The painting depicts a man and woman intertwined, he standing, bowed, while she kneels on an idealized quilt-like meadow of flowers. Their proximity to the top of the painting heightens the sense of intimacy and also suggests the possibility of transcending worldly constraints. We see little of the lovers—the back of his head, her face, their hands and feet, simply rendered but wrapped in golden raiment decorated with distinct mosaics. The man’s figure is comprised of juxtaposed rectangles and the woman’s of clustered circles, a geometry that hints at both the contrast and complement of their union. Despite its shapelessness, the gilded mass of clothing serves to intensify and exalt the physical act of the kiss and thus consecrates the couple and love itself. This issue includes Waider’s review on the use of saline replacement to identify rouleaux—the stacked coin appearance of the red cells likened to “clustered circles.” David Moolten, MD ii IMMUNOHEMATOLOGY, Volume 34, Number 3, 2018 R EVIEW Proceedings from the International Society of Blood Transfusion Working Party on Immunohaematology, Workshop on the Clinical Significance of Red Blood Cell Alloantibodies, September 2, 2016, Dubai Clinical significance of antibodies to antigens in the Raph, John Milton Hagen, I, Globoside, Gill, Rh-associated glycoprotein, FORS, JR, LAN, Vel, CD59, and Augustine blood group systems M.

    27. CLINICAL INDICATIONS FOR CRYOPRECIPITATE AND FIBRINOGEN CONCENTRATE Cryoprecipitate is indicated in the treatment of fibrinogen deficiency or dysfibrinogenaemia.1 Fibrinogen concentrate is licenced for the treatment of acute bleeding episodes in patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiency, including afibrinogenaemia and hypofibrinogenaemia,2 and is currently funded under the National Blood Agreement. Key messages y Fibrinogen is an essential component of the coagulation system, due to its role in initial platelet aggregation and formation of a stable fibrin clot.3 y The decision to transfuse cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate to an individual patient should take into account the relative risks and benefits.3 y The routine use of cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate is not advised in medical or critically ill patients.2,4 y Cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate may be indicated in critical bleeding if fibrinogen levels are not maintained using FFP. In the setting of major obstetric haemorrhage, early administration of cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate may be necessary.3 Clinical implications y The routine use of cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate in medical or critically ill patients with coagulopathy is not advised. The underlying causes of coagulopathy should be identified; where transfusion is considered necessary, the risks and benefits should be considered for each patient. Specialist opinion is advised for the management of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (MED-PP18, CC-PP7).2,4 y Cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate may be indicated in critical bleeding if fibrinogen levels are not maintained using FFP. In patients with critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion, suggested doses of blood components is 3-4g (CBMT-PP10)3 in adults or as per the local Massive Transfusion Protocol.

The CD CD8 CD8 nomenclature was developed and is maintained through the HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) workshop started in 1982. CD45R/B220 CD19 CD19 The goal is to provide standardization of monoclonal antibodies to B Cell CD20 CD22 (B cell activation marker) human antigens across laboratories. To characterize or “workshop” the antibodies, multiple laboratories carry out blind analyses of antibodies. These results independently validate antibody specificity. CD11c CD11c Dendritic Cell CD123 CD123 While the CD nomenclature has been developed for use with human antigens, it is applied to corresponding mouse antigens as well as antigens from other species. However, the mouse and other species NK Cell CD56 CD335 (NKp46) antibodies are not tested by HLDA. Human CD markers were reviewed by the HLDA.

Abstract: The role of C5a receptors (C5aR1 and C5L2) in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is uncertain. We generated an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation with human proximal tubule epithelial cells to mimic some IRI events. C5aR1, membrane attack complex (MAC) and factor H (FH) deposits were evaluated with immunofluorescence. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction evaluated the expression of C5aR1, C5L2 genes as well as genes related to tubular injury, inflammation, and profibrotic pathways. Additionally, C5aR1 and C5L2 deposits were evaluated in kidney graft biopsies (KB) from transplant patients with delayed graft function (DGF, n = 12) and compared with Citation: Arias-Cabrales, C.; a control group (n = 8). We observed higher immunofluorescence expression of C5aR1, MAC and FH Rodriguez-Garcia, E.; Gimeno, J.; as higher expression of genes related to tubular injury, inflammatory and profibrotic pathways and Benito, D.; Pérez-Sáez, M.J.; of C5aR1 in the hypoxic cells; whereas, C5L2 gene expression was unaffected by the hypoxic stimulus.
