What is the alternative way to detect By flow cytometry using an FITC-labeled anti- IgG binding of antibody? reagent. As for antibody screening and The flow cytometric crossmatch identification, what is the most sensitive method for detecting donor-specific antibody? How to define tumor immunology? It is a study of the antigens associated with tumors, the immune response to tumors, the tumor’s effect on the host’s immune status, and the use of the immune system to help eradicate the tumor How is understood tumor immunology? It is best understood with the background on differences between tumor cells and normal cells. Why normal cell growth and division are It is designed to rapidly produce new cells when regulated processes? necessary, inhibit cell division when sufficient cells are present, and limit cell lifespan (programmed cell death, or apoptosis). How do we name the regulatory genes Protooncogenes that promote cell division? What protooncogenes can cause? They uninhibit cell division if their expression is altered or if they are mutated into oncogenes. What can cause tumors? Mutations or malfunctions in tumor suppressor genes that remove growth-inhibitory signals. What cells form tumors? Cells that possess many of the attributes of the normal cells from which they arose but have accelerated or dysregulated growth. If a tumor does not invade surrounding Benign tumor. tissue and normal body function is largely preserved, it is said to be?
