MIDTERM LEC: Other Major Blood Group System Flashcards
(198 cards)
Both antigens are expressed
CODOMINANT
Most blood group alleles are codominant and express a corresponding antigen
CODOMINANT
“Silent alleles”
AMORPHIC
alleles exist that make no antigen, but they are rare
AMORPHIC
When paired chromosomes carry the same silent allele, it results to a null phenotype
AMORPHIC
Cannot be expressed
AMORPHIC
Only determines the phenotype only
SEROLOGIC TESTING
actual gene of an individual; the genetic makeup
Genotype
ISBT #007
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
MAJOR BLOOD GROUPS:
● LEWIS
● KELL
● KIDD
● DUFFY
● LUTHERAN
Not intrinsic to Red Blood Cell
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
Not intrinsic to Red Blood Cell meaning?
Antigens are not produced by RBCs, it is being adsorb into the RBCs
Manufactured by tissue cells and secreted into body fluids (adsorbed into RBCs)
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
Le GENE Located at:
Chromosome 19p13.3
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
Se GENE Located at:
Chromosome 19q
Production depends not only on the inheritance of Le genes but also on the inheritance of Se gene

LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
2 Major Antigens:
Lea and Leb
Expression of these antigens would have an effect on the presence of the gene that will encode for the enzyme for a certain carbohydrate to attach
Lea and Leb
Lewis antigen
Lea
*
Se antigen
Leb
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
Antigens secreted and absorbed onto: [RLP]
○ RBC
○ Lymphocytes
○ Platelet membrane from plasma
Somewhat related to the ABO blood group because of the sugars attached on the RBC membrane
LEWIS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM
Codes for fucosyltransferase-3 (FUT3) so that fucose molecules will attach to the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNac) = Lea
Le GENE
Has genes that will produce the enzymes and therefore producing a
specific sugars
