2026 QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
◍ A phenotype subgroup.
Answer:
◍ Heska Element DC5x.
Answer:
◍ A1 vs A2 subgroups.
Answer: A1: More antigen sites; A2: Fewer antigen sites, may produce
anti-A1 antibodies.
◍ Babesia canis inclusions in a canineerythrocyte.
Answer:
◍ Hybridoma procedure.
Answer: Process of creating monoclonal antibodies through fusion of
myeloma, tumor cells and antibody producing cells
◍ Gram Stain Kit: gram positive bacteria will appear purple-blue. Gram
negative bacteria will appear reddish-pink..
Answer:
◍ . Dipylidium caninum proglottids on astool sample..
Answer:
◍ Cytauxzoon felis inclusions in felineerythrocytes..
Answer:
◍ Calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals.
Answer:
,◍ LISS.
Answer:
◍ Sources of antibody in reagent.
Answer: Commercial antisera containing known antibodies, patient serum or
plasma
◍ Urinalysis Analyzers: Depending on your equipment, can perform the
chemical and sediment analysis of samples. No analyzer will complete a full
physical examination of the sample..
Answer:
◍ undulate/wavy margins.
Answer:
◍ Importance of record keeping in transfusion medicine.
Answer: Ensures traceability of blood products, patient safety, and
regulatory compliance.
◍ Classical complement pathway in blood bank.
Answer: Exposure to foreign antigen causes production of IGM or IGG
antibody capable of binding compliment intervascular homolysis of
transfused red blood cells can occur if antigen is present on red blood cell
results in serious transfusion reaction the good news we can test for
complement activation by detecting presence of C3 B on red blood cell
surface
◍ Circular Growth.
Answer:
◍ Yeast: fungus with a shape described as a peanut, shoeprint, or snowman..
Answer:
◍ Allele.
Answer: Alternative form of a gene.
◍ Pulvinate growth elevation.
Answer:
, ◍ Sources of antigen in reagent.
Answer: Reagent patient and donor red blood cells
◍ Types of reagent red cells.
Answer: Screening cells: Detect rbc antibodies; Panel cells: Identify rbc
antibodies; A1 and B cells in ABO serum testing
◍ Heterozygous.
Answer: Two alleles for a given trait are different
◍ Naturally occurring antibody.
Answer: Example: Anti-A, Anti-B (ABO system).
◍ Zoetis VS2.
Answer:
◍ Sterile Cotton Tipped Applicators: Sterile sample collection for culture &
sensitivity procedures..
Answer:
◍ Primary immune response.
Answer: Initial exposure, helper, T cells interact with antigen MB cells, lag
phase 5 to 7 days to produce detectable antibody antibody levels rise,
plateau, and then decline igm antibodies produced first then IgG antibodies
produced primary response to foreign red. Blood cells is not sufficient to
cause a transfusion reaction.
◍ Sector versus non-sector.
Answer:
◍ Rhipicephalus sanguineus is a tick species.
Answer:
◍ Lectins and antigen specificity.
Answer: Dolichos biflorus = A1 antigen; Ulex europaeus = H antigen
◍ Bibulous Paper: used to dry slides. Care must be taken when using bibulous
paper as too much pressure can cause the sample to be removed from the
