Simulated Board Examination Flashcards
The T4 cells are:
T helpers-inducers
The VDRL antigen consist of:
✅ 0.03% cardiolipin
✅ 0.90% cholesterol
✅ 0.21% lecitin
Hydroxythyl starch (HES) is used in:
Leukapheresis
In an emergency transfusion where typing and crossmatching cannot be even dine, it is most safe to give:
“O” red cells
Failure to wash RBCs adequately would cause:
False (-) in DAT
Individuals who do not have the Rho(D) factor are classified as:
Rh (-)
Donath-Landsteiner Ab:
Anti-P (cold reactive IgG autoab; PCH)
Stack of coins appearance of red cells:
Rouleaux formation
High titer of anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) is strongly suggestive of:
Chronic Active Hepatitia (CAH)
CEA is correlated with:
Colon cancer
Anti-P us significant in transfusion because:
It has a wide thermal range of reactivity (Ab binds to RBCs in cold and via C’ activation, the coated RBCs lyse as they are warmed to 37’C.
The different classes of the Igs are referred as:
Isotypes (vary depends in constant HC region)
The treponemal Ag used in specific treponemal Ab test is derived from:
Nichols treponeme strain
Slides: Nichols straun of T. pallidum
Sorbent: Extract of nonpathogenuc treponemes (Reiter stain)
A unit of WB produces an increase in Hct in an adult recipient of:
3% Hct (3 to 5%) or 1 to 1.5 g/dL Hgb
Commonly used polyspecific antiglobulin reagent contains:
Anti-IgG, anti-C3d
Acute and convalescent serum samples must show at least how many times increase in Ab titer to be considered significant for a disease:
4x fold increase
DAT detects coating if RBCs by:
IgG or C3d (in vivo
Plasma exchange is efficient and acceptable in the tx if the following diseases:
Myasthenia gravis and Goodpasture syndrome (removal of autoantibodies in plasma);
Waldenstrom’s syndrome (increased plasma globulins)
Schick’s test is used to determine presence of immunity to:
Diptheria
Dick’s test (Scarlet fever)
T-cells refer to:
Thymus-derived cells (t-cells are lymphocytes that matured in the thymus)
Adrenocortical antibodies
Addison’s disease
Antibody to RBCs
AIHA
Antibody to platelets
Autoimmune Thrombocytopenic purpura
Antibody to Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Crohn’s disease
Antibody to parietal cells / intrinsic factor
Pernicious anemia
Anti-centromere Abs
Scleroderma
Anti-salivary duct / lacrimal gland antibodies
Sjögren’s syndrome
Anti-TSH receptor antibodies
Graves disease
Anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-microsomal) / thyroglobulin antibodies
Hashimoto’s thyroiditia
Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (antibodies to beta-islet cells of pancreas) / insulin antibodies
Type I DM
Anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA)
Chronic active hepatitis (CAH)
