Term
What test can detect patient A,B, C AGNs or ABYs?
Definition
Microlymphocytotoxicity
Term
Which type of testing for AGN has the following characteristics:
C' is added - if AGN/ABY reaction has occurred, C' will be activated and destroy the cell.
Cells injured by C' allow a dye to enter and appear opaque. Healthy cells exclude the dye and appear refractive
Definition
Microlymphocytotoxicity
Term
Given the Procedure, Name the Test:
1. Donor cells are zapped with mitomycin to prevent cells from proliferating
2. Donor and recipient cells are mixed
3. If cells are not identical for D AGN, recipient's lymphocyte cells will enlargen and their blasts will transform
Definition
Mixed Lymphocyte Culture - D AGN
Term
Mixed Lymphocyte Culture - D AGN, Uptake of a dye is proportional to what?
Definition
Transformation in the dividing cells
Term
What type of testing for AGN is the BEST for BMT to match class II D AGNs?
Definition
Molecular Based Technology
Term
Why is Molecular Based Technology the BEST for BMT to match class II D AGNs?
Definition
PCR amplification that now has allowed HLA detection at the DNA level
Term
True or False:
Unless the donor and recipient are genetically identical (twins), foreign antigens on the graft will illicit immune response and cause rejection
Definition
True
Term
What organs do you NOT HLA match?
Definition
Liver, Lung, Heart, Pancreas
Term
What organs is the HLA match more important for?
Definition
Kidney, BMT
Term
____% survival of HLA matched sibling's kidneys compared to _____% if not matched
Definition
80-90%

Term
For BM or stem cell, you want to match what?
Definition
A, B, DR, C
Term
For the Liver, Lung, Heart, and Pancreas when transplanting instead of HLA what will you give/use instead?
Definition
Immunosuppressive drugs
Term
What will cause a patient to start becoming refractory to platelet transfusion treatment?
Definition
HLA ABYs
Platelet Specific ABY
Term
True or False:
27% of patients will be sensitized after 5 transfusions of platelets
Definition
True
Term
What type of donors are best for platelet transfusions?
Definition

Term
True or False:
Platelets have more HLA AGNs than Lymphs
Definition
False
Term
True or False:
Lymphs have more HLA AGNs than Platelets
Definition
True
Term
What can you do to platelets to help prevent sensitization?
Definition
Make platelet transfusions leukocyte poor

Definition
B27
Term
100% of people with narcolepsy have what AGN?
Definition
DR2
Term
Can exclude what percent of falsely accused fathers with HLA alone?
Definition
93%
Term
When HLA is combined with RBC AGNs, what does the % of accuracy go to?
Definition
>99%
Term
What are the 2 types of Non-Immune reactions for the platelet count to not rise as expected after a transfusion?
Definition
Clinical conditions
Product Problems
Term
What 2 types of Immune Reaction could happen if the platelet count does not rise as expected after a transfusion?
Definition
Alloimmunization to either Class I or II HLA
Alloimmunication to platelet specific AGNs
Term
Describe the Non-Immune Product Problems that are associated with the platelet count not rising after a transfusion

Bleeding/Bruising
Term
True or False:
Even with a platelet HLA match, there is still a 20-50% failure rate
Definition
True
Term
True or False:
Single donor is a GOOD way to prevent immunization, but does NOT totally eliminate platelet sensitization
Definition
True
Term
True or False:
Leukodepleting is GOOD because it appears that the WBCs are MORE likely to cause HLA immunization that the Platelets themselves are
Definition
True
Term
With Platelet Crossmatching, what has become the Procedure of Choice?
Definition
Platelet Crossmatch with Solid Phase
Term
With the Platelet Crossmatch Procedure of Choice, the Predictive value of successful transfusions is what?
Definition
97%
Term
Give the procedure for Capture P / Platelet Cross Match
Definition
1. Microtiter plates coated with specific or non-specific platelet ABYs
2. Add donor PRP, centrifuge, Wash out unbound Plts
3. Add LISS & patient serum, incubate
4. Any ABY in the patient's serum that is specific will bind
5. Anti-IgG caoted indicator RBCs are added and centrifuged
Term
What does a + Reaction for Capture P / Platelet Cross Match look like?
Definition
No indicator cell button,
because the Anti-IgG coated RBCs attached to the lattice formed by the IgG ABYs in the patient serum & the donor platelets
Term
What does a = Reaction for Capture P / Platelet Cross Match look like?
Definition
No AGN/ABY lattice so indicator cells fall to bottom of well and make a button
Term
True or False:
Platelet Cross Match Positive Reaction are the wells that will be used
Definition
False
Term
What type of reaction will be used with Capture P / Platelet Cross Match?
Definition
Negative
