136 Erythrocyte Antigens and Antibodies Flashcards
Most of the protein blood group antigens are carried on
Integral transmembrane proteins (either single-pass type I or type II, or multipass)
** A few are carried on glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins or adsorbed from plasma
Chromosome Location of ABO Blood Group
9q34.2
Blood Group System: Decreased Plasmodium falciparum invasion, may be receptor for Escherichia coli
MNS
Blood Group System: Possibly transports
CO2 or NH3 (CD240)
Rh
Blood Group System: Increased expression possibly involved in vasoocclusion in sickle cell disease
Lutheran
Blood Group System: Cleaves big
endothelin-3 to ET-3, a potent vasoconstrictor
(CD238)
Kell
Blood Group System: Increased expression in fucosidosis, antibodies may be
important in graft rejection
Lewis
Blood Group System: Resistance to P vivax invasion
Duffy
Blood Group System: Urea transporter; Impaired urea transport, urine-concentrating defect
Kidd
Blood Group System: Anion exchanger
(CD233), Band 3 cytoskeletal protein; Southeast Asian ovalocytosis, hereditary spherocytosis, renal tubular acidosis
Diego
Blood Group System: Absent from PNH III RBCs
Yt
Dombrock
Blood Group System:Monosomy 7, inability to
maximally concentrate urine, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia
Colton
Blood Group System: Renal disease, associated with pretibial epidermolysis bullosa and sensorineural deafness
Raph
Blood Group System: Acanthocytosis, muscular dystrophy, hemolytic anemia; McLeod syndrome sometimes associated with CGD, peripheral neuropathy, cardiomyopathy seizures, a late-onset dementia, and behavioral changes
Kx
Blood Group System: Hereditary elliptocytosis, hemolytic anemia, decreased
4.1R and p55
Gerbich
Blood Group System: Absent from PNH III RBCs, Dra is the receptor for uropathogenic
E coli
Cromer
***John Milton Hagen, CD59 (also absent from PNH III RBCs)
Blood Group System: Congenital cataracts in Asians
I
Blood Group System: Receptor E coli and parvovirus B19
GLOB
Blood Group System: Hemolytic anemia, hereditary stomatocytosis
Rh-associated glycoprotein
Blood Group System: Multiple small calcifications around the joints in the hand
and ectopic calcification or mineralization in hips, feet, pubic symphysis, and lumbar discs
Augustine
Blood Group System: Expressed on Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein in urine that prevents
adherence of pathogenic bacteria to urothelial cells
Sid
Blood Group System: Deafness, choline deficiency disease
CTL2
As of this writing, ____ blood group systems and _____ antigen collections are defined
39 blood group systems
5 antigen collections
Most significant antigens in transfusion and
transplantation
ABO
Most significant antigen after A and B
D
Important cause of DHTR
Kidd
TRUE OR FALSE
Group A or B erythrocytes appear to have less H antigen than group O cells
TRUE
Group A or B erythrocytes appear to have less H antigen than group O cells
The sugars defining A and B antigens are added to carbohydrate chains carrying the H antigen (fucose), which is “hidden” by the A (GalNAc) or B (Gal) sugar.
TRUE OR FALSE
Because A and B antigens also are exclusively expressed on RBCs, ABO compatibility has no role in solid-organ transplantation.
FALSE
Because A and B antigens also are expressed on most tissue cells, ABO compatibility is a significant consideration in solid-organ transplantation.
ABO incompatibility only rarely causes severe HDFN because antibodies directed against A and B antigens are predominantly immunoglobulin (Ig) ______, which do not cross the placenta
Immunoglobulin (Ig) M
The second most important blood group system in transfusion medicine because antigen-positive RBCs frequently immunize antigen-negative individuals through transfusion and pregnancy.
Rh system
Inheritance of Rh antigens is determined by a complex of two closely linked genes:
protein-carrying D antigen (RhD)
protein carrying C or c and E or e antigens (RhCE)
In the Rh system, _______ common antigen combinations or haplotypes are possible
Eight
