Antihumanglobulin Test Flashcards
Reactivity of AHG to cells sensitized with warm antibodies resulted:
Anti-gamma globulin fraction
Direct antiglobulin test is also called
One-stage procedure
Early AHG reagent were prepared using
Crude globulin fraction
Reactivity of AHG to cells sensitized with cold antibodies resulted:
Anti-nongamma globulin fraction
The nongamma globulin component was shown to be:
Beta globulin fraction
Antiglobulin reagent can either be:
Monospecific or Polyspecific
Polyspecific
It contain an antibody to human IgG and to the C3d component of human complement
Also called as a two-stage technique
Indirect antiglobulin test
Reagent labeled with anti-IgG contain
no anticomplement activity
Monospecific reagent contain
only one antibody specificity: either anti-IgG or antibody to specific complement component
Anti-IgG contain antibodies specifc to
Fc fragment of the gamma heavy chain
If reagent not labeled with “gamma heavy chain-specific” it may contain:
Anti-light chain specificity
Anti-light chain specificity react with cells sensitized with
IgM, IgA and IgG
The final degradation step has shown to occur:
in-vivo
Hemagglutination; indicates..
that the RBC’s had been sensitized by an antibody that had reacted with an antigen present os cell surface
