An A negative mother (gravida 5, para 5) has just delivered an A positive newborn. Her antibody screen is positive and a panel shows the antibody is anti-D. The anti-D titer is 8. The child has a positive DAT. How could you determined how many doses of Rh immune globulin should be given to this mother?

A mom that is AB+ had a son with a B- man. Describe all possible gametes both parents could produce and list all possible blood types the baby could have, what antigens these blood types would have and what antibodies would be produced in the individual with these blood types. Lastly, explain why this baby would have a hemolytic disease
Which of the following statements is NOT correct about the immunological incompatibility between mother and baby? Select one: a. The baby’s Rh+ blood will never get in contact with the mother’s Rh– blood during the pregnancy as the placenta does not allow fetal blood cells to mix with the maternal blood. b. When the mother has Rh– blood, anti-Rh antibody injection is given during her pregnancy to prevent any antibodies from forming. c. If the baby is Rh+ and the mother is Rh–, it does not pose a problem as long as this is the mother’s first pregnancy. d. Rh– blood has no rhesus factor proteins and therefore will produce antibodies for the Rh factor when exposed to Rh+ blood.
Which Uknown 1 or 2, have antibodies for chicken gamma globulin antigen, also can you label the unknown 1 and 2 and the negative and positive control on the graph, thank you.
D-negative individuals generate an immune response when they are exposed to the Rh-D antigen. However, incompatibility in the ABO blood group system occurs naturally in the absence pf exposure to the A or B antigen in the blood from another individual. Why do individuals produce an immune response the first time they encounter the A or B antigen as an adult?
If you tested a sample of blood and it clumped in serum A, but did not clump in serum B, or the Rh serum, what kind of blood would you have? A) O+B) B-C) AB+D) A+E) A-
BC, a 25-year-old African American female, has presented to the emergency department at a local hospital with severe vaginal bleeding. She is 17 weeks pregnant.

If detected in antibody screen testing, which of the following antibodies is NOT considered clinically significant in prenatal patients? Please select the single best answer Anti-M Anti-N Anti-Leb Anti-Fya
Even though instances of fetal, maternal ABO, incompatibility are common, severe hemolytic disease due to ABO incompatibility is rare. Which of the following best explains this difference? A) ABO incompatibility causes extensive extra medullary hematopoiesis B) antibodies against ABO antigens do not bind complement C) the maternal immune system is tolerant to ABO ANTIGENS D) most anti- A or anti- B antibodies are of IgM type and do not cross the placenta E) the presence of concurrent Rh incompatibility decreases the immunogenicity of erythrocytes
Which of the following is NOT true about the production of monoclonal antibodies? what option below is the answer? Monoclonal antibodies can be used in diagnostic lab tests Hybrid cells proliferate into hybridomas that grow continuously in culture to produce antibodies Spleen cells hybridize with myeloma cells (cancerous B cells) in culture Spleen cells are harvested from mice that were immunized with an antigen Each hybridoma clone produces antibodies against several different antigens
Figure 42.16 The Rh antigen is found on Rh positive red blood cells. An Rh-negative female can usually carry an Rh-positive fetus to term without difficulty. However, if she has a second Rh-positive fetus, her body may launch an immune attack that causes hemolytic disease of the newborn. Why do you think hemolytic disease is only a problem during the second or subsequent pregnancies?

The following are the results: Anti-D Control Positive Neg Answer the following questions: Which conditions warrant the initial Anti-D result? Which specific test was done to confirm an initial Rh negative result? State the principle of the test, its clinical applications, and procedure.
