- how often does transplacental hemorrhaging of fetal RBCs into the maternal circulation occur?

- answer✔transplacental hemorrhage of fetal RBCs into the maternal circulation occurs in up to

7% of women during gestation. At delivery, the risk increased to about 50%


what else can be the cause hemorrhage - answer✔Test procedures (amniocentesis and chronic

villus sampling) and trauma can also be the cause of hemorrhage.


how many fetal RBCs are needed to stimulate the mother - answer✔only about 1 mL


Host factors that affect immunization - answer✔the ability of an individual to produce antibodies

in response to antigen exposure varies. some people will never produce an Ab even after repeat

exposure, where others will produce Abs to everything they are exposed to


Immunoglobulin class factors that affect immunization - answer✔IgG only class that can cross

the placenta

- IgG1 and IgG3 are more efficient in RBC hemolysis than IgG2 and 4

- types of subclasses the mother produces can affect the severity of the hemolysis


hemolysis - answer✔hemolysis occurs when the maternal AB attaches to the fetal RBC


- the AB coated RBCs are then removed from the circulation by the macrophages of the spleen


Rate of destruction depends on what - answer✔rate of destruction depends on titer and

specificity of the antibody and on the number of antigenic sites present on the RBCs
