Postulated that the antigens from the system were produced by 3 closely linked sets of alleles. Each gene was responsible for producing a product (Ag) on the red cell surface.

Q

Tippett correctly proposed two Rh genes which are the:

Located in what chromosomes?

A

RHD AND RHCE

Chromosomes 1

19
Q

This codes for the presence or absences of RHD proteins

A

RHD

20
Q

Codes for either RhCe, Rhce, RhcE, RhCE proteins

A

RHCE

21
Q

How many exons does RHD AND RHCE genes have

A

10 exons

22
Q

RHAG resides in what chromosomes

A

Chromosomes 6

Q

present for successful expression of the Rh antigens.

A

Coexpressor

Q

A position effect or gene interaction effect

A

C Trans

27
Q

location of two or more genes on the same chromosome of a homologous pair.

A

Cis

28
Q

Happens when one or more parts of the D antigen are missing.

A

D mosaic (Partial D)

29
Q

Who Postulated that the complete D (RH0) antigen has four parts: RhA, RhB, RhC, RhD

A

Wiener and Unger

30
Q

The weakest D variant

A

Rh del

31
Q

red blood cells possess an extremely low number of D antigen sites that most reagent anti-D are unable to detect. They often appear as Rh-.

A

Flow cytometry

33
Q

Written as —/—

Q

Weakened expression of all Rh antigen

A

Rhmod

35
Q

this phenotype in written
format, parentheses are used as in (D), (C), and (e) to indicate the weakened expression of the given antigen.

A

Rhmod

36
Q

This reagent is used To confirm that washing has been adequate
and the antiglobulin reagent is reactive.

A

Coomb’s cells

37
Q

A group O Rh positive donor’s sample is mixed with 1:10 dilution of reagent anti-D and allowed to incubate.

A

Control cell
