Description

The IH antibody is one of the I antibodies that can recognize modified branched oligosaccharides that express extra blood group antigens. I antibodies are commonly present in the serum of healthy adults, and the IH antibody is frequently detected in the serum of blood group A1 individuals. Blood groups O and A2 both have a generous amount of H antigen on their red cell surfaces which react strongly with anti-IH. The presence of anti-IH in a blood group A patient serum may be surmised if the serum agglutinate all group O red cells, but is compatible with the majority of group A donor cells.[AABB Technical Manual, p.308] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
