ANTIGENS FOF ABO BLOOD GROUP
● 3 antigens: A,B,H
ABO Develops at
37th day of fetal life
IS ABO IGG OR IGM
IGM
ABO antibodies can cause rapid ____
hemolysis if the wrong ABO group is
transfused
ABO antibodies can cause rapid intravascular
hemolysis if the wrong ABO group is
transfused
determines if ABO blood group is
secreted or not
SE GENE
- Adds fucose to
terminal galactosE
Glucosyltransferase
chromo0sme of abo gene
chromosome 9
, as no
detectable antigen is produced in response to
the inheritance of this gene
amorph, o gene
PRECURSOR OF ABH IS
paragloboside or glycan
The FUT 1 (H) and FUT 2 (Se) genes are
closely linked and located on
chromosome
19,
Precursor structure on which A and B
antigens are made (by adding sugars)
H- gene
Needs production of alpha 2
l-fucosyltransferase that will transfer fucose
into terminal galactose of the precursor
substance
h
amount of h antigen in order
: O, A2, B, A1
Type 2 chains
(β1 → 4 linkage) →
Found on RBCs → Forms ABO
antigens
Type 1 chains
(β1 → 3 linkage) →
Found in secretions → Forms soluble
ABO antigens.
Their presence is dependent on the ABO
genes inherited and on the inheritance of
another set of genes called Sese (secretor
genes) that regulate their formation
SOLUBLE ABH ANTIGENS
SeSe or Sese =
Secretor → Can produce
soluble A, B, or H antigens in secretions.
= Non-secretor → No H antigen or ABH
substances in secretions
sese
Although several types of oligosaccharide
chains exist, types _____are primarily
associated with body secretions, while types
________are associated with the red blood cell
membrane.
Although several types of oligosaccharide
chains exist, types 1 and 3 are primarily
associated with body secretions, while types
2 and 4 are associated with the red blood cell
membrane.
blood group O inherit at least
one FUT 1(H)
gene (genotype HH or Hh) and two O genes
differntiates a1 and a2
dolichos biflorus
IT DOES NOT REACT TO A2
Group A RBCs that react with both anti-A and
anti-A1
A1
characterized by a single base substitution at
nucleotide 467 and a single base deletion at
nucleotide 1060 (1060delC) in exon 7
A2
those that react with anti-A and not anti-A1
A2
