- What is an agglutination response? How can it be avoided when blood is transfused?arrow_forward(56) A 1 year old boy dies of staphylococcal pneumonia. He has had multiple skin infections since birth. Separation of the umbilical cord was delayed. A skin window test was performed and no leukocyte accumulated on the cover ship. The cytometric analysis showed that only 5% of the T lymphocytes reacted with a monoclonal antibody to leukocyte functional antigen-1 chain (CD 18) compared with reactivity of 62 % for a normal subject. Just prior to death, his leukocyte count was 75,000/mm3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

- How is HLA serologic testing performed? Question 28 options: a) HLA antigens move through a limited pH gradient and are immobilized, complexed with antibody, and stained. b) T lymphocytes are harvested and introduced to a panel of test sera specific for antigens of the HLA system. c) DNA is isolated from peripheral white blood cells, fragmented, and hybridized. d) B lymphocytes are harvested and introduced to a panel of test sera specific for antigens of the HLA system.arrow_forwardA person with type A+ blood gets a transfusion with type O- blood. What is most likely to happen to the recipient? A) The recipient's blood will agglutinate (clump) due to the presence of natural antibodies in the recipient's blood. B) Nothing because the donor's blood is compatible with the recipient's blood. C) The recipient's blood will agglutinate (clump) due to the presence of natural antigens on the recipient's blood cells.arrow_forwardMike, an unvaccinated university student traveled to Western Europe, where he contracted mumps (viral infection). A month after his return, his roommate, Josh, also complained of symptoms of mumps. However, Josh had received his MMR vaccination as part of his childhood immunizations. IgM antibodies were detected in Mike’s serological test but not in Josh’s bloodwork. However, circulating IgG was detected in both patients. * IgM antibodies have a short half-life. IgG have a longer half-life (remain in an “active state” for longer, not broken down as quickly). Why was it significant that Mike had not been vaccinated and had traveled to Western Europe? What is the significance of finding Ig M antibodies? Why might Josh’s serology test results have been negative for mumps IgM and positive for IgG? Is it possible for Josh to have a mumps infection, even if he had been vaccinated as a child?arrow_forward
- here is a second, delayed spike of IgM in the secondary response. Why might this be occurring?arrow_forwardYou have a patient who has been injured by a rusty nail. As a precaution, you vaccinate her against tetanus. In response to the vaccine, how does her body produce antibodies against C. tetani and prevent future illness due to tetanus? A)B cells that produce an appropriate antibody undergo genomic rearrangement in order to produce other cells that secrete the same antibody. B)Every cell in her immune system produces antibodies against C. tetani. C)B cells with an appropriate antibody are stimulated to divide, producing plasma cells that make antibodies to C. tetani, and memory cells that "remember" C. tetani. D)Every B cell in her body produces antibodies against C. tetani.arrow_forwardWhat is Delayed hypersensitivity?arrow_forward
