Question
Chapter 22, Problem 19CP
Summary Introduction
To identify:
If the number of antibodies in the blood to be increasing or decreasing as if a sample of lymph contains an elevated number of plasma cells.
Concept introduction:
Lymph is a type of fluid that contains trace amount of suspended proteins and circulates throughout the body via lymphatic system. While the plasma cells are differentiated from B-cells and are responsible for producing antibodies.

A sample of lymph contains an elevated number of plasma cells. Would you expect the number of antibodies in the blood to be increasing or decreasing? Why?
If you are transfusing blood to a hypothetical patient, is it more important that the transfused blood have antigens that will not react with the recipient’s antibodies or antibodies that will not react with the recipient’s antigens? Pick one and briefly explain why.
In a hematocrit, which layer would you expect to see antibodies?
