17
Q

How many blood group systems and blood group antigens are known in cattle?

A

13 blood groups and approximately 100 blood group antigens

18
Q

Genes making up the Rh antigen

A

C, D and E, possible alleles at each locus; C/c D/d E/e

19
Q

Number of blood group antigens in dog and cat

A

Dog: at least 14
Cat: 2

20
Q

3 points making the blood group system of domestic animals differ from those of human

A
  1. Often no preformed antibodies are present against RBC antigens of other individuals
  2. Often antigens are present in the plasma as well
  3. Most artificially produced antibodies have a hemolysing rather than agglutinating character
21
Q

What is hemagglutination?

A

Hemaglutinins react with RBC that have antigens that the hemagglutin recognizes

22
Q

What happens if Rh pos. RBC gets into the bloodstream of an Rh neg. individual?

A

Anti-D (IgG type) antibodies form

23
Q

What is the simplest method for controlling blood group compatibility?

A

Biological incompatibility test; small amount of blood is administered. If there are now abnormal reactions, the full transfusion can be given after 10 min.

24
Q

Properties of LDH isoenzymes

A

Oxidizing lactic acid into pyruvic acid in the presence of NAD+ coenzyme

25
Q

Separating LDH isoenzymes

A

By gel-electrophoresis

26
Q

What happens to the erythrocytes in the hypotonic solution?

A

They shrink because of water loss

27
Q

What happens to erythrocytes in hypotonic solutions?

A

They sell as a result of water uptake

28
Q

What characterizes the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood?

A

Red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value

29
Q

Why is WBC count of clinical importance?

A

Because it helps to draw a distinction between leukaemias and inflammatory processes

30
Q

Leukocytosis

A

High WBC count

31
Q

Leukopenia

A

Low WBC count

32
Q

What type are the antibodies against the A and B antigens?

A

IgM immunoglobulins, so they can’t get through the placenta

33
Q

Macrocytosis

A

Too large RBC’s

34
Q

Microcytosis

A

Too small RBC

35
Q

Symptoms if donors RBC are destroyed in the recipients plasma during blood transfusion?

A

Fever, shock, acute uraemia or even death

36
Q

What type of reaction is the transfusion reaction?

A

Type II hypersensitive reaction

37
Q

What is cold agglutination?

A

Agglutination may occur below room temperature, ever type 0

38
Q

What is isocytosis?

A

If all cells have the same diameter

39
Q

What do you use to dilute blood?

A

Physiological saline solution

40
Q

What does Türk solution?

A

Loses RBC and stains the nucleus of WBC

41
Q

What kind of Ig is anti-D?

A

IgG type
