serum, csf, urine, stool

what are the samples use in serological test?

antigen

Also known as FOREIGN SUBSTANCES

antigen

Stimulate the immune system

antigen

Substances that induce or elicit an immune response

antigen

Substances that induce or elicit the production of antibodies

antibodies

Also known as IMMUNOGLOBULINS

antibodies

One of the major substances produced by the immune system that will block harmful antigen

cell toxicity, neutralization, opsonization

what are the functions of antibodies?

agglutination

Antigens involved are particulate

precipitation

Antigens involved are soluble antigens

vdrl

Only use for screening for syphilis, uses heated serum

venereal disease research laboratory test

what does VDRL stands for?

flocculation

what is the principle of VDRL and rapid plasma reagin?

enzyme immunoassay

what is the other term for ELISA?

enzyme linked immunosorbent assay

what does ELISA stands for?

elisa

Measures enzymatic reactions and uses enzymes as labels

rapid plasma reagin, fluorescent immunoassay, radioimmunoassay

what are the different serological test?

rapid plasma reagin

Only use for screening for syphilis, uses unheated serum

fluorescent immunoassay

uses fluorescent compounds known as fluorophores or fluorochrome as labels

radioimmunoassay

uses radioactive subsatances as label

immunity

the condition of being resistant to infection

immunity

the recognition of foreign substances and subsequent production of antibodies to these substances.

immunity

can be classified as either innate or acquired.

natural immunity

Innate/ non-adaptive/ non-specific

natural immunity

ability of an individual to resist infections by means of normally present body functions.

natural immunity

present at birth

adaptive or specific

a reaction resulting from invasion of foreign substances

blood banking

Refers to the collection, processing, typing and storage of whole blood and other blood products

immunohematology

other term for bloodbanking?

blood banking

Study of immunologic principles applied in blood group specific antigens and antibodies

blood banking

It also deals with mechanism of blood typing and crossmatching, detection and measurement of antibody titers, screening of donors for blood donation, bleeding techniques, proper labeling, storing and disposal of blood emphasis on quality assurance

forward or direct typing, reverse or back typing

what are the types of blood typing?

forward or direct typing

Detection of antigens on patients RBC using known commercial anti-sera

reverse or back typing

Detection of antibodies in serum of patient with known commercial RBCs

reverse or back typing

To check if the blood type of the forward is correct

allogenic donation, directed donation, autologous donation, apheresis donation

what are the types of blood donation?

allogenic donation

Involves donation of blood for the use of general public

directed donation

Involves donation of blood use of specific patient

autologous donation

Donate blood for your own use in the future

apheresis donation

donate specific component of blood

registration, health or medical history, physical examination, phlebotomy, post donation care, serological testing of donors blood

what are the steps in donor screening?

450 ml

what is the average amount of blood to be transfused?

platelet apheresis

collection of platelets by apheresis while returning the RBCs, WBCs, and component plasma

leukapheresis

removal of PMNs, basophils, eosinophils for transfusion into patients whose PMNs are ineffective or where traditional therapy has failed

plasmapheresis

collection of blood plasmas by apheresis while returning the RBCs, WBCs, and platelets
