Objective To investigate the positive rate of HLA-Ⅰ or/and HLA-Ⅱ antibody in female blood donors with a history of pregnancy in Shandong region,with an aim of exploring the significance of HLA antibody testing in reducing clinical platelet transfusion adverse reactions,and providing data support for safe blood transfusion and rational use of blood products.Method Flow cytometry microbead method was used to detect HLA-Ⅰ and HLA-Ⅱ antibodies in 186 samples included in this study.Result Among 186 female blood donors with pregnancy history,77 were detected as positive for HLA-Ⅰ class antibodies(41.4％),41 cases were HLA-Ⅱ positive(22.0％),92 cases were positive for HLA-Ⅰ or/and HLA-Ⅱ antibodies(49.5％).Conclusion A preliminary investigation has conducted on the distribution of HLA antibodies among female blood donors with a history of pregnancy in the local area,and the HLA antibody positivity rate is as high as 49.5％.The results of this study provide a certain data basis for the establishment of preventive measures for transfusion immune related complications caused by blood products and HLA antibodies in a reasonable manner.

OBJECTIVE: To study the polymorphism of human platelet antigen (HPA) system 10 among ethnic Han Chinese from Shandong, China so as to supplement the data of platelet donor bank in the region. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples of platelet donors from the region were genotyped for HPA-10 alleles by PCR-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) and direct sequencing. RESULTS: Among 1401 donors, a rare heterozygote carrier of HPA-10w (a+b+) was identified, which gave an allelic frequency of approximately 0.035%. CONCLUSION The detection of rare HPA-10bw antigen allele among ethnic Han Chinese from Shandong is useful for the diagnosis and prevention of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and post-transfusion purpura in the region.

【Objective】 To investigate the serological and molecular genetic characteristics of B(A) and cisAB blood groups discovered in our laboratory. 【Methods】 ABO blood group serology and genetic tests were used to identify blood groups of 6 blood samples, submitted by blood center and hospitals in Shandong, and pedigree investigation was carried on 2 of them. 【Results】 Among the 6 samples, serological results were B(A) in 5 cases and cisAB in 1 case. The results of genetic tests were consistent with the serological results, as the alleles included B(A)04, B(A)02 and cisAB01, and all genotypes were heterozygous with O. Serological pedigree study was conducted on 2 samples: One cisAB patient with his 4 relatives(cisAB type father and three O type relatives) and one B(A)02/O1 donor with his 3 relatives[ B(A) type father/brother and O type mother). For B(A)02/O1 donor, the results of genetic testing were consistent with the serological results, as the paternal genotype was the same as that of the proband, the younger brother was B(A)02/O2, and the maternal genotype was O1/O2. 【Conclusion】 The cisAB and B(A) blood groups are often indistinguishable by serological phenotypes and require genetic confirmation. CisAB pedigree investigation revealed 2 cases of cisAB blood type and B(A) pedigree investigation revealed 3 cases of B(A). The genotyping of cisAB and B(A) in this region were cisAB01/O2, B(A)02/O1, B(A)02/O2, B(A)04/O1 and B(A)04/O2. B(A)and cisAB subtypes can be accurately identified through genetic testing and pedigree investigation, which can provide a reliable basis for blood transfusion selection and ensure the safety of clinical blood transfusion.
