|
the positive feedback amplification loop of the alternate pathwaya
|
|
antibody -mediated therapy for cytokine mediated inflammatory diseases does what
|
Ig molceules bind to cytokine receptors
|
|

|
no
|
|
SCID is a pediatric______
|
emergency
|
|
chromosomal translocations to Ig loci could cause
|
malignant lmphoid cells
|
|
Biclonal myeloma occurs because
|
commitment to a particular H chain class occurs later, providing an opportunity for those rare multiple isotypic neoplasias to arise

|
elderly
|
|
what determines if gammopathies are monoclonal/polyclonal
|

|
antibiotics for infections
|
|
few peripheral T cells could indicate ____or_____
|
viral/fungal infections
autoimmunity |
|
penicillin-specific Ab can bind___ and induce ____
|
RBC and hapten and induce autoimmune hemolytic anemia
|
|
if there is a coombs positive test-
|
discontinue drug and transfuse normal ABO-matched RBC
|
|

candida albicans- yeast
|
|
A similar phenotype of X-linked agammaglobulinemia exists in patients with
|
