Jenny G. received a transfusion of 3 units of Packed Red Blood Cells last year. She has been readmitted to the hospital and is anemic (HGB 7.1 g/dL) and has a positive antibody screen in AHG with cells I and II and her autocontrol is positive. Her panel shows agglutination in AHG for all 10 panel cells. She types as A positive. What do these results suggest? How could you determine if this patient has an alloantibody?

a 58-year-old Asian male .He visited his physician because he noticed dark colored lesions on his inner thighs, have increased in number, size. For the last three months he has been feeling weaker and more fatigued than usual; his weight dropped from 170 to 155 pounds. Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and grown in cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis.

If you were to perform the blood typing of this individual, what are the expected results given the following reagents Phenotype Forward typing (reagents) Reverse typing (reagents) Anti-A Anti-B Anti-H A cells B cells Al Write "+" for presence of agglutination and "-" for absence of agglutination 3. Explain the results of the blood typing, why would there be a "+" or a "" reaction during the testing. Relate your answer to the presence/absence of antigens and/or antibodies
A white cell differential was performed for an adult female, with the following percentages of cells counted:Neutrophils = 25%, Lymphocytes = 69%, Monocytes = 5%, Eosinophils = 1%, Basophils = <1%Given that the total white cell count for this individual is 8.1x109/L, calculate the absolute number of lymphocytes per litre of blood. Discuss possible causes for any of the white cell differential counts which do not fall within the expected reference ranges.

Due to a clerical error, several blood samples at a blood bank were not labeled. The three list below were conducted on each sample to identify each blood type. Test 1 = Unknown sample mixed with “anti-A” serum (contains type A antibodies) Test 2 = Unknown sample mixed with “anti-B” serum (contains type B antibodies) Test 3 = Unknown sample mixed with “anti-Rh” serum (contains type Rh antibodies) (A) When unknown sample A was tested, agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells occurred in test 1, 2 and 3. The blood type of sample A is… (B) When unknown sample B was tested, no agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells occurred in any tests. The blood type of sample B is… (C) When unknown sample C was tested, agglutination (clumping) of red blood cells occurred in test 2 and 3, but not 1. The blood type of sample C is…
A 6 month old pediatric patient is B-negative. She has received a unit of platelet pheresis that appeared to be bloody. the estimated blood volume in the unit of platelets is estimated to be 5 mLs. Please calculate the dose of RhLg (standard) to be injected to this patient to prevent stimulation of alloanti-D (HINT: It's estimated that 5mL of red blood cells are in the unit of platelets, so think of the 5 mL volume of red blood cells as being "packed cells" rather than whole blood) Need answer ASAP and in short .

Shown are results of clinical FACS analysis of a normal individual and a patient with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Blood lymphocytes from these two patients were incubated with antibodies that recognize the B-cell marker CD19 and the T-cell marker CD3 and then sorted by flow cytometry. Which patient is healthy? Please select. CD3 CD3 O Patient on the right is healthy and patient on the left has a disease. Blood lymphocytes from an individual on the left show only binding to antibodies against the T-cell marker CD3. This indicates an absence of B cells in this patient. Both patients are ill because they do not have cells that are positive for both the CD3 and CD19 markers. O Patient on the left is healthy and patient on the right has a disease. Blood lymphocytes from an individual on the left show a large number of T-cells with CD3 marker and a lower concentration of B-cells, which is normal. CD19

Ms. House, a 32-year-old Hispanic woman, has had a history of intermittent pleuritic chest pain and joint pain for the past several years. Recently, she went to her physician because she noticed that an erythematous, butterfly-shaped rash had appeared on her face. Further lab tests indicated protein in her urine. Her blood test indicated the presence of numerous antinuclear antibodies, especially anti-DNA, and mature neutrophils containing nuclear material. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made. Discussion Questions Discuss how the presence of antibodies can cause such widespread damage in organ systems. (See SLE—Pathophysiology.) Discuss treatments for SLE and a prognosis for the patient in this case. (See SLE—Treatment.)
