| RBCs can be frozen for | 10 years |
| What is the minimum number of platelets required in apheresis component (90% of the sampled units) | 3x10 to the power of 11 |
| Whole blood and RBC units are stored at what temperature? | 1-6 degrees Celsius |
| Additive solutions are approved for storage of RBCs for how many days? | 42 days |
| One criterion used by the FDA for approval of new preservation solutions and storage containers is an average of 24-hour post-transfusion RBC survival of more than: | 75% |
| What is the lowest allowable pH for a platelet component outdate? | 6.2 |
| Frozen and thawed RBCs processed in an open system can be stored for how many days/hours? | 24 hours |
| What is the hemoglobin source for hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers in advanced clinical setting? | Bovine and Human hemoglobin |
| What occurs during storage of RBCs? | pH decreases |
| Nucleic acid amplification testing is used to test donor blood for? | HCV HIV West Nile virus |

| Prestorage pooled platelets can be stored for: | 5 days |
| What is most common cause of bacterial contamination of platelet products? | Entry of skin plugs into the collection bag |
| What best describes mitosis? | Genetic material is duplicated, equally divided between two daughter cells |
| When a recessive trait is expressed, it means that: | Two genes carrying the trait were present. |
| In a pedigree, the "index case" is another name for: | Propositus |
| What are the four nitrogenous bases of DNA? | Adenine Cytosine Guanine Thymine |
| What phenotype(s) could not result from the mating of a Jk(a+b+) female and a Jk(a-b+) male? | Jk(a-b-) |
| Exon refers to: | The coding region of a gene. |
| PCR technology can be used to: | Amplify small amounts of DNA |
| Transcription can be defined as: | Synthesis of RNA using DNA as template. |
| When a male possesses a phenotypic trait that he passes to all his daughters and none of his sons, the trait is said to be: | X-linked dominant |
| When a female possesses a phenotypic trait that she passes to all of her sons and none of her daughters, the trait is said to be: | X-linked recessive |
| DNA is replicated to: | Semiconservatively from DNA |
| RNA is processed: | after RNA is copied from protein on ribosomes |
| Translation of proteins from RNA takes place: | On the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell |
| Meiosis is necessary to: | Generate new DNA sequences in daughter cells |
| Proteins and peptides are composed of: | Linear arrangements of amino acids |
| Patient cells with Anti-A 4+ Anti-B 4+ A1 cells NEGATIVE B cells NEGATIVE What is the patient's blood type? | AB |
| The major immunoglobulin class of anti-B in a group A individual is: | IgM |
| What are the possible ABO phenotypes of the offspring from the mating of a group A to group B individual? | O,A,B |
| What ABH substance(s) would be found in the saliva of group B secretor? | H and A |
| What ABO blood group contains the least amount of H substance? | A1B |
| An example of a technical error that can result in an ABO discrepancy is: | Cell suspension is too heavy |
| What best describes Lewis antibodies? | IgM, naturally occuring, do not cause HDFN |
| The Le gene codes for a specific glycosyltransferase that transfers a fucose to the N-acetylglucosamine on: | Type 1 precursor chain |
| What substances would be found in the saliva of a group B secretor who also has Lele genes? | H,B,LeB |
| Transformation to Lewis B phenotype after birth may be as follows: | Le(a-b-) to Le(a+b-) to Le(a+b+) to Le(a-b+) |
| In what way do the Lewis antigens change during pregnancy? | Lewis A and B decreases |
| A type 1 chain has: | The terminal galactose in a 1-3 linkage to subterminal N-acetylglucosamine |
| What best describes Lewis antigens? | The antigens are integral membrane proteins. |
| What genotype would explain RBCs typed as group A Le (a+b-)? | A/A LeLe hh sese |
| What best describes MN antigens and antibodies? | Well developed at birth, susceptible to enzymes, generally saline reactive |
| What autoantibody specificity is found in patients with Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglubinuria? | Anti-P |
