Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an
Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+
baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's
blood)?
A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur
when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant
with an Rh- baby.
B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother
has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the
mom produces can cross the placenta and
attack the baby's blood.
C) The Rh- mother always produces
antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so
erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that
can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or
subsequent).

- (38) Following a rattle snake bite, a patient is injected with horse anti-rattlesnake venom serum. Ten days later he has general weakness, headaches, muscular and joint pains, and dark urine. Laboratory studies show proteinuria. Serum concentrations of immunoglobulins are within the reference range, but serum C3 and C4 concentrations are decreased. Which of the following is the most likely pathological process?

These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.arrow_forwardFor each of the following situations, indicate which type(s) of lymphocyte(s), if any, would be expected to proliferate rapidly in lymph nodes and where in the nodes they would do so.
