What does Anti-Human Globulin (AHG) reagent contain? |
Murine monoclonal Abs directed at relevant human proteins. |
|
What is the purpose of the AHG test? |
To test for the agglutination of Anti-D IgG Abs |
|
What does Anti-D reagent contain? |
The secretions of 2 human/murine heterohybridromas. There is no human serum component |
|
What is the principle of the Anti-D reagent? |
To detect the presence or absence of the D antigen. If negative test for weak D antigen |
|
What does the gamma-clone control reagent contain? |
Bovine Albumin |
|
What is the principle of the Gamma-clone control reagent? |
To test for flase positives in Anti-D |
|
What is contained in the Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-A,B reagents? |
Murine monoclonal and color, Anti-A patent blue, Anti-B naphthol yellow |
|
What is the principle of the Anti-A, Anti-B, & Anti-A,B test? |
To determine if the RBCs have A, B, or both A & B Ags |
|
What is contained in the Reagent RBCs? (Reference cells) |
Pool of Human O-type RBCs |
|
What is the principle of the Reagent A1, A2, & B RBCs? |
To check the patient's plasma for the presence of A1, A2, or B Abs |
|
What does the Anti-D reagent contain that the Gamma-clone (Rh control) does not? |
2 human/murine heterohybridromas |
|
What are the controls for Anti-A, Anti-B, & Anti-A,B? |
A1 and B cell tests for Ab |
|
What does the Anti-A1 reagent contain? |
D. biflorus, which mimics the Anti-A1 Ab reaction |
|
What is the N-hance's intended use? |
Use as a low-ionic-strength additive solution for antibody uptake |
|
What is the principle of the N-hance reagent? |
Creates a low-ionic-strength environment that increases the rate of Ab uptake during incubation, enabling incubation time to be shortened |
|
What does the N-hance reagent use as a reagent? A) sodium azide B) Human O type cells C) glycine |
C) glycine |
