What antibody is good at agglutination?
IgM is better than IgG
What antibody is better at hemolyzing red cells?
IgM is better than IgG
Something that only reacts on immediate spin?
Cold antibody
What does a negative gel test look like?
Cells in a button t the bottom of the microtube
What does a positive gel test look like?
Cells spread in varying degrees through the microtube
What does a negative solid phase test look like?
Cells in a button at the bottom of the microplate, because the indicator cells don't bind to the test RBC's on the microplate wall
What does a positive solid phase test look like?
Have cells spread in a carpet all along the microplate wall
Indirect antiglobulin test?
Uncoated red cells + antibody + AHG
Direct antiglobulin test?
Washed patient red cells + AHG
What neutralizes ABO?
Saliva (secretor)
What neutralizes Lewis?
Saliva (secretor for Lewis B)
What neutralies P1
Hydatid cyst fluid, Pigeon egg fluid
What neutralizes Sd?
Urine
What neutralizes Chido, Rogers
Serum
Facts about warm reactive antibodies (5)
IgG
Require Exposure
Cause HDN
Cause HTRs
Significant
Facts about cold reactive antibodies (5)
IgM
Naturally occuring
No HDN
No HTRs
Insignificant

ABO IS THE HUGE EXCEPTION
Type 1 ABO chains?
Glycoproteins
Type 2 ABO Chains?
Glycosphingolipids
What gene allows a person to make A or B antigens in their saliva?
Secretor gene (chr 19)
The Se gene codes for what enzyme?
fucosyltransferase (FUT2)
Action of FUT2 on type 1 chains?
Adds fucose to terminal galactose, H antigen on type I chains
What does the H gene do?
It's product adds fucose to terminal galactose of type II chains, which is the type II H Antigen
Enzyme enhanced?
ABO, Rh, KIdd
Enzyme decreased?
MNS, Duffy
Enzyme unaffected?
Kell
Where are type I chains found?
In secretions
Where are type II chains found?
Bound to cells
What is the group A sugar added to the H antigen?
N-acetylgalactosamine
What is the group B sugar added to the H antigen?
Galactose
What are the relative amounts of H by blood group?
O > A2 > B > A1 > A1B
What agglutinates cells with abundant H antigen?
Lectin of Ulex europaeus
What lectin agglutinates A1?
Dolichos biflorus
What lectin has specificity for the N blood group?
Vicea graminea
What is the difference between A1 and A2 blood groups?
A1 has 4 times more A antigen
Small % of A2 form anti-A1
The antibodies in blood group O individuals are different how?
Predominately IgG, not IgM like other groups.
IgG can cross the placenta, HDN in group O moms.
Most common cause of HDN?
ABO.. not Rh
When is acquired B phenotype seen?
In contact with enteric gram negatives: colon cancer, intestinal obstruction, gram negative sepsis
How does forward grouping and reverse grouping look like with acquired B phenotype?
Forward: Anti-A 4+, Anti B 1-2+
Reverse: A1 cells - 0, B cells 4+

They are true blood group A
Pathophysiology of acquired B?
Bacteria deacetylate GalNac exposing galactosamine, which cross reacts with reagent anti-B
Lewis acts on what chains?
Type I chains
How is Lewis A made?
Adds fucose to subterminal GlcNAc
How is Lewis B made?
The SE gene and Lewis gene compete. Secretor gene adds fucose, making H, and lewis gene adds its fucose.
If your type I chain is acted by on by the lewis gene before the Se gene, what do you get?
Lewis A, no H
If your type I chain is acted on by the lewis gene AFTER the se gene, what do you get?
Lewis B and H antigen
Patients who are Se and Le type what for lewis A and B?
Lewis a-b+ because the secretor gene is much better at adding its fucose
Do lewis a- b+ patients make anti-lewis A
No! they still have a small amount, they have the gene to make lewis A but are also secretors and make H first---lewis B
Only people to make anti-lewis antibodies?
a-b- patients
Pregnancy has what effect on Lewis?
Patients may become a-b- and have transient insignificant lewis antibodies
What is the relationship of H. pylori to the lewis blood group?
It may attach via the Lewis b antigen
Auto-Anti-I association?
Mycoplasma, cold agglutinin disease
Auto-Anti-i association
EBV
What is the parvovirus B19 receptor?
the P antigen
Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria is associated with what blood group?
Biphasic IgG with anti-P specificity
Classically associated with viral infections in children and syphilis
(Donath Landsteiner biphasic hemolysin)
Bind cold, hemolyse warm

Frequency of Rh in whites and blacks?
Whites: R1>r>R2>R0
Blacks: R0>r>R1>R2
Weak D testing requirements?
All D negative blood donors
Not required for D negative recipients
Anti D in a D-positive person?
Partial D
Only patients who definitely need weak D testing?
D-negative babies with D-negative moms (apparent)
Fact: Roughly 80% of people will make an anti-D after 1 unit
Just a fact to know.
Red cells that are really D positive that don't agglutinate?
Weak D
Which is more common Jka or b?
A is slightly more common
