Quantitative Serologic anti Isotopic Studies on the Rh 0 Variant

چکیده
S ALINE AGGLUTINATION REACTIONS of variable strength among Rh positive bloods were reported soon after the discovery of the Rh factor.”2 Wieners suggested that these D variant types were determined by special “intermediate” Rh genes and Stratton2 postulated that this weak D antigen was elaborated by a new allele, D’, at the D-d locus. The only blood types which could he classified as DL variants, prior to the development of the antiglobulin test, were those that showed weak to negative reactions with a substantial number of saline anti-D agglutinating sera. With the development of the antiglobulin technic, D” varieties were recognized, which failed to agglutinate in all saline serums hut which would do so when tested with an incomplete antiserum by the antiglobulin technic.4’5 These second varieties of Du were termed “low grade” in contrast to the first or “high grade” ‘arieties#{176} Renton and Hancock7’M’#{176} showed that less incomplete anti-D is needed to inhibit the saline agglutination of D” cells as compared with conventional D positive cells. They attribtmted this phenomenon to a decreased “strength” of the surface antigen. It appears that the context in which they used “strength”

متن کاملSTUDIES ON BLOOD FACTORS RhA, RhB, AND RhC
Observations are described of the incidence among Caucasians and Negroes of the blood factors Rh(A), Rh(B) and Rh(C) which occur associated with the Rh(0) factor in typical Rh-positive blood. The antiserums used for the tests were derived from Rh-positive patients who had had hemolytic transfusion reactions or erythroblastotic babies. Among a large series of individuals, it was found that only ...
متن کاملWhole-exome sequencing for RH genotyping and alloimmunization risk in children with sickle cell anemia.
RH genes are highly polymorphic and encode the most complex of the 35 human blood group systems. This genetic diversity contributes to Rh alloimmunization in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and is not avoided by serologic Rh-matched red cell transfusions. Standard serologic testing does not distinguish variant Rh antigens. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based DNA arrays detect many...
متن کاملRH genotyping in a sickle cell disease patient contributing to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donor selection and management.
African individuals harbor molecular RH variants, which permit alloantibody formation to high-prevalence Rh antigens after transfusions. Genotyping identifies such RH variants, which are often missed by serologic blood group typing. Comprehensive molecular blood group analysis using 3 genotyping platforms, nucleotide sequencing, and serologic evaluation was performed on a 7-year-old African mal...
