ABO and H Blood group systems

Single most important blood group for selection and transfusion of blood

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


A1 red cells

agglutinates with the lectin Dolichos biflorus

Type 2 chain oligosaccharide

ABO antigen are usually expressed on

chromosome 9q34


A and B glycosyltransferases

ABO gene locus is located on _____________________and encodes the _________________

ABO Antibodies

- most important antibodies in transfusion medicine-

3–6 months of age

ABO antibodies weak or absent in the sera of New Borns until?

5–10 y/0

Adult levels of ABO antibodies are reached by

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

MNS BLOOD GROUP SYSTEM

- 2nd blood group system identified after ABO


> 46 antigens

Mns blood grouo consists of

RBCs

MNS blood grouo system expresed only on

U-, Mk, En(a-)

3 major types of MNS BGS

U-

Most common type of mns bgs exclussively in blacks

Henshaw phenotype


En(a-) phenotype


MkMk phenotype

Null phenotypes of MNS BGS

Henshaw phenotype

- Recombinant glycophorin B

Henshaw phenotype

can react weakly with some examples of human anti-U known as “U variants (S−s−Uvar)”


En (a−) phenotype

result of recombination bet glycophorin A and B genes

Lepore-type A-B hybrid (exons A1-B2-B5)

En (a−) phenotype is a result of recombination bet glycophorin A and B genes to form a

MkMk phenotype

- lacks all MNSs antigens, including En(a)

Anti-M and –N

- naturally occurring ( IgM isotype)-

Anti-M and –N

detected at RT saline agglutinins


anti-M

: commonly encountered antibody in the blood bank


Anti-M and –N

-clinically insignificant antibodies and only rarely cause hemolytic transfusion reactions or HDF

Anti-S, -s, and -U

- always clinically significant


Anti-S, -s, and -U

- antibodies of IgG isotype


Anti-S, -s, and -U

- reactive at 37° C

Anti-S, -s, and -U

-reactivity of anti-U is resistant to proteolytic digestion


Anti-S, -s, and -U

- Causes of hemolytic transfusion reactions and HDFN

Anti-m and anti-n


Anti-S, -s, -U

Mns BGS
