Exam 2: Blood Banking Reagents: Overview and Applications

Monoclonal antibodies are prepared in:

Select the test that uses IgG-sensitized red cells (check cells).

The purpose of adding antibody-sensitized red cells following the antiglobulin test is to:

Which of the following red cell antigens do proteolytic enzymes destroy?

Select the antiglobulin test that best fits the descriptions below. selection may be used more than once. -Tests for certain clinical conditions such as hemolytic disease of the newborn and autoimmune hemolytic anemia

Select the antiglobulin test that best fits the descriptions below. selection may be used more than once. -Requires washing the cells several times before the addition of antihuman globulin reagent

Select the method that uses a dextran-acrylamide matrix.

Select the antiglobulin test that best fits the descriptions below. selection may be used more than once. -Incubation step is not necessary

Select the reagent from the list below and match it to the routine blood banking procedure. -Reagent to detect the presence of red cell antibodies and B cells

Solid-phase red cell adherence used for antibody detection has an advantage over tube testing because:

The indirect antihuman globulin test is incubated at what temperature?

Select the reagent from the list below and match it to the routine blood banking procedure. -Reagent to identify the specificity of a red cell antibody antisera

Reagent antibodies prepared from human sources are:

What reagent contains antibodies to multiple antigenic epitopes?
