Question
Answer
The most immunogenic of all the blood group antigens   ABO blood group antigens  
🗑
Describe the physiological functions of ABO blood group antigens   Unknown  
🗑
This ABO phenotype has been linked with stomach ulcers   Group O  
🗑
Individuals with this blood type tend to have lower levels of the von Willebrand Factor (vWF)   O  
🗑
This ABO phenotype has been linked with gastric cancer   more common in group A individuals  
🗑
most common ABO blood type in most populations   O  
🗑
Antibody isotype for ABO antibodies   For type O = IgG; for A and B= IgM  
🗑
Describe Antibody reactivity for ABO blood group antibodies   Capable of hemolysis Anti-A and anti-B bind to RBCs and activate the complement cascade, which lyses the RBCs while they are still in the circulation (intravascular hemolysis).  
🗑
Describe Transfusion reaction involving ABO antibodies   Typically causes an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction  
🗑
Describe severity of cases of Hemolytic disease of the newborn involving ABO system   No or mild disease  
🗑
He discovered the first blood group system, ABO, and earned a Nobel Prize.   Austrian scientist, Karl Landsteiner  
🗑
Describe the differences between A1 and A2 RBC phenotypes   A1 red cells express about 5 times more A antigen than A2 red cells  
🗑
How/why do ABO antibodies occur?   ABO antibody production is stimulated when the immune system encounters the "missing" ABO blood group antigens in foods or in micro-organisms.  
🗑
Immunodominant sugar for blood group A   N-acetylgalactosamine  
🗑
Immunodominant sugar for blood group B   D-galactose  
🗑
Are ABO antigens expressed on other tissues?   expressed on a wide variety of human tissues and are present on most epithelial and endothelial cells.  
🗑
In individuals who are "secretors", a soluble form of the ABO blood group antigens is found in saliva and in all bodily fluids except for this.   CSF  
🗑
ABO antibodies are of major clinical significance for two reasons:   they are naturally occurring and are found universally, and, they are highly reactive.  
🗑
ABO related Hemolytic disease of the newborn tends to occur almost exclusively in moms with this blood type? Why?   Group O mothers with A or B baby because anti-A and anti-B formed in group O individuals tend to be of the IgG type (can cross placenta), whereas the anti-A and anti-B found in the serum of group B and A moms, is IgM  
🗑
For A/B antigen synthesis to occur, a precursor called the_____ antigen must be present   H(FUT1)  
🗑
In saliva and other bodily secretions, the enzyme that synthesizes the H antigen is encoded by the __locus (FUT2).   Se  
🗑
The ABO locus is located on chromosome   The ABO locus is located on chromosome 9 at 9q34.1-q34.2.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
