  1. 2. Antibody to a high frequency antigen. Name the System
  2. 5. The finding of exact similarities between a patient’s Blood and a donor’s Blood. This process involves careful and exacting laboratory tests
  3. 8. Special treatment of Red Blood cells that prevents Graft-Versus-Host Disease
  4. 9. Proteins that react with antigens on red Blood cells and may destroy transfused red Blood cells
  5. 11. The non-cellular liquid component of unclotted Whole Blood
  6. 13. The situation in which two different alleles for a trait are expressed unblended in the phenotype of heterozygous individuals
  7. 14. A type of antibody directed against substances recognized as foreign to the host
  8. 15. Antibody often seen in pregnancy. Name the System
  9. 17. A condition brought about by disease or chemotherapy where the individual is highly susceptible to infection
  10. 18. A substance on the surface of Red Blood Cells that elicits an immune response when transfused into a patient who lacks that antigen
  11. 19. A blood bank solution comprised primarily of salt water
  12. 20. The trade name for a solution containing sodium, dextrose, adenine and mannitol. Optisol supports red cell survival and extends the shelf life to 42 days

  1. 1. - Having the same allele at the same locus on both members of a pair of homologous chromosomes
  2. 3. Weakness, fatigue, and paleness resulting from a deficiency of red Blood cells or insufficient amounts of hemoglobin molecules within the red cells
  3. 4. The fluid which circulates throughout the body carrying nourishment and oxygen to the cells and tissue, and at the same time takes away waste matter and carbon dioxide

  6. 10. - Replacing Blood or Blood components a body has lost in surgery, through an accident, or as a result of medical treatment such as chemotherapy
  7. 12. The process of making antibodies against one’s self (one’s intrinsic antigens)
  8. 16. A process characterized by the alternations in the red Blood cells' integrity resulting in the release of hemoglobin into the surrounding medium in which the cells are suspended
