Q

Homogenous Immunoassay technique

When Fluorescein-linked drug is bound to antibody, the fluorescein label does not rotate freely and the absorbed polarized light is emitted; when the label is free, it rotates in solution and the amount of emitted light is reduced

A

Q

Homogenous Immunoassay Technique

-Genetically engineered fragments of e-coli as enzyme label; activity of the enzyme requires an enzyme acceptor and an enzyme donor

-Reassociated enzyme hydrolyzes CPRG to CPR and galactose; CPRG does not absorb at 570 nm, but CPR does

-If a drug is found in the donor’s sample, the unbound Enzyme Donor part reassembles and reacts with the substrate and causes a change in the color absorbance.

A

Cloned Enzyme Donor Immunoassay (CEDIA)

*Think e-coli = C E

22
Q

Homogenous Immunoassay Technique

-Label = microparticle w/ several linked drugs
-No drugs present: microparticle binds multiple antibodies to form large aggregates (increase absorbance w/ time)

A

Kinetic Interaction of Microparticle in Solution (KIMS)

*Think: microparticle = aggregate; microparticle = M

23
Q

Heterogeneous Immunoassay Technique

Antibody coated wells; add analyte and labeled analyte, incubate, wash material, add substrate, develop color, add stop acid, measure color

A

Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

24
Q

Quants antigens between two layers of antibodies (capture and detection); antigen must have at least two epitopes capable of binding

A

Sandwich ELISA

25
Q

excessive antigen interferes with ability of detection antibodies to bind (resulting in reduced signal)

A

Hook Effect

26
Q

the degree of response in an immunoassay to a substance other than the analyte of interest

A

% cross reactivity

Cross-reactivity

(concentration reading of assay analyte)/(concentration of cross-reactivity analyte) x 100

27
Q

measures ability of test to correctly ID the positive cases

A

Sensitivity

*think opposite; positive = seNsitivity

Sensitivity (%)=(true positive)/((true positive+false negative)) x 100

28
Q

measures ability of test to correctly ID negative cases

A

Specificity

*think opposite; negative = sPecificity

Specificity (%)=(true negative)/((true negative+false positive)) x 100

47
Q

True or False:

In an EMIT immunoassay, more drug = increased NADH production.

A

True

*Think homogenous so result is proportional to amount of drug in sample

Q

90% of Ig in the serum is:
IgM
IgG

IgG

In normal serum, about 80% is IgG, 15% is IgA, 5% is IgM, 0.2% is IgD and a trace is IgE.
