Application of MALDI-TOF MS in clinical difficult blood group typing
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2022, Vol 35, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective To explore the application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the genotyping of difficult blood typing samples, and to provide evidence for clinical blood transfusion. Methods Three ambiguous blood group samples, submitted to Shanghai Blood Center by Shanghai regional hospitals, were studied, of which Sample1 included the proband and his parents. Serological methods were used to perform blood group typing, direct antibody test, unexpected antibody screening and identification test. Blood group genotyping was performed by using the MALDI-TOF MS detection systeme stablished in our laboratory. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm gene mutation sites, and serological or flow methods were used to verify specific samples′ phenotype. Results Serological results indicated the existence of antibodies against high frequency antigens in sample 1 (including proband and her mother), 2 and 3. The genotyping results of MALDI-TOF MS showed that the proband of sample 1 was Di(a+ b+ ), her father was Di(a-b+ ), her mother was Di(a+ b-), sample 2 was p, and sample 3 was Jr(a-). Sequencing results of three samples were consistent with mass spectrometry typing results. Serological results showed that sample 2 had a p phenotype. The flow cytometry results suggested that sample 3 had a Jr(a-) phenotype. Conclusion For the first time, we applied MALDI-TOF MS technology to blood type genotyping of ambiguous clinical samples in China. Compared with other genotyping methods such as PCR-SSP, MALDI-TOF MS has the advantages of rapid detection, high throughput and high specificity, which would contribute to identification of difficult blood typing samples in the future, as well as rare blood group screening.
