Experiment 3: Basic Principles of Antigen antibody testing Flashcards
foreign molecules that bind specifically to an antibody or TCR
antigens
located on the red cells and protrude from the cell membrane
RBC antigen
protein in nature qith high molecular weight that is b9th antigenic and immunogenic
carrier
nonprotein with low MW and is antigenic but not immunigenic
hapten
carrier plus hapten
complete antigen
concentration and half life of IgM
10 % 5 days
cause intravascular hemolysis bc of efficiency in complement
IgM
components of pretransfusion testing
- ABO typing
- Rh Typing
- antibody screen
- antibody identification
- Crossmatching
acute HTR happens within
<24 hrs
causes extravascular destruction through pahgocytosis
IgG
clear immune complexes, engance phagocytosis, promote neutrophil degranulation
opsonization
increase smooth muscle contraction and inflammation
anaphylaxis
kill foreign antigen by membrane rupture
lysis
recruit platelets and phagocytes
chemotactic
indicative of antigen antibody recognition
agglutination and hemolysis
