|
ABO and H Blood group systems |
Found on many tissues, body fluids, RBCs, platelets, endothelial cells |
|
ABO and H Blood group systems |
Major consideration in solid organ and bone marrow transplantation |
|
H antigen |
biosynthetic precursor of both A and B antigen
|
|
A1 and A2 |
- most common ABO subtypes encountered in the blood bank

- most important antibodies in transfusion medicine- |
|
3–6 months of age |
ABO antibodies weak or absent in the sera of New Borns until? |

|
Bombay phenotypes and para-bombay |
2 rare null phenotypes of abo and H blood group system |
|
Bombay phenotype(Oh) |
Neither AB nor H antigens are present on RBCs or in secretions |
|
Para-Bombay |
Few or no ABH antigens on RBCs with or without normal expression of ABH antigens in secretions and body fluids |
|
Anti-A1 |
naturally occurring antibody found in the sera of some A2, A2B, and other weak A subtypes |
|
Anti-A1 |
hemagglutinates A1 RBCs, but not A2 and other weak A phenotypes |
|
Anti-A1 |
implicated in transfusion reactions and solid organ rejection |

|
|
En (a−) phenotype |
result of recombination bet glycophorin A and B genes |
