| 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. |
