RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the serological characteristics and molecular mechanism for an individual with p phenotype.@*METHODS@#An individual with p phenotype upon blood group identification at Jiaxing Blood Center in May 2021 was analyzed. ABO, RhD and P1PK blood groups and irregular antibodies in her serum were identified using conventional serological methods. The encoding region of α1, 4-galactosyltransferase gene (A4GALT) encoding P1 and Pk antigens was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-sequence-based typing (PCR-SBT).@*RESULTS@#The individual was A group, RhD positive and had a p phenotype of the P1PK blood group system. Anti-PP1Pk was discovered in her serum. Sequencing analysis revealed that she has harbored a homozygous c.343A>T variant of the A4GALT gene.@*CONCLUSION@#The homozygous c.343A>T variant of the A4GALT gene probably underlay the p phenotype in this individual.

【Objective】 To study the detection performance of HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive samples of blood donors. 【Methods】 Two kinds of ELISA reagents from different manufacturers (named as reagents A and B) were used for HBsAg screening. A total of 276 samples, from January 2017 to May 2021, with HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive results were collected for further nucleic acid detection technology (NAT) and chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) testing, to undergo HBV-DNA and five hepatitis B tests, respectively. The relationship between HBsAg single-ELISA-reactivity, NAT and CLIA was statistically analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 276 HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive samples, 14 were NAT reactive, with the positive rate of 5.07% (14/276). Fisher′s exact test was used to compare the compliance of reagents A and B with NAT reactivity, and the difference was not statistically significant (P<0.05). Among 14 HBsAg+ /NAT+ samples retested by CLIA, 2 were HBsAg reactive(14.29%, 2/14), 13 were anti-HBc reactive (92.86%, 13/14), 9 had the quantitative value of anti-HBs <10 mIU/mL, 5 had the quantitative value of anti-HBs between 10 to 100mIU/ mL. A total of 5 serological patterns were detected, and anti-HBe+ /anti-HBc+ pattern was the dominant. There were 262 cases of HBsAg+ /NAT- samples, but only 1 (0.38%, , 1/262) case was HBsAg reactive by CLIA, 100 were anti-HBc reactive (38.17%, 100/262), 144 (54.96%, 144/262) were anti-HBs reactive, and 1 was HBeAg reactive. A total of 8 serological patterns were detected. 【Conclusion】 Most of HBsAg single-ELISA-reactive results are false, and NAT could effectively reduce the residual risk of transfusion transmitted diseases.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To study and analyze the profile of irregular antibodies among voluntary blood donors in Jiaxing area. 【Methods】 The ABO and RhD blood groups of all voluntary blood donors from November 2018 to November 2020 were detected by DIAGAST QWALYS 3 automatic blood group analyzer. According to routine serological screening program of irregular antibody, the samples reactive to O blood cell were sent to the reference laboratory for further identification of the antibody specificity, and the specificity and distribution characteristics of irregular antibodies were analyzed statistically. 【Results】 A total of 79 samples presenting irregular antibodies were yielded out of 90 854 blood samples, with a positive rate of 0.087%. More female samples (n=44) than male (n=35) (P0.05). 【Conclusion】 Female, RhD negative and more than 45 years old blood donors are more likely to present irregular antibodies, regardless of the number of blood donations.
