Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process that is responsible for the increase in a number of lymphocytes.
Concept introduction:
Lymphocytes are the type of white blood cells which carries the response of the adaptive immunity. They are of two types B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are also known as T cells are the specialized thymocytes that originate in the thymus and constitute 70% to 80% of lymphocytes circulating in the blood. B lymphocytes also known as B cells remain in the red bone marrow until the time of their differentiation. The B cell gets activated when the molecular shape of an antigen fits the shape of its antigenic receptor and produce antibodies.

A patient requires a blood transfusion after experiencing blood loss due to a traumatic injury. The
patient's record lists their blood type as B+, Out of the following available options in the blood bank,
what is the best type of donor blood to give to this patient?
O Type A blood with antibodies removed via centrifugation
O Type O- blood with antibodies removed via centrifugation
Type AB+ blood with antibodies removed via centrifugation
O Type O- whole blood
A patient is brought to the emergency, bleeding profusely. He needs a blood
transfusion. After his blood group is determined the blood bank technician, tells the
intern that this patient can receive blood from any donor, using just the ABO and Rh
typing criteria.(we will disregard the other minor groups). Which blood group do you
think the patient belongs to?
A-
B+
AB+
A male toddler has been experiencing fatigues and headaches weeks after moving in a semi renovated condominium. During the physical exam, the parent mentioned also of mild headaches from time to time since some construction materials are in the hallway and the pungent smell of paint is still there. The physician ordered laboratory tests. Complete blood count showed a slight decrease in hemoglobin and hematocrit and low MCHC and MCV. Precipitated RNA can also be seen in the PBS. Identify the disease associated and what can be the main cause?

- An MLS student on her clinical rotation is running an immunofixation electrophoresis procedure on a 49 yo. male. She notes something peculiar in the total serum protein lane or in some systems this is called the SPE lane. In this lane, there is no band where albumin should be. All of the other bands are present. She checks the patient’s chemistry profile to find that his serum albumin is in the normal range.1. Is albumin an anion or cation?2. Which direction should albumin move during electrophoresis, toward the anode or cathode?3. What possible reason or reasons would cause the albumin not to show up on the gel?4. Should the test be repeated and if so how should it be done differently?5. Is it possible that the patient’s Iiver does not produce albumin due to chronic liver disease and that is why it did not show up on the SPE?arrow_forwardAn MLS student on her clinical rotation is running an immunofixation electrophoresis procedure on a 49 yo. male.

- BACKGROUND A 2-year-old black girl is being seen by the hematologist after her pediatrician found her to be severely anemic with splenomegaly and jaundice. Her mother gives a possible history of a “blood problem” in her family but doesn’t know for sure. Her hemoglobin electrophoresis was normal, and the complete blood count (CBC) revealed a normocytic anemia. The platelet and white blood cell counts are normal. On the peripheral smear, there are many bizarre erythrocytes, including spiculated cells. A diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is made. Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) can be inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that a child must inherit a gene with the disease-causing mutation from both parents in order for the disorder to be inherited. The PLKR gene regulates the synthesis of the pyruvate kinase enzyme, which is located in the liver and red blood cells.
