Recombinant alpha-D-galactosidase (rGal) from soybean (Glycine max) hydrolyzed the immunodominant alpha-D-galactose residue from the B epitope of red blood cells. This converted type B erythrocytes to type O which are "universally" transfusable. Type B red blood cells were obtained from four different donors and enzymatically converted. Cell function parameters, including red cell indices, pH, methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, osmotic fragility, hemolysis, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, cholinesterase, ATP, and antigen typing of treated cells were compared to controls. These pilot studies indicate that rGal could have potential biotechnical application in the production of universally transfusable red blood cells.

D009996 Osmotic Fragility RED BLOOD CELL sensitivity to change in OSMOTIC PRESSURE. When exposed to a hypotonic concentration of sodium in a solution, red cells take in more water, swell until the capacity of the cell membrane is exceeded, and burst.

D005690 Galactose An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.

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.
