Molecular genetic basis of porcine histo-blood group AO system.
Histo-blood group A and B antigens are oligosaccharide antigens important in transfusion and transplantation medicine. The final steps in the synthesis of these antigens are catalyzed by glycosyltransferases encoded by the functional alleles at the ABO locus. Humans have 3 major alleles (A, B, and O), whereas pigs are known to have only A and O alleles. This paper reports the molecular genetic ...
متن کاملThe ABO Histo-Blood Group and AKI in Critically Ill Patients with Trauma or Sepsis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE ABO blood types are determined by antigen modifications on glycoproteins and glycolipids and associated with altered plasma levels of inflammatory and endothelial injury markers implicated in AKI pathogenesis. We sought to determine the association of ABO blood types with AKI risk in critically ill patients with trauma or sepsis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASU...
متن کاملThe effect of parental ABO blood group on fetal surveillance
Background Several factors may cause infertility and fetal loss. Blood groups antigens seem to be implied in the mechanisms of infertility and fetal loss. Maternal natural antibody can react against father’s blood group antigens on spermatozoa. The effects of parental blood group system on infertility and fetal surveillance perceived by its manifestation in prezygotic (caused infertility) and ...
متن کاملStructural diversity and biological importance of ABO, H, Lewis and secretor histo-blood group carbohydrates
ABO, H, secretor and Lewis histo-blood system genes control the expression of part of the carbohydrate repertoire present in areas of the body occupied by microorganisms. These carbohydrates, besides having great structural diversity, act as potential receptors for pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms influencing susceptibility and resistance to infection and illness. Despite the knowle...
متن کاملAn integrative evolution theory of histo-blood group ABO and related genes
The ABO system is one of the most important blood group systems in transfusion/transplantation medicine. However, the evolutionary significance of the ABO gene and its polymorphism remained unknown. We took an integrative approach to gain insights into the significance of the evolutionary process of ABO genes, including those related not only phylogenetically but also functionally. We experimen...
