Why is type AB considered a universal acceptor of blood from donors? A. Type AB erythrocyte membrane contains the basic tetrasaccharide structure of the H-antigen. B. Type AB erythrocyte membranes contain pentasaccharides that has the basic tetrasaccharide unit linked to either galactose or N- acetylgalactosamine C. Type AB erythrocyte membrane contains the same Rh saccharide units together with the pentasaccharide antigenic determinant characteristic of both A and B type. D. Both A and B E. All of these

One strategy for preventing type 1hypersensitivity is to induce plasma cells tosecrete lgG instead of IgE. Why would this blockallergy symptoms?
What is the molecular basis for red blood cell hemolysis that cause the cells to lyse?
Why is haptoglobin depletion the most sensitive indicator of hemolysis among plasma proteins? Because it ?? a. helps to separate hemoglobin from lysing red blood cells b. binds free hemoglobin dimers following lysis of red blood cells c. is synthesized in the liver that is involved in extravascular hemolysis d. helps to degrade hemoglobin into iron and amino acids (globin) in the Kupffer cells
Describe the changes in clotting and bleeding balance during disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Describe the most important blood coagulation tests used to monitor the patients receiving heparin and warfarin. Distinguish between immediate and delayed hypersensitivity. What drugs are used to treat immediate hypersensitivity and how do these drug work? Why don’t these compounds work in treating delayed hypersensitivity?
In 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?
It is known that heparin acts by increasing the activity of antithrombin, causing a conformational change. LMWHs inhibit mainly factor Xa. Although low doses of heparin act primarily by neutralizing factor Xa, at high doses it prevents thrombin-induced platelet activation and prolongs bleeding time. What are major clinical benefits using heparin or LMWHs?
T cells can differentiate into 5 different subsets of helper T cells. Answer the following questions for TH1 cells: A) In general, list three unique factors that differentiate the TH1 subset from the other subsets. B) For each of those factors identified in A, provide one specific example that applies to TH1 cells. C) What type of pathogens are targeted by the TH1 cells?
During a gas explosive Musa had a 3rd degree burns. Laboratory result perform show a low plasma volume, susceptible to infection and blood also showed hyperkalemia. a. How will this plasma and susceptibility to infection be curtail. b. Why the blood hyperkalemia?

It was found empirically that Bill would stay healthy and have no significant infections if his IgG level were maintained at 600 mg/dl of plasma. He was prescribed 10g of gamma globulin every week to maintain that level. How was the dose calculated? (Explain what considerations went into determining this dose regimen)
A person was found to have very low levels of functional beta globin mRNA and therefore very low levels of the beta globin protein. What problems would this cause for assembling functional haemoglobin molecules?
