Long term storage of info in form of a chromosome
39
What type of phenotype will only be expressed when both alleles donated are the same (homozygous)?
Recessive
40
Reciprocal relationship between antigens in this class found on RBCs of infants vs. adults
I/I System
41
4 nomenclature systems. Most common are Weiner and Fisher and Race. Second in importance to ABO System
Rhesus System
42
Over 40 antigens. The U antigen is present on >99 of red cells
MNS System
43
Fya and Fyb
Duffy System
44
Single most important system in transfusion practice. Only system in which antibodies are predictably present in the sera of people who haven’t been exposed to foreign antigens from human RBCs
ABO System
45
Traditionally consisted of 4 antigens. Reacts optimally at 4 degrees Celsius but occasionally detected at 37 degrees Celsius. Almost always IgM
P System
46
Abs are rarely encountered but when they are, anti- Jka & anti- Jkb are the most common. Notorious for severe delayed HTR !
Kidd System
47
Not inherited as a result of two related alleles(antithetical) like other antigens but as a result between secretor alleles.
Lewis System
48
More that 20 antigens . K allele responsible for K antigen . found on approx. 9% of Caucasians and 2% African Americans. The k allele responsible for k antigen on 99% of populations red cells
Kell System
49
What antigen doe the Bombay blood type lack , that the other ABO blood types have ? What antibodies are produced?
H- antigen & produces Anti- A, Anti- B, Anti- AB and Anti-H

Why are I/i antigens/antibodies of concern in blood bank in relation to their incidence?
Anti-I is uncommon
