25
if extra LISS is added to serum what happens
increases nonspecific pos rxn
26
what potentiating media is water soluble polymer used to increase AB uptake
PEG
27
how long is the incubation time using PEG
15 mins
28
do you read at 37C using PEG
no
29
what kind of abs may not be detected when using PEG
IgM
30
what kind of inhancement media is positively charged polymer hexadimethrine bromide
polybrene
31
what kind of inhacement media is rapid and sensitive method for ab ID
polybrene
32
is the indirect or direct method used with polybrene
direct
33
how does aggregation of RBC happen using polybrene
cross linking of ab molecules
34
how is aggregation of RBC dispersed in polybrene
neutral salt solution
35
what does PEG do to the abs
concentrated the ab in the test environment
36
once the neg charge is removed on RBC using proteolytic enzymes what happens to the zeta potential
reduces
37
what kind of immunoglobulins react in the IS phase
pentameric IgM
38
why is the RT phase used when the IS phase is positive
to allow for more time for the IgM abs to react
39
what testing phase does monomeric IgG and IgG react
AHG phase
40
what does it mean if you get a pos auto control
unexpected auto/allo ab or a pos DAT
41
why will ABO abs not be detected in an Ab screen
because the regents are O cells
42
what must you look for in an Ab panel to confirm an Ab ID
at least 3 positive and 3 neg cells
43
def? the lowest conc of ab against a particular ag
ab titer
44
Antibodies are excluded using RBCs that are homozygous for the corresponding antigen because:
Antibodies may show dosage
45
A request for 8 units of RBCs was received for patient LF . The patient has a negative antibody screen, but 1 of the 8 units was 3+ incompatible at the AHG phase. Which of the following antibodies may be the cause?
anti-Kp a
46
The physician has requested 2 units of RBCs for patient DB, who has two antibodies, anti-L and anti-Q. The frequency of antigen L is 45%, and the frequency of antigen Q is 70% in the donor population. Approximately how many units will need to be antigen-typed for L and Q to fill the request?
12
47
Anti-Sd a has been identified in patient ALF . What substance would neutralize this antibody and allow detection of other alloantibodies?
urine
48
Patient JM appears to have a warm autoantibody. She was transfused 2 weeks ago. What would be the next step performed to identify any alloantibodies that might be in her serum?
