16
Q

frozen RBCs must be ____ before freezing

A

coated in protective glycerol

17
Q

rejuvenation solutions

A

used for rare units
rejuvesol
regenerates ATP and 2,3 DPG

18
Q

Agglutination

A

clumping of particulate matter from interaction of Ab and Ag

19
Q

agglutinin

A

antibody that agglutinates cells

20
Q

agglutinogen

A

substance that stimulates production of agglutinin
acts as an antigen

21
Q

sensitization of agglutination

A

antibody attachment
equilibrium constant

22
Q

equilibrium constant

A

amount of Ab-Ag @ equilibrium
the higher the constant the higher the rate of association
affected by [ ] of Ab & Ag

23
Q

lattice formation of agglutination

A

formation of bridges between sensitized cells

24
Q

antibody specificity

A

primary determinant
type of Ab (IgM way better more connecting points- IgG not as good)

25
Q

antigen antibody ratio

A

affects speed and antibody uptake
increase Ab = increased sensitivity

26
Q

factors affecting sensitization

A

antibody specificity
antigen-antibody ratio
pH
temperature
incubation time
ionic repulsion

27
Q

factors affecting lattice formation

A

zeta potential
enzymes
antihuman globulin
additional reagents

28
Q

pH (sensitization)

A

optimal pH 7.0

29
Q

temperature (sensitization)

A

IgM perform best when below 37C
IgG perform best @ 37
C

30
Q

incubation time (sensitization)

A

time allows for Ab uptake

31
Q

ionic repulsion (sensitization)

A

created by Na and Cl ions
low ionic strength saline used to minimize the effect (or PEG)

32
Q

zeta potential (lattice formation)

A

occurs due to a negative net charge on RBC from sialic acid
“ionic cloud”

33
Q

True or False:
A foreign agglutinogen will trigger the production of an agglutinin.

A

True

34
Q

True or False:
If we increase the amount of antibody in comparison to the amount of antigen during sensitization, the sensitivity will decrease

A

false

35
Q

Prozone is

A

Antibody Excess

36
Q

All of the following choices affect sensitization except:
Antigen-Antibody Ratio

Incubation Time
pH
Zeta potential
temperature
Ionic repulsion

A

zeta potential
