Objective: To investigate the impact of RHAG 808A variant, commonly identified in the Chinese population, on RhAG protein, RhD and RhCE antigens expression through in vivo and in vitro expression analysis. Methods: A missense mutation of RHAG gene (c. 808G>A, p. Val270Ile) with high frequency was found in KMxD database. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using Polyphen-2 and Provean software. High resolution melting (HRM) method was utilized to screen for the variant carriers in the blood donors. The expression of RhAG protein, RhD and RhCE antigens on the surface of red cells of variant carriers were detected via flow cytometry. Wild-type and mutant vectors of RHAG were constructed and transfected into HEK 293T cells for in vitro expression analysis. Then, the expression of RhAG protein, RhD and RhCE antigens were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: Polyphen-2 and Provean software suggested that the amino acid change (p. Val270Ile) of RhAG protein may be harmful or neutral respectively. Among the 999 blood donors from Guangzhou Blood Center, 4 homozygous carriers and 99 heterozygous carriers of RHAG 808A mutant allele were identified. The frequency of this allele was 5.4% (107/1 998). No significant differences in RhAG protein, RhD and RhCE antigens expression level was identified between the homozygous carriers, heterozygous carriers of RHAG 808A variant allele and the wild-type individuals. In vitro analysis for antigen expression study obtained the similar results. Conclusion: The RHAG 808A variant allele commonly identified in the Chinese population has no effect on the expression of RhAG protein, RhD and RhCE antigens, so the variant should be a population polymorphism site.

Objective To elucidate the prediction ability of monocyte monolayer assay(MMA)used in hemolytic dis-ease of fetus and newborn(HDFN)caused by IgG anti-M.Methods Plasma from eight pregnant women containing IgG an-ti-M were collected,and were divided into two groups(4 cases with HDFN,with severe clinical symptoms such as fetal hy-drops,and 4 cases without HDFN)according to the clinical outcomes.M antigen positive cells were sensitized with dithioth-reitol(DTT)treated plasma from eight pregnant women respectively.MMA was performed by coincubation with monocytes and sensitized M cells,along with negative and positive control set up.T-test was conducted to compare the difference in phagocytic efficiency between two groups.Results The phagocytic efficiency in group with HDFN were 15.37%,13.05%,9.17%and 24.50%respectively,with the mean value of 15.52%,while the group without HDFN were 8.74%,11.07%,5.12%and 6.23%respectively,with the mean value of 7.79%.There was no significant difference in phagocytic efficiency between two groups(P>0.05).The mean values of both groups were not significantly different from the negative control(P>0.05),but both were significantly lower than positive control(P<0.05).Conclusion The low phagocytic efficiency couldn't convince that the MMA is an effective predictor for the HDFN caused by IgG anti-M,indicating that another mech-anism might be responsible for it rather than monocyte phagocytosis.The assessment of the peak systolic velocity in middle cerebral artery of the fetal should be considered in the management for pregnant women who produce IgG anti-M to estimate the situation of fetal anemia.

【Objective】 To identify the specificity of alloantibody against high-frequency antigens in one case suffering with severe hemolytic diseases of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and to screen for matching blood for transfusion. 【Methods】 The HDFN test and the antibody serological identification tests in the mother were performed. Several common high frequency antigens of maternal red blood cells (RBCs) were determined. IgG subtype coated on the RBCs of the newborn was determined. The phagocytic efficiency of the antibody was tested using the monocyte phagocytosis of sensitized erythrocyte by flow cytometry in vitro. Sanger sequencing of DI gene was performed in the mother, father and mother’s brother. The diluted maternal plasma was used for large scale screening of matching blood using IAT in Coomb’s gel card. 【Results】 Di(b-) phenotype was identified in the mother of the newborn and anti-Di^b (titer: 512) related HDN was detected in the newborn. IgG1 and IgG2 subtypes of anti-Di^b were detected and the rate of monocyte phagocytosis was 88.83%(74.7/84.09). The compatible blood was not detected in the maternal relatives. Subsequently, the newborn received the matching RBCs of two Di(b-) donors identified from 5 520 blood donors and discharged from the hospital. We screened out 17 Di(b-) donors out of 51 334 blood donors, indicating that the distribution frequency of Di(b-) among blood donors in Guangzhou was about 0.033% (17/51 334). 【Conclusion】 By serology and molecular biology methods, the newborn was identified with HDFN caused by anti-Di^b, and an effective large-scale screening method for Di (b -) rare blood types was established to find matching blood, which supported the establishment of rare Di(b-) blood database.

【Objective】 To solve the difficulty of RhD blood group typing in a patient with double population(DP) of red blood cells for RhD antigen by serological and genotyping analysis. 【Methods】 Separation of the two populations of red blood cells of the patient was performed using capillary centrifugation method. ABO, RhD and RhCE typing, direct anti-human globulin test (DAT), irregular antibody screening, antibody identification and blood crossmatching of the patient were conducted using the standard serological methods. The hybrid Rhesus zygosity analysis of the RHD gene was performed by PCR-RFLP method. RHD and RHCE genotype of the patients were identified by PCR-SSP method. 【Results】 The patient was B type but with DP of red blood cells for RhD, Rhc and RhE antigens. DAT of the patient was positive and the alloanti-D was detected in serum. The RHD zygosity was D-/D- homozygote. PCR-SSP testing showed the RHD gene deletion (RHD * 01N. 01/01N.01 genotype) and Ccee of RHCE genotype in the patient, which was consistent with RHD zygosity analysis. 【Conclusion】 This is a special case with D-negative phenotype which was wrongly detected as D-positive type after D-positive red blood cells transfusion in emergency. When the DP of red cells for D antigen encountered like this case, the RhD typing can be accurately determined by using RHD genotyping analysis to provide strong evidence to the clinical blood transfusion.

【Objective】 To identify the antibody specificity in a pregnant women who had no history of blood transfusion but presented the antibodies against high-frequency antigens. 【Methods】 ABO, RhD blood group antigens were identified by saline. Antibody screening and identification were performed by saline and indirect Coomb’s technique. Further antibody identification tests were conducted using papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin-treated cells. Antibody titer in serum was tested. PCR amplification and sequencing analysis of 16 exons of ABCG2 gene were conducted. 【Results】 The blood type of the patient were B, RhD positive. The serum reacted with antibody screening/identified cells by indirect antiglobin test(both 2+ ) but not by saline. The agglutination was enhanced after papain treatment (4+ ), but remained unchanged after trypsin and chymotrypsin treatment (2+ ). The IgG titer was 1∶2. The sequencing analysis of ABCG2 gene revealed a homozygous nonsense mutation(c.376C>T, p. Gln126X) in exon 4 of the women. 【Conclusion】 In this case, the development of anti-Jr^a in Jr(a-) mother was stimulated by mother-child serology incompatibility during pregnancy.

【Objective】 To establish an experimental method for detecting phagocytosis of sensitized red blood cells in vitro by flow cytometry. 【Methods】 Mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of blood donors and cultured in a cell incubator for 1 hour, and then adherent monocytes were isolated and obtained. Di^b-positive red blood cells (RBCs) were labeled with PKH26 and then sensitized with IgG anti-Di^b. The sensitized RBCs were added to monocytes for in vitro phagocytosis assay. Monocytes were labeled with FITC anti-human CD14, then phagocytosis was measured by flow cytometry, and the phagocytic efficiency was calculated. The method was used to detect the phagocytic efficiency of monocytes on human IgG anti-D sensitized RBCs with different titers. 【Results】 The phagocytic efficiency of monocytes was averaged at 5% (1.2%~7.6%, SD 3.30) versus 81% (71.4%~92.7%, SD 8.65) in the negative versus positive control group, respectively. Phagocytic activity of monocytes mediated by anti-D was correlated with the antibody titer. The phagocytosis efficiency was within 10% when the antibody titer was lower than 32 and increased sharply when the titer was between 32 to 128, it entered a plateau and stabilized at 80% at the titer above 256. 【Conclusion】 A detection platform for detecting phagocytosis-sensitized RBCs in vitro by flow cytometry has been successfully established. It can be used to assess the clinical significance of red blood cell allotype or autologous IgG antibodies.

【Objective】 To establish a high-throughput detection method for ABCG2^*376T allele of Jr(a-), and apply it to the study of the frequency of this allele in the Chinese population. 【Methods】 The specific primers were designed and synthesized, the sample carrying homozygous ABCG2^*376T alleles, obtained in the previous study, was used as the homozygous positive control, and the sample carrying heterozygous allele as the heterozygous positive control. The wild-type sample was used as a negative control, and a high-resolution melting curve(HRM) method for detecting this allele was established. The established method was used to screen DNA samples from blood donors in Guangzhou, and the samples carrying ABCG2^*376T alleles were sequenced to confirm the accuracy of the HRM method. 【Results】 A HRM method, which can detect ABCG2^*376T allele and accurately type homozygotes and heterozygotes at the same time, had been established successfully. Fifteen individuals with heterozygous alleles were screened out of 1 560 blood donors in Guangzhou, while none homozygous allele was detected. 【Conclusion】 The HRM method can be used to accurately screen and type ABCG2^*376T allele. The frequency of this allele in Chinese population is about 0.48%(15/3120).
