ABO ANTIBODIES
Inheritance is based on
Mendelian theory
One position or locus on each
chromosome 9 is occupied by A,
B or O gene
O gene is an amorph
A & B are phenotypes, AA, BO &
OO denote genotypes
INHERITANCE OF THE ABO
BLOOD GROUPS
Sources of errors:
– Failure to add reagents
– Failure to follow manufacturer’s
instructions
– Uncalibrated centrifuge
– Contaminated reagents
– Warming during centrifugation
ABO DISCREPANCIES:
GROUP 1 DISCREPANCIES
Seen in:
– w/ BM transplantations
– w/ existing ABO Abs (been diluted by
plasma transfusion or exchange)
– ABO subgroups
Resolution:
– By incubating the px serum w/ A1 & B cells
@ RT for approximately 15-30 minutes
– If still no reaction, incubate again @ 4 oC for
15-30 minutes
ABO DISCREPANCIES:
GROUP 2 DISCREPANCIES
Resolution:
– incubating @ RT for up to
30 minutes
– If negative, incubate
again @ 4oC for 15-30
minutes
ABO DISCREPANCIES:
GROUP 3 DISCREPANCIES
Resolution:
– By washing the px’s RBC
several times w/ saline
dilution or saline replacement
technique
ABO DISCREPANCIES:
GROUP 4 DISCREPANCIES
Resolution:
– Px’s RBC could be incubated @ 37 oC
for a short period, then wash w/ saline
@ 37 oC 3 times & retype
– If negative, px’s RBC can be treated
w/0.01 M dithiothreitol DTT) to disperse
IgM-related agglutination
– If serum, the reagent RBCs & serum
can be warmed to 37 oC, mix, then
tested, read @ 37 oC
ABO DISCREPANCIES:
GROUP 4 DISCREPANCIES
Resolution:
– If reverse typing is negative,
performed autoabsorption
