every 48 hr
24 per year
must collect blood from donor within ——-
15 min
autologous donation interval
no more than 72 hours between donations and before procedure
directed donor requirement if blood relative
irradiated
examples of fractionation products
RhIg
IVIg
albumin
ensures blood products are consistently manufactured to a quality appropriate for their intended use
cGMP
platelet product QC
- bacterial contamination
- absolute plt count
- pH
leukocyte reduced blood QC
- absolute wbc count
- rbc recovery
most blood group antigens are expressed as ————
codominant
amorphic gene with no detectable product
O gene
L-fucose
H antigen
N-acetylgalactosamine
A antigen
D-galactose
B antigen
hh genotype
anti-H
Bombay
states that if an individual has an antigen, they will not have the antibody
Landsteiner’s rule
most common blood group
O
Se gene
secretor
A & B antigens are found in secretions
GI problem
sugar cleaved off of A antigen
acquired B antigen
found in A group people
weak reverse group
infants
elderly
immune deficient
ABO discrepancy caused by transfusion, transplant or subgroup
mixed field
resolve weak reverse testing
extended incubation
C is trans to D in Dce/dCe haplotype
weak D
most severe cause of HDFN
Rh system
anti-D,C
present with D or C
G antigen
c and e in cis position
f antigen
give ——— blood to a person who has anti-f
c=
normal circulating blood volume
5 L
cause platelet refractoriness
HLA Ab and platelet Ab
nucleated RBC in fetal circulation from increased production due to hemolysis
erythroblastosis fetalis
mildest HDFN
ABO
HDFN that does not reflect alloimmunization in mother
ABO
blood requirements for IUT
O neg
antigen neg for mom’s Ab

qualitative test for fetal-maternal hemorrhage
fetal rosette test
quantitative test for fetal-maternal hemorrhage
kleihauer betke
based on the principle that fetal hgb is resistant to acid elution
KB test
irradiation prevents…
GVHD
leukocyte reduction prevents…
HLA alloimmunization
CMV infection
febrile rxns
possible causes for ABS+
- Ab to specific Ag
- passive anti-D
- cold agglutinins
- cold or warm autoAb
- rouleaux
when to do AHG XM
- ABS+ at IS
- previously detected clinically significant Ab
possible causes for incompatible XM
- wrong sample
- wrong ABO type
- Ab present (allo, auto, low-freq)
- DAT+ unit (discard)
antibodies that will not be detected at ABS, but will be during XM
anti low-freqs
when do neonates start making AB?
4-6 months
pretransfusion testing for neonate
- ABO forward
- Rh
- ABS/ABID on mother’s specimen
when to use a selected cell panel for ABID
- previously ID’d antibody
- rule-outs after a full panel
antigen is acquired from the plasma, onto the RBC surface
Lewis
DAT detects…
in vivo sensitization of rbcs with Ig and/or C’
enzymes used in blood bank
ficin
papain
Ag typing sera made from plants
lectins
Dolichos biflorus
A1 lectin
used in BB to remove Ab from the serum
adsorption
autoadsorption can only be performed if…
pt has not been transfused in the last 3 months
maternal titrations for RBC Ab begun when and performed when?
begun at 16-22 weeks
performed every 1-4 weeks
used to diminish or destroy IgM reactivity to reveal IgG reactivity
thiol reagents (DTT, 2-ME)
dithiothreitol
DTT —used to destroy IgM reactivity and reveal IgG
destroys Kell antigens
DTT
2-ME
DDT + ficin
ZZAP
removes IgG & C3 from DAT+ rbcs
removes antibody from DAT+ cells
ZZAP
chloroquine diphosphate
EGA
samples in BB expire after —– days, and are kept for —– days after last possible transfusion
