Red-cell auto-antibodies mimicking anti-Fyb specificity. 1984

M B van 't Veer, and I van Leeuwen, and F J Haas, and M Smelt, and M A Overbeeke, and C P Engelfriet

An antibody is described, produced by an Fy(a+b-) woman that at first reacted with her own cells, preferentially with Fy(b+) cells but not with Fy(a-b-) cells. Later, pure anti-Fyb specificity occurred. Elution and absorption studies revealed that the antibody recognized a determinant absent from Fy(a-b-) cells but present on Fy(a+b-) and Fy(a-b+) cells, much more strongly, however, on the latter, and that it was an autoantibody.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient. Crossmatching is performed prior to transfusion. Blood Typing,Crossmatching, Blood,Blood Grouping,Blood Crossmatching,Grouping, Blood,Typing, Blood
D001789 Blood Group Antigens Sets of cell surface antigens located on BLOOD CELLS. They are usually membrane GLYCOPROTEINS or GLYCOLIPIDS that are antigenically distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties. Blood Group,Blood Group Antigen,Blood Groups,Antigen, Blood Group,Antigens, Blood Group,Group Antigen, Blood,Group, Blood,Groups, Blood
D003298 Coombs Test A test to detect non-agglutinating ANTIBODIES against ERYTHROCYTES by use of anti-antibodies (the Coombs' reagent.) The direct test is applied to freshly drawn blood to detect antibody bound to circulating red cells. The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibodies that can bind to red blood cells.

D004375 Duffy Blood-Group System A blood group consisting mainly of the antigens Fy(a) and Fy(b), determined by allelic genes, the frequency of which varies profoundly in different human groups; amorphic genes are common. Blood-Group System, Duffy,Duffy Blood Group System,System, Duffy Blood-Group

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
