Calculate the phagocytic activity if from 100 counted phagocytes 65 cells have ingested material:
% PHA = (65 / 100) * 100 = 65%
What is a main purpose of respiratory burst in phagocytes?
Creation of oxidative radicals which destroy ingested material (X)
for lysis of erythrocytes in procedure of separation of all leucocytes from whole blood?
1:2:1
For evaluation of differential white cell count, the blood smear is stained by:
Pappenheim
Which immune cells are professional phagocytes?
Neutro, mono/macro
Granules in eosinophils stained by Pappenheim are:
Red
In test for respiratory burst activity in phagocytes tetrazolium salt is:
Reduced into a coloured formazan
Immune responses of organisms can be detected in two general ways. They are?
a) Detection of an antigen by the help of specific antibody
b) Detection of the presence of specific antibodies in serum → determination whether animal has been previously exposed to a specific antigen
Define antigens (Ag) and antibodies (Ab)
- Antigens (Ag): molecules that stimulate immune response - Antibodies (Ab): antigen-binding proteins secreted by plasma cells or present on the B- cell membrane - Smá auka: injection of Ag into a body → production of Ab → they form a complex and Ag destruction by help of other immune mechanisms occur
The three tests that are most applied in agglutination include:
- Slide agglutination: direct and indirect or passive (latex agglutination) - Tube agglutination - Haemagglutination
Positive result in slide agglutination is identified by:
- Visible clumping with clearing of the suspension
Tube agglutination is a direct agglutination and can be readily used to:
- Determine titer of antibodies
