What happens to the RBC and why? (when putting inside the solution)
what will happen to the WBC?
RBC will Lysis
solution will stain the nuclei of WBC
(WBC counting)
How much blood do we need?
How much will we take from the blood+solution?
Add 10 microL blood
Take 20 microL
(WBC counting)
What squares do we use?
How many squares should we count?
Large
25
(WBC counting)
Counted number of WBC in the 25 squares equals?
Cell number in 1/10 microL of the diluted suspension
(WBC counting)
What is the normal value?
6000-8000 cells / 1 microL
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
all steps in the preparation of the blood?(after we put the blood on the slide)
3 min in undiluted May-Grünwald solutiun
1 min in diluted May-Grünwald solutiun
15-20 min in Giemsa solution
wash with water
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how much should we count?
100
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
How do you prepare yourself for the lab?
gloves and lab coat!!! Tell subject to wash hands Prepare equipment Use alcohol to clean finger Prick the finger and throw away needle
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
Giemsa solution, what does it made of?
what is it for?
phosphate buffer (pH=6.8) eosinophilic staining
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
must do before using the slide on the microscope?
what do we use in the microscope to whatch it?
put a drop of immersion oil
the black magnification (special for immersion oil)
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how much should you count?
what are the normal values?
count 100 Neutrophils 60-70% Lymphocyes 25-30% Monocytes 4-8% Eosinophils 2-4% Basophils 0-1% **mnemonics!!! Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas!!!**
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a neutrophil granulocyte?
1.5-2 times larger than RBC
usually more than 2 nuclei
light eosinophilic (pink) cytoplasm
containing granules (but they are unstained)
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a lymphocyte?
same size as RBC or bigger big basophilic (purple) nucleus
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a monocyte?
2-3 times bigger than RBC larges WBC "horeseshoe"/kidney shape eccentric nucleus basophilic (grey-purple) cytoplasm
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
what type of solution should you firstly put on the plate, and where?
seline
under each one- A, B, AB, control
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
what is antigene and where is it located?
it is located on the surface of the RBC, it is the “ID” of the blood type. if i have antigene A i have blood type A.
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
what is antibody and where is it located?
Immunoglobulin (Ig) used in the immune system to help protect cell and so on
they are circulated in the plasma- so if i have blood type A it will have antibodies for B.
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
what type of Immunoglobulin (Ig) are attacking the RBC antigene?
IgM (pentamere)
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
the blood drop which was labeled AntiA got agglutanated- what type is this blood and how do we know that?
the blood is type A.
person with blood type A wont have in his plasma antibodies for A- BCS IF HE DID IT WILL ATTACK THE RBC
(Rh test)
what type of Ig is the antibody for Rh?
anti D= IgG (monomere/dimere)
(Rh test)
what will we observe in case of Rh- person?
no agglutanation bcs this person doesnt have Rh antigene on its RBC surface so there is nothing to “attack”
(transport rate on RBC)
we need two control. positive and negative. describe each one
negative - used as blank. (hypotonic solutiol kills RBC!)
100 microL blood with 3mL distilled water
positive- used as 100% absorbance (isotonic solution!)
100 microL blood with 3mL isotonic solution
(transport rate on RBC)
what does the transport rate deoends on? (2)
- permeability of the membrane for the specofoc substance
2. electrochemical gradient
(transport rate on RBC)
can urea pass the RBC memb?
yes, with UT-B (urea transporter)
(transport rate on RBC)
how do glucose pass the RBC memb?
GLUT1 <3
(transport rate on RBC)
how do water enter the RBC?
aquaporin (3 types):
aq1- constitutively in the memb
aq2- collecting tubule, hormonally regulated by Vasopresin
aq3- constitutively in the memb (can also pass glycerol)
**water can also pass (8%) through urea transporter
(transport rate on RBC)
how can ammonium ions enter the cell?
when they convert to ammonia= NH3+H
the proton goes to the HCO3- buffer
and ammonia enters the cell freely
inside cell becomes NH4 again (intracellular becomes alkaline)
