ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To carry out serological and molecular biological identification of B (A) subtype, and discuss the rational blood transfusion strategy. 【Methods】 Serological and direct sequencing methods were used to detect serotype and genotype of 7 cases of B (A) subtype, and cross matching was performed by saline medium and anti human globulin card to analyze the red blood cells(RBCs) transfusion strategy. 【Results】 The serology results of blood type of 7 samples were similar, with B(A)04/O01 in 3 cases, B(A)04/O02 in 2 cases and B(A)02/O01 in 2 cases. 7 cases of B (A) subtypes were matched with randomly selected blood donors of type O and B on the major side. 【Conclusion】 B(A) subtypes should be identified by genotyping techniques. Washed RBCs of type B and O can be used for B(A) blood type transfusion.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To analyze and master the serological and genetic characteristics of the samples with CisAB subtype and their genetic background. 【Methods】 From January 2018 to January 2022, blood samples with discrepant ABO blood typing results, from Zhengzhou voluntary blood donors and hospital patients, were subjected to phenotypic classification using micro column gel card and tube method, as well as amplification of exons 6 and 7 in ABO gene using PCR. The pedigrees of individuals with the same CisAB subtype but different serological typing results in the same family were analyzed. 【Results】 11 The forward typing of 12 samples was AB type, and unexpected antibodies against weaker antigens were found in 11 serum samples, including 9 cases with strong antigen A, 2 cases with strong antigen B, and 1 case with consistent forward and reverse typing results. Gene sequencing confirmed that 11 cases were CisAB01 subtype and 1 case was CisAB05 subtype.Among them, 7 cases had the genotype of CisAB01/O and serological phenotype of A2B3; 2 cases had the genotype of CisAB01/B and phenotype of A2B; 2 cases had the genotype of CisAB01/A and serological phenotype of A1Bx and A1B3; 1 case had the phenotype of AxB. In the CisAB01 family, 1 case of CisAB01/O with A2B3 phenotype and 1 case of CisAB01/B with A2B phenotype were detected. In the CisAB05 family, 2 CisAB05/O01 and 1 CisAB05/O02 were detected. 【Conclusion】 The serological phenotypes of different individuals in the same CisAB01 family can be different when paired with different ABO alleles. It is advisable to accurately identify the CisAB subtype genes with molecular biological methods to ensure blood transfusion safety.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To summarize a rapid and effective method to eliminate autoantibodies interference with blood group identification and evaluate its treatment effect. 【Methods】 Blood samples with suspicious results in initial blood group identification were collected, and those caused by autoantibodies were chosen, and their red blood cells were washed, dispersed or treated with sulfhydryl reagent. After allogeneic or autologous absorption of plasma, blood groups of those patients were re-detected to evaluate the effectiveness of the above method. 【Results】 Among 39 patients presenting suspicious ABO blood group, 9 were interfered by autoantibodies. After appropriate treatment, the ABO/RhD blood group of those patients could be identified. 【Conclusion】 Autoantibodies could interfere the identification of ABO/RhD blood group, and the efficiency and accuracy of blood group identification could be improved by analyzing the test results and selecting appropriate treatment methods.
ABSTRACT
Pre-transfusion compatibility testing is complicated in autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) patients due to the presence of autoantibodies. Delays in blood transfusion or even life-threatening would occur if blood type, isoantibodies/ autoantibodies of these patients could not be correctly identified to choose the appropriate blood components. Knowing the detection and treatment countermeasures against blood transfusion compatibility in AIHA patients is of great significance to ensure the timeliness and safety of blood transfusion. Based on the research progress at home and abroad, this article summarizes the serological characteristics, autoantibody types, blood group identification methods, antibody screening and antibody identification methods, and blood transfusion strategies about AIHA patients, in order to eliminate the interference of autoantibodies and provide transfusion guidance for the staff of Blood Transfusion Department.
