Coombs Test Flashcards
Sensitization of red cell can occur
in vitro or in vivo
The use of AHG serum to detect sensitization of red cell in vitro can be
DAT and IAT
Sensitization of rbc may be with
Igg or complement
In prder for agglutination to occur an additional of
Anti antibody or anti complement
In order for agglutination to occur up addition of anti ab or anti compelemnt which reacts with
Fc portion of igg ab or with c3b or c3d component of compelement
This will form a bridge between the Ab or complement coating the red cell causing what
Agglutination
The coating of red cell can occur in vivo or in vitro incubating at and with what
37 deg and with serum containing Ab
Injecting human serum or purified globulin into rabbits goats or sheep
Classic method or hyperimmunization of rabits
The rabbits produce what
Ab to human globulin or anti Igg or against human complement or anti complement
This results to the production of polyclonal Ab which recognize different epitopes
Classic method or hyperimmunization of rabbit
This can be used to produce monoclonak ab which are derived from one clone of plasma and recognize a single epitope
Hybridoma technology or kohler and milstein echnique
Lab animals in hybridoma techniques used what
Rats
These rats are immuniEd with
Purofied human globulin
After suitable immune response i hybridoma technique mouse spleen containing ah secreting lymphocytes are fused with
Myeloma cells
Are scree for ab with the required specificity and affinity
Hybridomas
The ab secreti clones are then propagated in tissue culture or inoculating into mice in which case the ab is collected as
Ascites
Types of AHG Rgt
Polyspecific anti human globulin
Monospecific rgts
Anti igg alone or anti c3b-c3d alone
Monospecific rgt
Blend of anti igg and anti c3b c3d
Polyspecific anti human globulin
Strong complement activator
Igm
Igm coating of cells comes from the presence of
C3 coating the cells
In dat cells are coated
Invivo
Cells are washed to remove
Unbound globulin
Addition of anti human globulin promotes
Agglutination after centri
Detects in vivo sensitization of rbc with igg or complement components
Dat
Clin condition that can cause invivo coaating of rbc with ab or complements are
Hdn
Htr
Autoimmune HA and drug induced HA
