[An acquired B antigen in a subject of A2 group]. 1978

G Andreu, and S Mativet, and M Simonneau, and J Pierre, and C Salmon

Almost all cases of acquired B antigen have been found in individuals. This report concerns a group A2 patient with acquired B antigen. The family was not available for genetic studies. Nevertheless two facts were in favour of A2 genotype: 10 after acetylation of the patient's red cells the A1 reactivity which usually reappears or is increased on acquired B cells, did not appear. 20 The study of the serum alpha-N acetyl galactosaminyl transferase showed an optimal activity at pH7, as it is usually found in A2. The respective roles of anti acquired B antibodies, group A specific structures and bacterial enzyme properties in the occurrence of acquired B antigen are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D006384 Hemagglutination The aggregation of ERYTHROCYTES by AGGLUTININS, including antibodies, lectins, and viral proteins (HEMAGGLUTINATION, VIRAL). Hemagglutinations
D006596 Hexosaminidases Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of N-acylhexosamine residues in N-acylhexosamides. Hexosaminidases also act on GLUCOSIDES; GALACTOSIDES; and several OLIGOSACCHARIDES. Galactosaminidases,Hexosaminidase,Galactosaminidase,Glucosaminidase,Glucosaminidases
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
