Blood Group Systems
ISBT № | System name | System symbol | Epitope or carrier, notes | Chromosome |
---|---|---|---|---|
001 | ABO | ABO | Carbohydrate (N-Acetylgalactosamine, galactose). A, B and H antigens mainly elicit IgM antibody reactions, although anti-H is very rare, see the Hh antigen system (Bombay phenotype, ISBT #18). | 9 |
002 | MNS | MNS | GPA / GPB (glycophorins A and B). Main antigens M, N, S, s. | 4 |
003 | P | P1 | Glycolipid. Antigen P1. | 22 |
004 | Rh | RH | Protein. C, c, D, E, e antigens (there is no "d" antigen; lowercase "d" indicates the absence of D). | 1 |
005 | Lutheran | LU | Protein (member of the immunoglobulin superfamily). Set of 21 antigens. | 19 |
006 | Kell | KEL | Glycoprotein. K1 can cause hemolytic disease of the newborn (anti-Kell), which can be severe. | 7 |
007 | Lewis | LE | Carbohydrate (fucose residue). Main antigens Lea and Leb - associated with tissue ABH antigen secretion. | 19 |
008 | Duffy | FY | Protein (chemokine receptor). Main antigens Fya and Fyb. Individuals lacking Duffy antigens altogether are immune to malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi. | 1 |
009 | Kidd | dbMHC | Protein (urea transporter). Main antigens Jka and Jkb. | 18 |
010 | Diego | DI | Glycoprotein (band 3, AE 1, or anion exchange). Positive blood is found only among East Asians and Native Americans. | 17 |
011 | Yt or Cartwright | YT | Protein (AChE, acetylcholinesterase). | 7 |
012 | XG | XG | Glycoprotein. | X |
013 | Scianna | SC | Glycoprotein. | 1 |
014 | Dombrock | DO | Glycoprotein (fixed to cell membrane by GPI, or glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol). | 12 |
015 | Colton | CO | Aquaporin 1. Main antigens Co(a) and Co(b). | 7 |
016 | Landsteiner-Wiener | LW | Protein (member of the immunoglobulin superfamily). | 19 |
017 | Chido/Rodgers | CH/RG | C4A C4B (complement fractions). | 6 |
018 | Hh/Bombay | H | Carbohydrate (fucose residue). | 19 |
019 | Kx | XK | Glycoprotein. | X |
020 | Gerbich | GE | GPC / GPD (Glycophorins C and D). | 2 |
021 | Cromer | CROM | Glycoprotein (DAF or CD55, regulates complement fractions C3 and C5, attached to the membrane by GPI). | 1 |
022 | Knops | KN | Glycoprotein (CR1 or CD35, immune complex receptor). | 1 |
023 | Indian | IN | Glycoprotein (CD44 adhesion function?). | 11 |
024 | Ok | OK | Glycoprotein (CD147). | 19 |
025 | Raph | MER2 | Transmembrane glycoprotein. | 11 |
026 | JMH | JMH | Protein (fixed to cell membrane by GPI). | 6 |
027 | Ii | I | Branched (I) / unbranched (i) polysaccharide. | 6 |
028 | Globoside | GLOB | Glycolipid. Antigen P. | 3 |
029 | GIL | GIL | Aquaporin 3. | 9 |
030 | Rh-associated glycoprotein | RHAG | Rh-associated glycoprotein. | 6 |
Langereis | LAN | ABCB6. Porphyrin transporter | 2 | |
Junior | JR | ABCG2. Multi-drug transporter protein | 4 |

Famous quotes containing the words blood, group and/or systems:
“Behold that great Plotinus swim
Buffeted by such seas;
Bland Rhadamanthus beckons him,
But the Golden Race looks dim,
Salt blood blocks his eyes.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, Dont do that, You will interfere with our prosperity. And when we ask: where is our prosperity lodged? a certain group of gentlemen say, With us.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.”
—Anne Sullivan (18661936)
