A

IgM, naturally occuring

18
Q

Lewis antibodies clinical significance

A

insignificant

19
Q

Lewis antibodies HDN

A

no

20
Q

Lewis antibodies trx rxn

A

no

21
Q

anti-Lebh

A

reacts with A2 and O cells that are Le(b+)

neutralized by saliva with H or Leb substance

22
Q

Anti-LebL

A

reacts with all Le(b+) cells regardless of ABO type

23
Q

anti-Leab

A

reacts with all red cells except Le(a-b-); pattern for anti-Lea and anti-Leb combined

24
Q

anti-ALeB

A

reacts with A cells that are Le(b+)

25
Q

anti-BLeb

A

reacts with B cells that are Le(b+)

26
Q

substance used to determine individual’s secretor status

A

saliva

27
Q

studies to determine secretor status

A

inhibition/neutralization

28
Q

inhibition procedure

A

reagent anti-H lectin is incubated with individual’s heat-treated saliva; group O red cells added
H substance present in saliva will neutralize anti-H lectin and cells will not agglutinate–>secretor

29
Q

positive inhibition test

A

no agglutination

30
Q

meaning of positive inhibition test

A

secretor

31
Q

meaning of no agglutination in inhibition test

A

secretor
