Background: The dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 blood group is considered as the most immunogenic and clinically important in dogs. Little is known in nondomesticated canids.
Objectives: To type DEA 1 in nondomesticated captive canids and to evaluate potential interspecific blood transfusions between domestic and nondomestic canids.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to update the prevalence of different feline blood types in the Lyon (France) area, as well as to determine the risk of mismatched transfusion (MT) and neonatal isoerythrolysis (NI) in kittens with parents of unknown blood type.
Methods: Blood samples were obtained from blood donor cats and cats admitted to an intensive care unit in Lyon. AB blood typing was performed using an immunochromatographic strip.
Background: Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions because of dog erythrocyte antigen (DEA) 1 sensitization after mismatched transfusions are serious complications. Dog erythrocyte antigen 1 expression varies from negative to weakly to strongly positive.
Objectives: To assess alloimmunization after transfusion of weakly DEA 1+ blood to a DEA 1- dog.
Article Synopsis
- Blood typing for A and B antigens is crucial for safe blood transfusions in cats, and the study evaluates two different crossmatch tests for compatibility.
- In a study with 49 healthy domestic shorthair cats, two methods (gel column and antiglobulin-enhanced gel column) were used for crossmatching, showing a significant correlation in results and highlighting the presence of strong anti-A alloantibodies in type B cats.
- The findings suggest that immunochromatographic typing is as reliable as flow cytometry, and while both crossmatching methods showed good compatibility, the AGC method revealed additional incompatibilities that could be important for transfusion safety.
