The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
The H gene appears to be necessary for the formation of
A and B Ags. It is very common 99.9% of all individuals
have an HH or Hh genotype.
The allele h is very rare and does not produce the LFucose transferase necessary for formation of the HStructure.
The genotype (hh) or H null is extremely rare and is
known as the Bombay Phenotype or Oh.

H Antigen
The H gene codes for an enzyme (fucosylytranferase)
that adds a Fucose to the terminal sugar of a Precursor
Substance (PS*). The biochemical structure below
constitutes the H Antigen. (h gene is an amorph.)
H gene acts on
a Precursor
substance(PS)*
by adding
Fucose
drmsaiem
*PS = oligosaccharide chain
attached to either glycosphingolipid, Type 2 chain (on RBC) or
glycoprotein, Type 1 chain (in
secretions)
H antigen is the foundation upon which A and B
antigens are built.
A and B genes code for enzymes that add an
immunodominant sugar to the H antigen.
O allele does not code a functional enzyme

The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
The Bombay Phenotype was first reported by Bhende
1952 in Bombay, India.
Bombay cells can not be converted to group A or B by the
specific transferases.
This support the concept that the H structure serves as
the acceptor molecule or precursor substance for the
product of the A or B gene -specified tranferases.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
Bombay individuals lack all normal expression of the A,
B, or O genes they inherited.
The Bombay Phenotype Red Cells are devoid of normal A
B, H Ags.
Fail to react with anti- A, anti -B , and anti -A,B and anti H.
Bombay Serum contains anti-A, -B and anti-H.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
The Bombay anti-H is active over a wide thermal range. It is an IgM
antibody that can bind complement and cause red cell lysis.
Because the H Ag is common to all ABO blood group, Bombay blood
is incompatible with all ABO donors.
In routine forward grouping, using anti-A, anti-B, and anti-AB. The
Bombay would phenotype as an O blood group. However,
transfusing normal group O would cause immediate cell lysis by the
potent anti-H of the Bombay individuals.
Thus, only blood from another Bombay individual can be transfused
to a Bombay recipient.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
Oh (hh) individuals are all non-secretors of ABH
substances, because both the H gene and the Se gene
must be inherited for the ABH antigens to be found in
secretions.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
Proof that individual lacks the H antigen may be
accomplished by typing the Bombay phenotype red cells
with a products of the plant Ulex Europacus or with sera
containing Anti-H activity from which all anti-A, anti-AB
activity has been adsorbed (Removal of Abs)
This plant lectin provide a much simple and more readily
available source of anti-H like activity. Thus this plant
must used to determine the presence or absence of the H
antigen on the surface of RBCs
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
General Characteristics of Bombay Oh (Hnull Phenotypes)
1. Absence of H, A, and B antigens; NO agglutination with
anti-A, anti-B, or anti-H lectin
2. Presence of anti-A, anti-B, anti-A,B and a potent wide
thermal range of anti-H in the serum
3. A, B, H non-secretor (no A, B, or H substances present in
saliva)
4. Absence of α-2-L-fucosyltransferase (H enzyme) in
serum and H antigen on red cells
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
5- Presence of A or B enzymes in serum
6- Strong reactivity with anti-I reagents (possibly owing to
an increase in number of I receptors)
7. A recessive mode of inheritance.
8. Red cells of the Bombay phenotype (Oh will not react
with the anti-H lectin (Ulex europaeus)
9. Red cells of the Bombay phenotype (Oh are compatible
only with the serum from another Bombay individual.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
The Bombay phenotype can been divided into four
different categories that depend on the inheritance of the
alleles of H (hh) are responsible for the variable
expression of H and in turn A and B antigens.
Category I: Classic Bombay
This group arises from the inheritance of the hh
genotypes. These cells lack all H antigen and react
stronger with examples of anti-I.

The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
Category 2: Deficient Bombay Non –Secretors
The red cells of these individuals have a slight amount of
ABH antigens that are primarily detected by adsorption
and elution (removal of Ab) studies.
Category 3: H-Deficient Bombay Secretor
Recessive Inheritance
These Bombay secretors arise out of the inheritance of a
double dose of the recessive gene.
drmsaiem
The Bombay Phenotypes (Oh)
Category 4: H-Deficient Bombay Secretors
Dominant Inheritance
These persons inherit H-deficient red cells via a
dominant gene; however, they contain normal ABH
substance if they are secretors.
