pan B-cell
What is CD20?
Pan B-cell
What is sIg? What is its importance?
Surface Immunoglobulin, if detected it confirms its a B
What is HLA-DR?
Class II MHC
What are characteristics of a T-independent Bcell response?
-IgM production only
-No memory
-Only certain Ag's induce
-Specific
-Ag's removed by RES or C'
What type of gammopathy is seen in a T-indep. Bcell response?
Monoclonal - each cell has only 1 heavy/1lite chain.

CD57
How is an absolute T4 or T8 cell count calculated?
Absolute lymph x % of Tcell
What type of receptor do macrophages/monocytes have lots of?
Fc receptor
Can macro/monos bind any cell?
No; need a receptor.
What can macros/monos recognize?
Cells coated w/ Ab
Cells coated w/ Complement
How do Macro/Monos function?
-Antigen processing
-Antigen presentation
What happens when Macro/monos present antigen?
They secrete Il-1 to assist Tcell prolif and IL-2 prod.

Quickly, what is another name for CID (comb. immunodef)?
Bare lymph syndrome - no DR
What 2 basic types of lab tests are done to differentiate the cmi's?
1. Functional assays
2. Cell marker analysis by flow
What are the 2 functional assay types?
1. Mitogens
2. MLC
what is the basic principle of functional assays?
Utilize radio-labeled thymadine uptake to show proliferation.
What are mitogens?
Things in nature that stimulate proliferation.
what is mlc?
mixed lymphocyte cultures
what is the principle of MLC?
also uses radio-labeled thymadine uptake to illustrate proliferation of cells.
List 3 Mitogens:
PHA - phytohemagglutinin
pwm - pokeweed mitogen
ConA - Concanaalin A
What do the mitogens stimulate?
-PHA
-PWM
-ConA
PHA stimulates Tcell prolifn.
PWM stimulates T/B cells
ConA stimulates Tc cells
How does MLC differ from mitogens?
The stimulation comes from irradiated lymphs, placed in culture with the test lymphs.
What sample types can flow cytometry be used on?
-blood
-bone marrow
-tissue
