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?

The book gives the example of an Rh- Mother and Rh+ fetus. You used a similar example in the video. But what happens in the reverse? Is there no problem because the antibodies from the mother don't view the baby as a threat; so, there is no need for a treatment like RhoGam for later pregnancies? I sent this question to the professor, but maybe I should have asked Bartleby. Sherri B. Green
Which of the following is NOT true about Rh hemolytic disease (erythroblastosis fetalis)? Choose option 1-5 1. It is an example of Type III (immune complex) hypersensitivity 2. Can be prevented in subsequent pregnancies by administering anti-Rh antibody (RhoGam) to the mother during pregnancy or soon after childbirth 3. Occurs in Rh negative pregnant women carrying Rh positive fetuses 4. It is a result of antibodies binding to the Rh antigen on erythrocytes (red blood cells) 5. None of the other four answers (All are true about Rh hemolytic disease)
A physician is typing the blood specimen belonging to an eighteen-year-old female to receive emergency blood transfusions due to an unfortunate accident. The following are the results: Anti-A Anti-B Anti-D A1 Cells B Cells 4+ - - - 4+ Due to the initial negative Anti-D result, the physician decided to perform an indirect antiglobulin test. 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.
Select all the statements below that are true regarding hemolytic disease of the newborn. If a mother is Rh- and becomes sensitized with anti-Rh antibodies, all subsequent children will be affected Hemolytic disease of the newborn can only occur if the mother is Rh-. If an Rh- mother becomes sensitized, only her subsequent children with Rh+ blood will be affected If a mother is Rh- and her first child is Rh+, the child's RBCS will be attacked by the mother's antibodies.
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. This is her first pregnancy and she has no history of transfusion or transplantation. Specimens have been drawn for laboratory testing, including an order for a type and antibody detection test. What is BC's Rh type? Forward Typing Reverse Typing Anti-A Anti-B Anti-D A1 Cells B Cells 4+ 0 0 0 4+ Question 2 options: A) Further testing should be done to confirm Rh. B) D+ C) Weak D+ D) D-
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.
Shown are results of clinical FACS analysis of a normal individual and a patient with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). Blood lymphocytes from these two patients were incubated with antibodies that recognize the B-cell marker CD19 and the T-cell marker CD3 and then sorted by flow cytometry. Which patient is healthy? Please select. CD3 CD3 O Patient on the right is healthy and patient on the left has a disease. Blood lymphocytes from an individual on the left show only binding to antibodies against the T-cell marker CD3. This indicates an absence of B cells in this patient. Both patients are ill because they do not have cells that are positive for both the CD3 and CD19 markers. O Patient on the left is healthy and patient on the right has a disease. Blood lymphocytes from an individual on the left show a large number of T-cells with CD3 marker and a lower concentration of B-cells, which is normal. CD19

A 1-day old Caucasian male neonate was born to a 24-year old gravida 1 female at 37 weeks gestational age via Caesarian section, secondary to failure to progress in labor. The infant was delivered without complications. Routine blood work on the infant revealed an unexpected red cell antibody. A DAT and antibody screen were both noted to be positive. a. The mother and neonate share the same antibody identification panel. Why? Defend your answer.
You are seeing a 4-year old girl who has a 6-week history of recurrent left knee pain and a limp. On examination, the joint is red, warm and tender but she is able to weight bear with a limp. Of the following, this girl is MOST LIKELY to test positive for:a. Anti-nuclear antibodyb. Rheumatoid factorc. Anti-double stranded DNA antibodyd. Anti-streptolysin O antibody
You are interested in performing indirect immunofluorescence light microscopy to observe the localization of the catalase enzyme in the cultured HeLa cells, obtained historically from the cervical tumor of Henrietta Lacks. You were going through the lab stock and found a few primary and secondary antibodies. Which of the following secondary antibody can you use in your experiments? O All of the mentioned antibodies can be used in the experiment Goat anti-human antibody conjugated to 10 nm gold Goat-anti-human catalase conjugated to 10 nm gold O Human anti-catalase antibody conjugated to fluorescent rhodamine Goat anti-human antibody conjugated to fluorescent rhodamine
