Antibodies blood groups

Intravascular hemolysis is a rare adverse effect of immunoglobulins, due to the presence of anti-blood group antibodies (119-123).

B cells and B-LCL express surface immunoglobulin and this can be exploited to select cells secreting antibody with the desired specificity. For blood group antibodies, sterile red cells of the appropriate blood group are conveniently used. If the antigen is resistant to proteolytic enzymes (papain, bromelain, tiypsin) these can be used to reduce the surface charge of the cells which enhances contact with B cells.

Immobilization of A and B blood group oligosaccharide haptens and preparation of immunoadsorbents with specificity to anti-A and anti-B antibodies has been carried out with the use of poly acrylate-coated PG (WPG-PA) [124]. Prespacered A and B-trisaccharide-fl-aminopropylglycosides were used for the synthesis. WPG-PA (1 g) quantitatively binds both haptens (2 pinole) whereas some other activated affinity supports (for example, CNBr-Sepharose 4B) do not. On the other hand, glycidoxypropyl-silica binds prespacered haptens completely but these materials reveal no specific adsorptivity.

During blood transfusions, immune reactions can occur that destroy the erythrocytes transfused from the donor. These reactions result from the formation of antibodies (see p. 300) directed to certain surface structures on the erythrocytes. Known as blood group antigens, these are proteins or oligosaccharides that can differ from individual to individual. More than 20 different blood group systems are now known. The ABO system and the Rh system are of particular clinical importance. 

The recipient s serum should not contain any antibodies against the donor erythrocytes, and the donor serum should not contain any antibodies against the recipient s erythrocytes. Donor blood from blood group 0 is unproblematic, as its erythrocytes do not possess any antibodies and therefore do not react with anti-A or anti-B in the recipient s blood. Conversely, blood from the AB group can only be administered to recipients with the AB group, as these are the only ones without antibodies. 

With individuals of blood group 0, injection of A and B substances gave a big increase in the amounts of precipitins. For example, the specific antibodies to the blood group A substance could be obtained from the specific precipitate by the use of 15% sodium chloride for dissociating... 

Figure 8.1 When a person receives blood, it is essential that the ABO blood groups are compatible. ABO Blood Group testing for blood transfusions is illustrated here. Antibodies in the serum (the clear part of blood) form clumps of red blood cells when they come in contact with red blood cells of an incompatible blood group. For example, the sera of 0 and B transfusion recipients would cause clumping of red cells from donors whose blood is type A or AB.
