Description
The evolution of molecular typing has given the industry new perspectives on the incidence and distribution of the individual antigens within the blood group systems. This program will describe the structure and function of molecules that carry red cell antigens and share what is being uncovered relative to the incidence of variants in different populations. The impact of mutations on the structure of known blood group antigens and implications for the practice of transfusion medicine will be discussed. .
- Cite the incidence of the antigen in the population, describing ethnic relationships.
- Describe how new protein modeling tools contribute to understanding structural changes to blood group antigens and impact production of antibodies.
- Discuss the physiologic functions of the proteins that carry blood group antigens in the red cells and other tissues.
