lecture questions exam 2 Flashcards
A patient’s serum reacts with 2 of 3 antibody screening cells at the AHG phase of testing. 8 of 10 crossmatched units were incompatible at AHG. All reactions were markedly enhanced with enzymes. Which antibody is likely reacting
- anti-M
- anti-E
- anti-little c
- anti - Fya
anti-little c
- little c higher incidence (8/10) than E (2/10)
- duffy and MNS systems are destroyed by enzymes
which characteristics are true of all 3 of the following antibodies: anti-fya, anti-jka, anti-k
- may show dosage, may cause severe hemolytic transfusion reactions
- detected at IAT phase and may cause hemolytic disease of the newborn and transfusion reactions
- requires IAT techniques for detection usually not responsible for HDN
detected at IAT phase and may cause hemolytic disease of the newborn and transfusion reactions
- Fya, Jka and anti-k are IgG so need IAT and may cross placenta
an auto control gives a mixed field result, is this a valid test result
- yes, the result shows that the patient has an autoantibody
- yes the patient has probably recently been transfused
- no, the panel cells cannot give a mixed-field result, something is wrong with the test system
- no, the control has failed, the test needs to be repeated
yes the patient has probably recently been transfused
- auto control = self cells against self plasma
- mixed field indicates two populations of cells reacting w/in auto control
- a true auto-antibody would have a stronger reaction
which pair is NOT a set of antithetical antigens
- Jsa/Jkb
- E/e
- Fya/Fyb
- M/N
Jsa/Jkb
- MNS system vs kidd system
A donor unit caused a delayed transfusion reaction where a patient developed an anti-Jsa. Given expected antigen frequencies, what is the likely population the donor is from?
- caucasian
- asian
- black
- hispanic
black
- Jsa is 20% more frequent in black populations than others (0 vs 20)
which set of antigens are inherited on the same chromosome
- MNS and P/Glob
- Kell and Kidd
- Duffy and Rh
- Lutheran and ABO
Duffy and Rh (1 and 1)
- MNS: 4
- P/Glob: 22 and 3
- Kell: 7
- Kidd: 18
- Lutheran: 19 (same as lewis)
- ABO: 9
which listed are susceptible to enzyme treatment
- Rh
- Kell
- Kidd
- Duffy
- Lewis
- MNS
- P/Glob
- Lutheran
Duffy and MNS
- all others enhanced
- lutheran DTT destroyed
If a patient has an unexpected antibody causing a reverse type discrepancy, which antibody is least likely
- I
- M
- P
- s
little s
- anti-I present in nearly everyone
- anti-M is IgM and will react at room temp
- anti-P is a cold reactive IgM and will react at room temp
- anti-s is IgG and will react in AHG
Due to it being the second most immunogenic blood group system (besides Rh), which blood group is phenotypically matched to cells to sickel cell patients
- duffy
- kidd
- kell
- lutheran
Kell
- on antigram from left to right goes most immunogenic to least, kell is right after Rh
what disease is associated with Duffy
- malaria Vivax
- Hydrops Fatelis
- delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
vivax
what disease is associated with Kidd
- malaria Vivax
- Hydrops Fatelis
- delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction
what disease is associated with Rh
- malaria Vivax
- Hydrops Fatelis
- delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
Hydrops fatalis
what disease is associated with P/Glob
- malaria Vivax
- Hydrops Fatelis
- delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
- anti - P: IgM, Donath landsteiner Ab
- P antigen also related to Parvo
A patient has an antibody reactive with 8 out of 10 cells at room temp. It is enzyme resistant and neutralized by cyst fluid. Which antibody do you suspect
- anti-N
- anti-P1
- anti-P1PPK
- anti-IH
anti-P1: 80% frequency, IgM and is enzyme enhanced
- PIPPK is IgG
how many panel cells containing E antigen need to demonstrate a positive agglutination reaction with the unknown antibody in order to statistically rule-in anti-E
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
3
- rule of 3 rule in or out
what would you call the procedure where you mix patient plasma and patient cells, then read/grade reactions at IAT phase
- phenotype
- DAT
- auto control
- antibody ID
auto control
-> determining if patient is reacting to their own cells
which circumstance(s) does NOT require phenotype testing
a. an Rh negative patient with a newly identified anti-D
b. recently transfused patient with known anti-Fya
c. units for a patient with known anti-K
d. units for a patient with a low incident antibody
a, b and d
an antibody is clinically significant when (multiple possible)
a. it may cause transfusion reaction
b. it does not cause HDN
c. it is high incident
d. it is identified as an HTLA
a. it may cause transfusion reaction
-> HTLA = high titer low avidity, weakly reactive at big titer but won’t cause HDN or TRXN
-> M is high incidence but ignored due to non HDN or TRXN causing (IgM)
which of the following neutralizing substances is accurately matched to its antibody
- breast milk: P
- normal human plasma: Chido/Rogers
- hydatic cyst fluid: lewis
- saliva: I
normal human plasma: Chido Rogers
- Hydatid: P1
- saliva: lewis
- urine: sfa
- human breast milk: I
in which of the following procedures would a positive agglutination reaction complete your workuo

Kpa
you are attempting to differentiate anti-S from anti-M which of the following information is most helpful
