Anti Human Globulin Test ( Chapter 5 ) Flashcards
Anti Human Globulin Test is also known as
Coomb’s Test
This antibodies are also termed as nonagglutinating or incomplete antibodies
IgG antibodies
Where does the AHG binds ?
It binds to the Human Globulins such as IgG or Complement either in free serum or attached to the antigen of the RBC
In what year does Coombs and associate describe the use of the antiglobulin test for the detection of weak and nonagglutinating Rh antibodies in serum
1945
What is the purpose of Absorption in the procedure for AHG
To remove heterospecific antibodies
What is the purpose of Dilution in the procedure for AHG
to avoid prozone
First Blood Group System that were reported only weeks after Coomb’s had described the test
Kell Blood Group System
It is based on the principle that antihuman globulins obtained from immunized nonhuman species bind to human globulins
Anti-Human Globulin Test/Coomb’s Test
First to describe the principle of Coomb’s Test
Moreschi 1908
Early AHG reagents were prepared using a crude globulin fraction as the _____.
Immunogen
Presented the first indication that there might be another antibody activity present that influenced the final reaction in AHG test
Dacie 1951
The AHGT can be used to detect RBC sensitized with _____ , _______ and ___________
IgG alloantibodies , IgG autoantibodies and complement components.
In AHG reactivity cell sensitized with cold antibodies is resulted from what type of Globulin Activity
Anti-NonGamma Globulin activity
In AHG reactivity cell sensitized with warm antibodies is resulted from what type of Globulin Activity
Anti-Gamma Globulin activity
NonGamma Globulin component is believe to be what type of globulin
Beta Globulin
The use of AHG to detect in vitro sensitization of RBC’s in two-stage technique is referred as
Indirect Anti-Globulin Test
In vivo sensitization is detected by one stage procedure called
Direct Anti-Globulin Test

A technology that can be used to produced monoclonal antiglobulin serum.
Hybridoma Technology
Are derived from one clone of plasma cells and recognize a single epitope
Monoclonal antibodies
Who devised the monoclonal antibody technique
Kohler and Milstein
The only IgG subclass that has no clinical significance in AHG test
IgG4
If large volume is needed in Polyclonal AHG technique what animal would you use?
Goat or Sheep
