(Ways RBC can become foreign antigens)

(Transfusion reaction)

  1. Anitbodies bind to what?
  2. then what happens?
  3. These antibodies can also activate what? do what?
  4. 1st transfusion problem in dogs? 2nd? how bout 1st in cats and humans? why?
A
  1. non-self, blood group antigens (eg A, B, AB, O)
  2. macrophages and neutrophils have FcyRI and eath the RBC
  3. complement; poke holes in RBC
  4. nope; yep; yep (it is a problem); immune system gets shown to carb structures on microorganisms that are similar to RBC carbs (natural antibodies)
