Objective: To investigate the application of ABO blood group genotyping in complicated ABO blood group type.

Methods: Ten specimens of complicated ABO blood group were genotyped by sequence specific primer PCR (PCR -SSP), and confirmed by DNA sequencing and alignment. Six hundred and ten blood samples typed by ABO immunoassay were as control of genotyping.

Results: Ten cases of complicated blood type were identified by high resolution PCR- SSP as rare ABO blood groups: cis-AB01 (3 cases), B(A)04 (2 cases), cisAB02, B(A)02, Bel03, Bw12 and Ael05, confirmed by DNA sequencing. Genotyping and serotype detected 610 cases ABO blood group were coincident, and the frequency of A, B, AB and O were as 28.69%, 27.54%, 8.2% and 35.57% respectively. According to the genotypes, the highest frequency subgroup was O1 (32.87%), the lowest was A2 (0.66%).

Conclusion: PCR -SSP could type the ABO blood group accurately, but also the sub-group of blood type. However, special designed high resolution PCR -SSP or DNA sequencing is needed to identify the complicated blood groups.

ABO and RhD blood groups as contributors to dyslipidaemia - a cross-sectional study.

Background: The ABO blood group system has shown an association with cardiovascular disease. The susceptibility to CVD is proposed to be partly mediated by dyslipidaemia in non-O individuals. Previous studies are scarce for the RhD blood group, but we recently showed that RhD - young individuals are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis.

Early precursor-derived pituitary gland tissue-resident macrophages play a pivotal role in modulating hormonal balance.

The pituitary gland is the central endocrine regulatory organ producing and releasing hormones that coordinate major body functions. The physical location of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, though outside the protective blood-brain barrier, leads to an unexplored special immune environment. Using single-cell transcriptomics, fate mapping, and imaging, we characterize pituitary-resident macrophages (pitMØs), revealing their heterogeneity and spatial specialization.

Objectives: Autoantibodies mimicking alloantibodies (referred to as mimicking antibodies) are a type of specific antibody that reacts with all red blood cells, but exhibits a stronger reaction with red blood cells expressing the target antigens. This study aimed to explore immunohematologic methods for identifying mimicking antibodies, autoantibodies and alloantibodies, and to formulate safe transfusion strategies based on the results.

Methods: ABO, Rh blood types and direct antiglobulin test were determined using the tube saline method.

Background: ABO-incompatible liver transplantation (ABOi LT) can now be successfully performed with standard pretransplant induction therapy. For patients with chronic end-stage liver disease (ESLD), ABOi LT can achieve long-term outcomes comparable to those of blood type-compatible (ABOc) LT. Outcomes of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) who undergo urgent transplantation surgery with a limited induction period should be further investigated.

Background: A large, retrospective study was designed to interrogate current NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) HLA matching strategies for the provision of HLA selected platelets (HLA SP) and to determine whether additional factors such as ABO blood group matching, patient diagnosis, patient and/or donor age, sex, ethnicity, age of platelet unit at transfusion and possibly seasonal variation also play a role in transfusion efficacy.

Materials And Methods: Data for 56 640 HLA SP transfusions over a 3-year period were collected. Transfusions with missing data for any factor under consideration were excluded, resulting in a cohort of 13 044 transfusions for analysis.
