(3) act as APC - via MHC II

24
Q

80% of circulating lymphocytes are

A

T cells

25
Q

T cell functions

A

(1) cytotoxic T cells– CD8+ that respond to MHC I

(found in marrow not usually blood)

28

(4) bone marrow– 18 wk till forever
“ Young Liver Synthesizes Blood”

29
Q

adult hemoglobin

A

HbA1 – 2alpha, 2beta

HbA2 – 2 alpha, 2 delta (rare, only seen increased in B-thal)

30
Q

fetal hemoglobin

A

HbF– 2 alpha, 2 gamma

remember “ always alpha, gamma goes, becomes beta”

31
Q

HbF vs HbA

A

HbF has greater oxygen binding avidity, therefore it is able to steal O2 from mother’s HbA.. this is because HbF has weaker binding to 2,3 BPG

32
Q

universal PLASMA donor

A

AB type

33
Q

universal BLOOD donor

A

O type

34
Q

universal PLASMA acceptor

A

O type

35
Q

universal BLOOD acceptor

A

AB type

36
Q

anti- A and anti- B are what type of antibodies

A

IgM (can’t cross placenta)

IgM stays in Mom

37
Q

anti-Rho (aka anti D) is what type of antibody

A

IgG (CAN cross placenta)

IgG can Go to baby

38
Q

Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn: mom status? baby status? path? t(x)?

A

mom= Rh neg
baby 1= Rh pos
baby 2= Rh pos, gets hemolytic disease
– upon delivery of 1st Rh+ baby, mom makes anti-IgG against D antigen. when carrying 2nd baby, IgG crosses placenta causes hemolytic d(x)
t(x)- RhoGAM- an exogenous anti-D IgG to prevent MATERNAL production of anti-D IgG

39
Q

Hemoglobin electrophoresis migration: from farthest to shortest distance migrated

A

HbA, HbF, HbS, HbC
“a fat santa claus”
why? bc HbS (has val not glutamic acid) so it is neutral
HbC (has lysine not glutamic acid) so it is positive

40
Q

HbS

A

in B chain, a valine is there instead of glutamic acid. makes a neutral pocket that can allow RBC polymerization and sickling

41
Q

HbC

A

in B chain, a lysine (+) is there instead of glutamic acid (-). not as severe as HbS bc no sickling

42

reduces vit K. reduced vit K is a cofactor to gamma glutamyl carboxylase which activates factors: II, VII, IX, X, prot C, prot S

55
Q

role or protein C and protein S

A

anti-coag!

inactivate Va, and VIIIa

56
Q

explain the steps of primary hemostasis

A

(1) endothelial damage– vasoconstriction
(2) VWF (from WPB and platelets) bind exposed collagen
(3) “adhesion”- platelets bind VWF via Gp1b which causes platelet release of ADP and TXA2
(4) “activation” - ADP induces GIIbIIIa on platelets
(5) aggregation- fibrinogen binds platelets at GIIbIIIa and links platelets
