What is meant by the “window” regarding antibody presence in the blood?
If you are transfusing blood to a hypothetical patient, is it more important that the transfused blood have antigens that will not react with the recipient’s antibodies or antibodies that will not react with the recipient’s antigens? Pick one and briefly explain why.
If a person is given a transfusion with the wrong blood type, what mechanism of
action is responsible for the reaction seen in the body?
O 1) IgE binds to mast cells releasing cytokines
2)
Antigen-antibody complexes (IgG, IgM and IgA) lodge in basement
membranes of tissues, neutrophil degranulation damages the tissues
O 3) T cells respond to the inappropriate cells
4)
IgG and IgM bind to cells stimulating complement, triggering cell lysis

What is their blood type? could be A or O O could be B or Oarrow_forwardIf antibody RH is given to a person with a B+ blood type what would happen? If antibody RH is given to a person with a A- blood type what would happen?arrow_forwardIn terms of antigens and antibodies, explain why O- is considered a universal donor and why AB+ is considered a universal recipient. Even so, why can’t whole blood O- be donated to a person of type AB+ blood?arrow_forward
- Choose all the correct statments. A person with type AB blood can receive a transfusion form a type O individual. A person with type O blood can receive a transfusion from a type AB individual. A person with only the A antigen on the surface of red blood cells is type A. They also have anti B antibodies in their plasma. A person with antigens A and B on the surface of their red blood cells is type AB and have no antibodies in their plasma. A person with the Rh factor is Rh+. A person who is type O has the O antigen on the surface of their red blood cells, and have anti A antibodies in their plasma.arrow_forwardWhat antibodies does a person with B+ blood contain?arrow_forwardIn a hematocrit, which layer would you expect to see antibodies?arrow_forward
