D protein is missing or altered
Partial D
individuals who were type D-positive express this antigen but produced an anti-D that reacted with all D-positive samples except their own
Partial D
In partial D, If an individual lacks one or more pieces(epitopes), of the total D antigen, what can be made to the missing epitopes if exposed to RBCs that possess the complete D antigen.
alloantibody
classified the antigens
Patricia Tippett and Ruth Sanger
Tested anti-D sera from D-positive people with RBCs from other D-positive people who also made anti-D

Number of categories Patricia Tippett and Ruth Sanger assigned for antigen
7
Antibody that Patricia Tippett and Ruth Sanger used to classify antigen
monoclonal(MAb-D)antibodies
