Across
- 6. lysis or rupture of erythrocytes
- 8. plant lectin with specificity for the A1 antigen
- 10. strength of the binding between a single antibody and an epitope of an antigen
- 12. leukocyte that mediates humoral or cell-mediated immunity
- 13. a substance which induces an immune response in the body, especially the production of antibodies
- 14. antibody removed from red cells to be used for antibody identification
Down
- 1. unresponsive to platelet transfusions
- 2. glycoprotein secreted by plasma cells that binds to specific epitopes on antigenic substances
- 3. stronger agglutination when a red cell antigen is expressed from homozygous genes
- 4. plant lectin with specificity for the H antigen
- 5. individual who inherits the genotype sese and does not express H soluble substance
- 7. compatibility testing procedure in which donor RBCs are combined with the patient’s serum to determine the serologic compatibility between donor and patient
- 9. immunoglobulin or complement attached to the cells from the immune system (in vivo) or from a test procedure (in vitro)
- 10. overall strength of reaction between several epitopes and antibodies
- 11. phenotype of an individual who genetically has inherited h allele in homozygous manner; individual’s red cells lack H and ABO antigens
