Blood Bank
History , Genetics and ABO System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Karl Landsteiner | Discovered ABO system |
| Immunity | host organism protects itself from attacks by both external and internal agents |
| IgG antibodies | most clinically significant. Reacts at 37. activate complement and HDN |
| IgM | Naturally occurring. Room temp or colder. |
| IgA | Can result in anaphylaxis |
| Pathways of complement pathway | Classical, alternative,Lectin |
| DAT Direct antiglobulin Testing | in vivo-in body. Involves detecting IgG antibodies. used for HDN,Transfusion rxn. autoimmune hemolytic anemia. |
| IAT Indirect antigloublin testing. | in vitro. detect blood group antibodies,prenatal. preventative testing. |
| Amorph | Silent gene |
| Dosage | antibody reacts more strongly with a red cell antigen due to homozygous expression |
| Autosomal Recessive | homozygotes who have the gene from both parent. |
| incompatible ABO type results in | almost immediate lysis of donor RBC |
| Antibody is in | Serum |
| Antigen in on | the RBC |
| H antigen produces | transferase |
| what is hh | bombay phenotype denoted Oh |
| Group A sugar is on the RBC | N-acetyl-D-glactosamine |
| Group B sugar is on the RBC | D-galactose |
| Group O | L-fucose |
| Which group has the least amount of H anitgen | A1B |
| Which group has the greatest amount of H antigen | O |
| Lectins used in Blood bank are | Dolichos Bifouros A1 Ulex europeaus H |
| What are the group 1 disrepancies for reverse typing due to weakly reacting or missing antibodies | newborns, elderly, leukemia patients,immosupressive drugs,burn patients, ABO Sub groups. (resolve by heating) |
| What is chimerism | 2 cell populations in one person. Bone marrow patients, fetal maternial bleed |
