To determine the distribution of blood types and to estimate the proportion of matings at risk for neonatal isoerythrolysis in non-pedigree domestic cats.
The present survey determined the frequency of blood types in 301 cats from four distinct regions of Turkey. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-anticoagulated blood samples were typed by simple tube and slide agglutination assays. Serum obtained from type B cats and an anti-B solution, prepared with Triticum vulgaris, were used to determine type A and type B blood, respectively.
Of the 301 cats typed, 220 had type A blood, 74 had type B and seven had type AB. There was a significant difference (P<0.01) between the locations of the cats, with fewer type B cats in the eastern than in the western parts of Turkey. Risk for the development of neonatal isoerythrolysis due to A-B mismatch was estimated to be 18.6 per cent.
The overall type B frequency in Turkish domestic cats is high. Thus, untyped transfusions in these cats carry a high risk of life-threatening acute haemolytic transfusion reactions and neonatal isoerythrolysis. It is therefore strongly recommended that blood typing be performed before breeding or transfusing in order to minimise blood type incompatibility risks.
确定非谱系家猫的血型分布，并估计发生新生儿溶血病风险的交配比例。
本次调查确定了来自土耳其四个不同地区的301只猫的血型频率。通过简单的试管和玻片凝集试验对乙二胺四乙酸抗凝的血样进行血型鉴定。分别用B型猫血清和用普通小麦制备的抗B溶液来确定A型和B型血。
在进行血型鉴定的301只猫中，220只为A型血，74只为B型血，7只为AB型血。猫所在的位置之间存在显著差异（P<0.01），土耳其东部的B型猫比西部少。因A-B血型不匹配导致新生儿溶血病发生的风险估计为18.6%。
土耳其家猫中B型血的总体频率较高。因此，这些猫未经血型鉴定的输血具有发生危及生命的急性溶血性输血反应和新生儿溶血病的高风险。因此，强烈建议在繁殖或输血前进行血型鉴定，以尽量降低血型不相容的风险。
