The Lewis blood group system is unusual in that the Lewis antigens are	NOT of erythroid origin. Primarily consists of two antigens: Lewis^a (Le^a) and Lewis^b (Le^b)
On RBCs, the Lewis antigens reside on	glycosphingolipids
Lewis antigens are synthesized in	the gastrointestinal tract and passively adsorbed onto RBCs from a soluble pool of secreted Lewis substance in plasma.
Tissues and fluids expressing Lewis include	plasma, saliva, RBCs, platelets, lymphocytes, endothelium, uroepithelium, and bowel mucosa
Three Lewis phenotypes are observed in adults	Le(a+b-), Le(a-b+), Le(a-b-). The Le(a+b+) is only rarely observed, usually on RBCs of very young children and some individuals of Polynesian, Janpanese, or Taiwanese ancestry
Le(a-b-) phenotype is 5 times more common in	blacks than in Caucasians. also increased in neonates owing to the developmentally delayed expression of the Lewis and Secretor genes
Because Lea and Leb are glycosphingolipids, antibody reactivity can be enhanced by pretreatment of RBCs with	enzymes
Anti-Leb can be observed in individuals of	Le (a+b-) or Le (a-b-)phenotype, whereas anti-Lea is observed only in Le (a-b-) individuals
Anti-Lea is not observed in the Le (a−b+)phenotype because these individuals synthesize a small amount of	Le^a
Lewis antibodies	are not associated with HDFN and are only rarely associated with hemolytic transfusion reactions
For transfusion, patients with anti-Lewis antibodies reactive only at room temperature may be safely transfused with	crossmatch–compatible RBCs. In contrast, rare examples of anti-Lea or anti-Leb that are hemolytic in vitro should receive antigen-negative, crossmatch–compatible RBC
The Lewis blood group antigens play an important role in disease.	Helicobacter pylori, a causative agent of gastritis and ulcers, binds H, Leb, and Ley antigens via BabA recognition of a terminal Fucá1–2Gal epitope
A Lewis null and/or nonsecretor phenotype has also been linked with a higher incidence of	recurrent Candida vaginitis and urinary tract infection
A Le (a−b−) phenotype is associated with an increased incidence of	heart disease. Conversely,a nonsecretor phenotype protects against Norovirus infection, a highly contagious RNA virus responsible for 23 million gastrointestinal infections a year
Sialyl-Lea is also the epitope for the tumor marker	CA 19-9, a useful serologic marker for monitoring patients with gastrointestinal and other malignancies.
Duffy (FY) blood group system contains five antigens:	Fy^a, Fy^b, Fy3, Fy5, and Fy6
Fya and Fyb are	autosomal codominant antigens, whereas Fy3, Fy5, and Fy6 are high incidence antigens present on all RBCs except the Duffy null phenotype
Fya and Fyb antigens are common in	Caucasians, whereas the Duffy null or Fy (a−b−) phenotype is the predominant phenotype in blacks
In addition to RBCs, the Duffy antigens are expressed on	cerebellar Purkinje cells and postcapillary venule endothelial cells
The Duffy antigens reside on	DARC or Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines
The Fya, Fyb, and Fy6 antigens reside on	the amino-terminal domain of DARC and are sensitive to proteolytic cleavage. The amino-terminal domain is also the binding site for P. vivax and plays a role in chemokine binding
Antibodies against Fya, Fyb, and other Duffy antigens are clinically significant.They are associated with	HDFN and both immediate and delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. They are usually of IgG isotype, reactive at 37° C, and are detected only in the IAT
Antibodies against Fya, Fyb,and Fy6 antigens, which reside on	the long amino-terminal domain of DARC, can be inhibited by prior protease digestion of RBCs
Fy5 and Fy3 antigens are relatively resistant to	protease digestion
Anti- Fy6 has not been observed clinically but is the epitope for an anti-Duffy monoclonal antibody that blocks	P. vivax binding
DARC is also the receptor for	P. vivax, which binds DARC at the Fy6 epitope. Fynull individuals are resistant to most P. vivax strains, providing a selective advantage to populations living in malaria endemic areas
