MIDTERM MAJOR BLOOD GROUP Flashcards
(127 cards)
It is a unique blood group system because its antigens are not intrinsic to RBCs
Lewis blood group system
ISBT number of Lewis blood group system
007
Specific location of Lewis gene
Chromosome 19p13.3
Secretor gene location
19q13.3
2 major antigens of Lewis system
Lea and Leb
Lewis phenotype of an ABH nonsecretor
Le(a+b–)
Lewis phenotype of an ABH secretor
Le(a–b+)
Lewis RBC phenotype that are either secretors or nonsecretors
Le(a–b–)
Lewis phenotype that rare in whites and africans but are more common in asians
Le(a+b+)
Lewis antigens are found on
Lymphocytes, platelets, pancreas, stomach, intestine, skeletal muscle, renal cortex, and adrenal glands (Main: Intestinal tract epithelial cells)
Lewis Antigens are found on the secretions as
glycoprotein (Leb)
Lewis antigens are found on the plasma as
glycolipids (Lea)
True or False: Lewis antigens are resistant to treatment with enzymes
True
Lewis antibodies are what class of antibodies
IgM
Lewis phenotype of pregnant women
Le(a–b–)
Lewis antibodies (can bind/cannot bind) complements
CAN BIND
most commonly encountered antibodies of Lewis
Lea
Anti-lea is often detected at what temperature
room temp (but sometimes react @37C in IAT)
2 categories of Anti-Leb
- Anti- LebH
- Anti - LebL
reacts best when both the Leb and the H antigens are present on the RBC, such as group O and A2 cells
Anti-LebH
recognizes any Leb antigen regardless of the ABO type
Anti-LebL
