Antigens of the MNS blood group system are expressed on the red blood cell (RBC) membrane on glycophorin A (GPA) and glycophorin B (GPB) or on hybrid molecules of GPA and GPB. This study investigated the distribution of glycophorin variants and alloantibodies against Hil and MINY among Japanese individuals.
Mi(a+) or Hil+ RBCs were screened using an automated blood grouping machine (PK7300) with monoclonal anti-Mi or polyclonal anti-Hil. Glycophorin variants were defined by serology with monoclonal antibodies against Mi , Vw, MUT and Mur, and polyclonal antibodies against Hil, MINY and Hop + Nob (KIPP). The glycophorin variants were further confirmed by immunoblotting and Sanger sequencing. Alloanti-Hil and alloanti-MINY in the plasma were screened using GP.Hil RBCs in an antiglobulin test. The specificity of anti-Hil or anti-MINY was assessed using GP.Hil (Hil+MINY+) and GP.JL (Hil-MINY+) RBCs.
The GP.HF, GP.Mur, GP.Hut, GP.Vw, GP.Kip and GP.Bun frequencies in 1 005 594 individuals were 0·0357%, 0·0256%, 0·0181%, 0·0017%, 0·0009% and 0·0007%, respectively. GP.Hil was found in as four of the 13 546 individuals (0·0295%). Of 137 370 donors, 10 had anti-Hil (0·0073%) and three had anti-MINY (0·0022%).
Glycophorin variants were relatively rare in Japanese individuals, with the major variants being GP.HF (0·0357%), GP.Hil (0·0295%) and GP.Mur (0·0256%). Only one example of anti-MINY was previously reported, but we found three more in this study.
MNS 血型系统的抗原在红细胞(RBC)膜上的糖蛋白 A(GPA)和糖蛋白 B(GPB)上表达,或在 GPA 和 GPB 的杂交分子上表达。本研究调查了日本人中糖蛋白变体和针对 Hil 和 MINY 的同种异体抗体的分布。
使用带有抗 Mi 单克隆抗体或多克隆抗 Hil 的自动血型鉴定机(PK7300)筛选 Mi(a+)或 Hil+RBC。糖蛋白变体通过与针对 Mi、Vw、MUT 和 Mur 的单克隆抗体以及针对 Hil、MINY 和 Hop+Nob(KIPP)的多克隆抗体进行血清学定义。糖蛋白变体通过免疫印迹和 Sanger 测序进一步确认。使用抗球蛋白试验中的 GP.Hil RBC 筛选血浆中的同种异体抗 Hil 和同种异体抗 MINY。使用 GP.Hil(Hil+MINY+)和 GP.JL(Hil-MINY+)RBC 评估抗 Hil 或抗 MINY 的特异性。
在 1 005 594 个人中,GP.HF、GP.Mur、GP.Hut、GP.Vw、GP.Kip 和 GP.Bun 的频率分别为 0.0357%、0.0256%、0.0181%、0.0017%、0.0009%和 0.0007%。在 13 546 个人中发现了四个 GP.Hil(0.0295%)。在 137 370 名供体中,有 10 名抗 Hil(0.0073%),3 名抗 MINY(0.0022%)。
在日本人中,糖蛋白变体相对较少,主要变体为 GP.HF(0.0357%)、GP.Hil(0.0295%)和 GP.Mur(0.0256%)。以前仅报道过一例抗 MINY,但本研究中发现了三例。
