Blood Group Compatibility BLOOD GROUP COMPATIBILITY Blood grouping identifies the ABO and Rh type of a recipient or donor. This grouping ensures that the patient receives compatible blood products. The ABO Blood Group System The ABO blood group is determined by the A or B antigen attached to the membrane of the red blood cell. Group A persons inherit the A antigen and make anti-B antibodies which destroy cells carrying B antigens. Group B persons inherit the B antigen and make anti-A antibodies which destroy cells carrying A antigens. Group AB persons inherit the A and B antigen and do not make either A or B “antibodies”. Group O persons do not inherit the A or B antigen and make “antibodies” which destroy cells carrying A or B antigens. Antibodies against A and B antigens are produced spontaneously in the plasma within the first few months of life. Blood Group Antigen on Red Cell Antibodies in Plasma A A antigen Anti-B B B antigen Anti-A AB both A & B antigens neither Anti-A or Anti-B O neither A & B antigens Anti-A and Anti-B Rhesus (Rh) Blood Group System The Rh type is determined by the presence or absence of the Rh “D” antigen on the red cells. • Rh positive – D antigen is present • Rh negative – D antigen is absent Unlike the ABO system, there are no naturally occurring Rh antibodies. Anti-D is produced when an Rh negative individual is exposed to Rh positive red cells (e.g. through transfusion or pregnancy). Rh antigens are carried on red cells only. Rh compatibility criteria apply only to products containing red cells (whole blood, packed red cells and platelets). TR 03.01 Transfusion Manual Page 1 of 2 BLOOD GROUP COMPATIBILITY Selection of Blood Components Ideally, transfusion of blood components of the patient’s own blood group is always best. If the specific blood group is not available, hemolytic transfusion reactions can be avoided by transfusing blood components which are ABO compatible with the patient’s blood group. Alternate blood groups below are listed in the order of selection by the Transfusion Medicine Laboratory. Cryoprecipitate contains little plasma. ABO compatible is preferred but not required. Platelets which are ABO incompatible are tested for high titre anti-A or anti-B prior to issue.

Rh negative patients should receive Rh negative platelets. If there is a shortage of Rh-negative platelets, Rh-positive platelets may be given.

  • In Vitro Selection for Adhesion of Plasmodium Falciparum-Infected Erythrocytes to ABO Antigens Does Not Affect Pfemp1 and RIFIN
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN In vitro selection for adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum‑infected erythrocytes to ABO antigens does not afect PfEMP1 and RIFIN expression William van der Puije1,2, Christian W. Wang 4, Srinidhi Sudharson 2, Casper Hempel 2, Rebecca W. Olsen 4, Nanna Dalgaard 4, Michael F. Ofori 1, Lars Hviid 3,4, Jørgen A. L. Kurtzhals 2,4 & Trine Staalsoe 2,4* Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe form of malaria in humans. The adhesion of the infected erythrocytes (IEs) to endothelial receptors (sequestration) and to uninfected erythrocytes (rosetting) are considered major elements in the pathogenesis of the disease. Both sequestration and rosetting appear to involve particular members of several IE variant surface antigens (VSAs) as ligands, interacting with multiple vascular host receptors, including the ABO blood group antigens. In this study, we subjected genetically distinct P. falciparum parasites to in vitro selection for increased IE adhesion to ABO antigens in the absence of potentially confounding receptors. The selection resulted in IEs that adhered stronger to pure ABO antigens, to erythrocytes, and to various human cell lines than their unselected counterparts. However, selection did not result in marked qualitative changes in transcript levels of the genes encoding the best-described VSA families, PfEMP1 and RIFIN. Rather, overall transcription of both gene families tended to decline following selection. Furthermore, selection-induced increases in the adhesion to ABO occurred in the absence of marked changes in immune IgG recognition of IE surface antigens, generally assumed to target mainly VSAs. Our study sheds new light on our understanding of the processes and molecules involved in IE sequestration and rosetting.

Philip Levine tested her serum against 54 ABO-compatible blood samples: only 13 were compatible. Rhesus (Rh) blood group 1930s several cases of Hemolytic of the Fetus and Newborn (HDFN) published.

In search of more blood groups, Landsteiner and Wiener immunized rabbits with the Rhesus macaque blood of the Rhesus monkeys. Rhesus (Rh) blood group 1940 Landsteiner and Wiener reported an antibody that reacted with about 85% of human red cell samples. It was supposed that anti-Rh was the specificity causing the “intragroup” incompatibilities observed. 1941 Levine found in over 90% of erythroblastosis fetalis cases, the mother was Rh-negative and the father was Rh-positive.

  • The Incidence of Spontaneous Abortion in Mothers with Blood Group O Compared with Other Blood Types

In spite of reports in which the incompatible mating was recognized to be a cause of habitual abortion, and which eventually results in infertility or a reduction in the number of living children compared with the number in compatible matings, such effects were not observed in other studies. The aim of this review article was to show some evidence of relationship between ABO incompatibility and spontaneous abortion.

Abstract: The MNS blood group system, International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) 002, is second after the ABO system. GYPA and GYPB genes encode MNS blood group antigens carried on glycophorin A (GPA), glycophorin B (GPB), or on variant glycophorins. A third gene, GYPE, produce glycophorin E (GPE) but is not expressed. MNS antigens arise from several genetic mechanisms. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) contribute to the diversity of the MNS system. A new antigen SUMI (MNS50), p.Thr31Pro on GPA has been described in the Japanese population. Unequal crossing-over and gene conversion are the mechanisms forming hybrid glycophorins, usually from parent genes GYPA and GYPB. GYPE also contributes to gene recombination previously only described with GYPA. Recently, however, GYPE was shown to recombine with GYPB to form a GYP(B-E-B) hybrid.

The name of an individual’s blood group corresponds to the antigen that is present on the exterior of his/her red blood cells. Antibodies are found in a person’s plasma. At approximately age 4 months, ABO antibodies have been naturally acquired to the antigen(s) that are absent from the exterior of the individual’s red blood cells. If the antigen (A or B) is absent from the exterior of a person’s red blood cells, the corresponding antibody will be found in the person’s plasma.
