The clinically significant antibodies are those active at 37°C and/or by the indirect antiglobulin test. Most of the published literature refers to antibodies of Lewis blood group system to be insignificant, whereas antibodies to M and N blood groups are associated with variable clinical significance. Aims:

Antibodies against only about 25-28 blood group antigens are known to cause hemolytic reactions (HTRs), and red cell antibody screening should detect such clinically significant antibodies. An extension of the antibody screening test is the ‘type and screen’ done to detect clinically significant antibodies, omiting the anti-human globulin …

Describe the changes in Lewis phenotypes and presence of Lewis antibodies during pregnancy and clinical significance. Given results of a secretor inhibition study, correctly interpret whether substances are present or not present. Based on these results, apply your knowledge of gene interaction to identify the likely Le, Se, and ABH genes present.

Lewis antibodies of the IgM class reacting at 37°C should be regarded as clinically important. The present study findings urge that the lab personnel look for the thermal amplitude of Lewis antibodies, irrespective of the fact that the antibody class and antigen-negative crossmatch compatible units …

Genetics/phenotypes The three above-stated common Lewis phenotypes represent the presence or absence of Lewis and Secretor enzymes. [citation needed] Le (a+b-) individuals have at least one functional Lewis gene (Le) but are homozygous for nonfunctional Secretor alleles (sese).

Anti-Le a, anti-Le b, and anti-Le ab are not clinically significant. Patients with anti-Le a, anti-Le b, and anti-Le ab should receive red blood cell units crossmatch compatible by IAT at 37ºC for transfusion. Patients with sickle cell disease who have a nti-Lea, anti-Leb, or anti-Leab should be provided with antigen-negative units for transfusion.

1 avr. 2023Lewis antibodies have been thought to play a small role in clinical transfusion practice, but recent reports suggest that they have gained more importance in the context of transfusion and transplantation. Data regarding the prevalence of Lewis antibodies and their clinical significance in the Indian context is very limited.

Anti-Lewis antibodies, usually do not react at 37°C, hence are clinically insignificant. However, on rare occasions, these antibodies have been reported as the cause for hemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR). AIM: We report our experience on the 6 cases of anti-Lewis antibodies that reacted at room temperature (RT) and at 37°C.
