Immunology Exam2
Term | Definition |
---|---|
IgG | can cross placenta, monomer, 37C, secondary response |
IgM | primary response, pentamer, 22C |
IgA | secretions, allergies |
Antigen | substance that combines with an antibody |
Allele | alternate gene |
Immunoglobulin | protein secreted by plasma cell |
Complement | proteins attached to RBCs |
IgM and IgG | most common antibodies |
AHG | prevents potential errors when typing |
Dolichos Biflorus | reacts with A1 |
Ulex Europaeus | reacts with H |
Vicia Graminea | reacts with N |
Iberis Amara | reacts with M |
Rh and Duffy | chromosome 1 |
MNS | chromosome 4 |
Kell | chromosome 7 |
ABO | chromosome 9 |
Kidd | chromosome 18 |
Lewis | chromosome 19 |
P | chromosome 22 |
Dosage | antibody reacts stronger with homozygous antigen than with heterozygous antigen |
Hemolysis | destruction of RBCs, indicates positive result |
LISS | decreases ionic strength, increasing antibody uptake rate |
BSA | allows antibody-sensitized cells closer together |
PEG | removes water molecules |
Screening cells | detect unexpected antibodies, type O to possess relevant antigens |
IgM cold antibodies | cause intravascular hemolysis |
Rh null stomatocytes | Membrane abnormality that shortens RBC survival |
LW | reacts with O pos, patient given Rh neg blood |
Duffy | possible reason for black population resistance to malaria |
Miltenberger | group closely related to MNS system |
McLeod syndrome | no Kx antigen, reduced expression of other Kell antigens |
Autoanti-P | causes PCH |
P1 | hydatid cyst fluid antibody |
Kidd | delayed transfusion reactions |
High-titer, low avidity antibodies (HTLA) | detected at AHG phase, Chido (Cha) and Rodgers (Rga) |
Antibodies to medication | suspected if nothing is found in elution |
Low incidence antigens | antibody screen neg, but incompatible crossmatch |
Adsorption | removing antibodies from serum |
Elution | removing antibodies from RBCs |
IAT | determines if antibodies to RBC antigens have been produced |
DAT | determines whether auto or allo antibodies are present |
Destroyed by enzymes | Fya, Fyb, S, M, N |
Enhanced by enzymes | Rh, Kidd, Lewis |
Allogenic | donation to general pool |
Autologous | donation by patient for their own use later on |
Segment | where blood is obtained for crossmatch |
Landsteiner's Rule | if an antigen is not present on the cells then the corrosponding antibody will not be present in the patients plasma |
1-10C | temp at which blood is shipped |
5.5x10^10 | amount of PLTs that must be present per unit |
ABO | blood group associated with intravascular hemolysis |
Glycerol | protects against cell damage |
Bacterial contamination in blood | P. Flourescens, P. Putida, Y. Enterocolitica, E. Cloacae |
3-4 days | transfusion time limit (effective limit) |
IgG | involved in HDN |
Rhogam | suppresses immune response |
Rosette test (fetalscreen) | Fetomaternal hemorrhage screen |
Kleihauer Betke test | quantify number of fetal cells in maternal circulation |
Intrauterine transfusions | correct anemia, prevent heart failure |
