Question
Answer
genotype   sequence DNA that is inherited/can't see  
🗑
phenotype   anything produced by the genotype/expressions of the genotype/can see  
🗑
what are the antigens present on all blood cells   phenotype  
🗑
what controls which antigens may be expressed on a cell   genotype  
🗑
genes   carried on chromosomes located at the locus  
🗑
how many pairs of chromosomes do humans have   23 pairs/ 22 pairs are autosomes and the 23rd is the sex chromosomes  
🗑
haploid   1/2 of each pair of chromosomes  
🗑
X chromosome   female  
🗑
Y chromosome   male  
🗑
chromosomes are made up of   DNA  
🗑
alleles   various forms of the same gene  
🗑
homozygous   when both chromosomes of a pair have the same gene/ 2 identical alleles  
🗑
heterozygous   when 1 chromosome of a pair carries 1 allele and the other a differ allele/ 2 differ alleles  
🗑
amorph   "silent gene" does not produce any obvious, easily detectable antigen  
🗑
dosage   when an antibody reacts more strongly with a red cell antigen due to homozygous gene expression vs. heterozygous gene expression  
🗑
gene linkage   when 2 genes are located close together on a chromosome/travel together  
🗑
Mendelian genetics   Mendel-studied flower color, seed shape, color and appearance  
🗑
Punnett Squares   diagrams used by scientists to help them figure out how inherited traits will be distributed  
🗑
Mendel's first law   Law of independent segregation/independent traits inherited independently/single traits can be passed from generation to generation  
🗑
codominance   both alleles are expressed and their gene products are seen at the phenotypic level (lab)  
🗑
Mendel's second law   Law of independent assortment/genes for differ traits are inherited separately from each other  
🗑
autosomal dominant inheritance   alleles are carried on any autosome/trait appears every generation/equally in males & females  
🗑
autosomal recessive   only in homozygotes who have the recessive gene/usually skips a generation/males & females equally affected  
🗑
X-linked inheritance   dominant & recessive/ both male & females will express x-linked trait if they carry 1 gene/ recessive by all males/ females express the recessive trait if they are homozygous for the gene  
🗑
Immunohematology   study or science of blood group antigens and antibodies  
🗑
blood banking   storing or banking of blood for later use  
🗑
transfusion medicine   dealing with transfusion of the blood and blood products  
🗑
Karl Landsteiner   discovered the ABO system  
🗑
2 major developments in transfusion medicine   1.Karl Landsteiner -ABO system 2.how to prevent blood from clotting outside the body  
🗑
immunity   host organism protects itself from attacks by both external and internal agents  
🗑
immune response   ability of an individual to respond to a foreign substance  
🗑
factors that affect the immune response   1.Type of antigen 2.Amount or dose of antigen 3.Route of entry 4.Immunological condition of the host  
🗑
What are the most common ways a person may be exposed to RBC antigens   transfusions and pregnancy  
🗑
blood bank antigens   located on surface of RBC's/some are carbohydrate based and protrude/ others are lipoproteins and are imbedded  
🗑
antigen   is a substance that induces the formation of antibodies  
🗑
antibodies   immunoglobulins/in the gamma globulin portion of plasma or serum/bind foreign molecules called antigens/1 antibody reacts to 1 antigen  
🗑
What are the most significant antibodies in blood bank testing   IgG, IgM, IgA  
🗑
IgG   most clinically significant/reacts at body temp/capable of crossing the placenta/ capable of destroying transfused antigen pos RBC's  
🗑
IgM   most naturally occurring/reacts at room temp/ can mask detection of more dangerous IgG antibodies during testing  
🗑
IgA   30% of anti-a and anti-b antibodies are IgA/ can result in anaphylaxis if present in transfused plasma products  
🗑
complement   complex group of proteins that have a multitude of functions within the immune response: lysis of cells, bacteria, and viruses; phagocytosis; mediate inflammatory and immune response.  
🗑
What are the pathways of complement activation   Classical, Alternate, and Lectin  
🗑
Classical pathway   activated by the binding of antigen with IgM or IgG antibodies  
🗑
Alternate pathway   activated by high molecular weight molecules found on the surface of foreign matter  
🗑
Lectin pathway   activated by the attachment of mannose-binding lectin to microbes  
🗑
Antigen-antibody reactions   "visualize" agglutination, precipitation, neutralization, hemolysis, fluorescent bonding, radioimmunoassay  
🗑
agglutination   primary method used in blood bank  
🗑
What are the 2 stages in the Agglutination process   1. Sensitization 2. agglutination  
🗑
sensitization stage   attaching the antibody to the antigen. Can't see  
🗑
What are factors that can affect sensitization   temp, pH of the medium, incubation time, ionic strength, Ag-Ab ratio  
🗑
agglutination stage   driving the sensitized cells together to form a lattice structure of agglutination by centrifuging. Can see  
🗑
Zeta potential   energy between 2 charged particles  
🗑
What is a strong positive reaction that indicates an Ag-Ab reaction has occurred   Hemolysis  
🗑
Acrylamide gel column technology   controlled centrifugation of red cells through a dextranacrylamide gel/ single cells can get through gel (negative), clumped cant (positive)  
🗑
solid phase adherence   used to detect & identify antigen or antibody/ consists of chemically modified microplates that are coated with antibody or red cells  
🗑
Immunoglobulin testing   Involves detecting human immunoglobulin attached to a blood group antigen an the surface of a RBC (sensitization)  
🗑
What is one of the most important testing methods in blood bank   Immunoglobulin testing  
🗑
Immunoglobulin testing principle   relies on the fact that AGH found in rabbits will react with human globulin or antibody/ if it attaches to the red cell antigen, agglutination will occure  
🗑
DAT   Direct antiglobulin testing/ in vivo antibody sensitization/ IgG antibodies  
🗑
IAT   Indirect antiglobulin testing/ in vitro sensitization of RBC with blood group antibodies/ take RBC and add antibodies into a test tube  
🗑
