heme-onc Flashcards
poikilocytosis
RBCs of differing shapes
life span of platelets
8-10 days
leads to petechiae
thrombocytopenia
vWF receptor
GpIb on platelets
fibrinogen receptor
GpIIb/IIIa on platelets
neutrophils with more than 4 lobes indicate
b12/folate decieciency
increase in band cells can indicate
increased myeloid production (bacterial infection, CML)
neutrophil granules contain
alkaline phosphatase, collagenase, lysozyme, lactoferrin
activates macrophages
g-interferon
cell surface marker for macrophages
CD-14
bilobate nucleus with lots of granules
eosinphils
so many granules you can’t see the nucleus
basophils
basophil granules contain
heparin, histamine, leukotriene
eosinphil granules contain
histamine, arylsulfatase
how mast cells cause allergic reaction
binds Fc portion of IgE to membrane. IgE cross-links upon antigen binding, causing degranulation - releasing histamine
prevents mast cell degranulation
cromolyn
dendritic cells express
MHC-II and c receptor
what B cells do when encountering an antigen
differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies and memory cells
cancer of plasma cells
multiple myeloma
off center nucleus, clock-face chromatin distribution, abundant RER and golgi
