ABO Flashcards
(72 cards)
Reacts with anti-A1, anti- A
A1 subgroup
Anti-A only
A2 subgroup
Mixed field reaction with anti - A and anti- AB
A3 subgroup
Reacts with anti- AB and No reaction with anti- A
Ax subgroup
Mixed field agglutination with anti A and anti AB with only few (<10% of cells )
A end subgroup
Weak or No reaction with anti-A and anti-AB
Am subgroup
No reaction with anti-A and anti-AB, germline mutation of an A gene
Ay subgroup
No reaction with anti-A and anti-AB
Ael subgroup
Method used to confirm Am, Ay, and Ael
Adsorption and Elution
- An ABO type on a patient gives the following reactions:
Patient Cells With
Anti-A (4+)
Anti-B (4+)
Patient Serum With
A1 cells (neg)
B cells (neg)
What is the patient’s blood type?
a. O
b. A
c. B
d. AB
D
The major immunoglobulin class(es) of anti-B in a group
A individual is (are):
a. IgM.
b. IgG.
c. IgM and IgG.
d. IgM and IgA.
A
What are the possible ABO phenotypes of the offspring
from the mating of a group A to a group B individual?
a. O, A, B
b. A, B
c. A, B, AB
d. O, A, B, AB
D
The immunodominant sugar responsible for blood group
A specificity is:
a. L-fucose.
b. N-acetyl-D-galactosamine.
c. D-galactose.
d. Uridine diphosphate-N-acetyl-D-galactose.
B
What ABH substance(s) would be found in the saliva of
a group B secretor?
a. H
b. H and A
c. H and B
d. H, A, and B
C
An ABO type on a patient gives the following reactions:
Patient cells with:
Anti-A: 4+
Anti-B: 4+
Patient serum with
Anti-A1: neg
A1 cells: 4+
Anti-B: neg
The reactions above may be seen in a patient who is:
a. A1 with acquired B.
b. A2B with anti-A1.
c. AB with increased concentrations of protein in the
serum.
d. AB with an autoantibody.
B
Which of the following ABO blood groups contains the
least amount of H substance?
a. A1B
b. A2
c. B
d. O
A
You are working on a specimen in the laboratory that
you believe to be a Bombay phenotype. Which of the fol-
lowing reactions would you expect to see?
a. Patient’s cells + Ulex europaeus = no agglutination
b. Patient’s cells + Ulex europaeus = agglutination
c. Patient’s serum + group O donor RBCs = no
agglutination
d. Patient’s serum + A1 and B cells = no agglutination
A
An example of a technical error that can result in an
ABO discrepancy is:
a. Acquired B phenomenon.
b. Missing isoagglutinins.
c. Cell suspension that is too heavy.
d. Acriflavine antibodies.
C
An ABO type on a patient gives the following reactions:
Patient cells with:
Anti-A: 4+
Anti-B: neg
Patient serum with
A1 cells: 2+
B cells: 4+
O cells: 2+
Autocontrol: Neg
These results are most likely due to:
a. ABO alloantibody.
b. Non-ABO alloantibody.
c. Rouleaux.
d. Cold autoantibody.
B
Reacts with anti-B and anti-AB
B subgroup
MF reaction with anti-B and anti-AB
B3 subgroup
Weak reaction with anti-B and anti-AB
Bx subgroup
No or weak reaction with anti-B and anti-AB, converted to B if incubated with URACIL DIPHOSPHATE
Bel subgroup
Bombay phenotype was first reported by __________ in 1952 in ___________
Dr. Y.M. Bhende; Mumbai, India
