Terratoma
Quantitative test used to differentiate true pregnancy from chorioepithelioma.
Ascheim-Zondek Test
Principle of Ascheim-Zondek Test
When Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is injected to immature female white mice; it will cause enlargement of ovary and appearance of hemorrhagic spots macroscopically and the ripening of graffian follicle of corpus luteum microscopically.

24 hours
in ascheim, the mice is.
killed 96 to 100 hours after 1st injection and After killing the mice, performed AUTOPSY using ETHER.
Quantitative test used in suspended hydatidiform, terratoma and tumor of testes.
Friedmann’s Test
principle of friedmann’s
When HCG is injected in female virgin rabbit it will produce 1-6 corpura hemorrhagica in the surface of ovary. The ovary become full and may also have corpura lutea.
Animal used in Friedmann
Female Virgin Rabbit
specimen in friedmann
urine w/c is injected in the marginal ear
resemble/same with friedmann
Hoffman’s Test
specimen in hoffman
serum
what are the immunological pregnancy test
direct p.t
indirect p.t
immunological pt where urine is mixed with anti-serum (same with blood typing)
Direct P.T
in direct pt, a ___ should be observed.
agglutination
reading of agglutination in direct pt
With Agglutination: POSITIVE
Without Agglutination: NEGATIVE
test in direct pt
Dap Test
a test in direct pt that uses urine and serum and early as 4 days after, the result is already observe.
Dap Test
in indirect pregnancy agglutination is also observed where the results are read as..
✓ With Agglutination: NEGATIVE
ㄨ Without Agglutination: POSITIVE
tests in indirect pt
Gravindex
Ortho PT
Denco PT
a slide test for pregnancy where no agglutination is positive
Gravindex
Sensitive as early as 42 days after the
onset of the last menstruation.
Ortho PT
Ortho PT result is interpreted by..
appearance of turbidity where presence of turbidity = positive.
Denco PT is interpreted through..
- “doughnut-like” pattern is POSITIVE.
- “MAT” pattern only (test tube) is
NEGATIVE.
considered as less accurate and less popular.
Chemical PT
types of chemical pt
prenandiol test
iodine or lugol’s reaction test
a chemical pt that detect present of PROGESTERONE.
Prenandiol Test
the interpretation of results in Prenandiol
orange to deep brown is POSITIVE - amber & other colors are NEGATIVE.
chemical pt that Detects presence of the fight and flight emergency hormone EPINEPHRINE.
Iodine or Lugol’s Reaction Test
interpretation of result in Iodine or Lugol’s Reaction Test
deep orange to brown is POSITIVE.
A PT done by the clinicians/physicians.
Clinician’s Test
types of clinician test
Prostigmen Withdrawal Bleeding Test
Skin Colostrum Test
Primodos Oral Test
Gestex Tablet
process of Prostigmen Withdrawal Bleeding Test
- Prostigmen is injected to patients.
- Prostigmen injection is used.
- If woman menstruate 2 weeks after, she is not pregnant
skin colostrum test preparation
Colostrum preparation is injected to subcutaneous of arms of the patient.
(COLOSTRUM – 1st injection of the mammary
gland.)
interpretation of skin colostrum test
- If woman is not pregnant area will swell showing a REDDISH coloration and develop an allergy reaction.
- If the woman is pregnant, the body would not react as it would only secrete colostrum substances.
- RED and SWELLING is negative; NOT RED and NOT SWELLING is positive.
a clinician test that utilizes tablet/drugs
Primodos Oral Test
Gestex Tablet
in Primodos Oral Test, a tablet is taken..
2 tablets taken once a day for 2 consecutive days. (4 pcs) 4pcs/day.
interpretation of result of Primodos Oral Test
If woman menstruate 2-3 days after, she is not pregnant.
a tablet mistakenly considered as abortion tablet but is not.
Gestex Tablet
in gestex tablet, a tablet is taken..
orally taken (1 tablet per day)
interpretation of result in gestex tablet
Within 4-5 days, the woman bleeds if she is not pregnant, no bleeding occurs if she is pregnant.
a pt that is no longer used in the present time in clinical laboratories as it may cause false-positive pregnancy test results.
Biological PT
purpose of PT
1) Confirmation of early normal pregnancy.
2) Evaluation of abnormal pregnancy.
3) Study of trophoblastic disease.
causes of animal’s death in test
alkaline urine
toxic urine
susceptible animal
bacterial contamination
when test animal dies due to alkaline urine, the remedy is to..
acidify the urine by adding 0.1N HCl (the pH should at least be 6.0)
when test animal dies due to toxic urine where the toxic substances causes the death of animal, the remedy is to
Detoxify with Kaolin
If the test animal is sick it is considered as
Susceptible Animal
when a sick (susceptible) animal is injected, it would most likely to die as they are prone to disease therefore if this happens, the research should..
Find and make use of another animal
instead.
urine containing bacteria would most likely cause an infection to human. when the urine of those who are diagnosed with UTI/infections is used, the test animal would die. therefore, the remedy to this is to
Acidify the urine using 0.1N HCl
The HORMONE can be concentrated by adding
- Kaolin
- Absolute alcohol 3. Acetone
Defined as thespecific gonadotropic activity of 0.1 mg of HCG preparation which is required to produce cornification of vaginal epithelium of immature female rat.
International Unit
It is same with IU (measured as IU) but expressed in cc or smallest amount of urine that produces positive result.
Mouse Unit
produced in the placenta by the trophoblastic cells during the early months of pregnancy and is also measured as IU.
HCG - Human Chorionic Gonadotropic
CAUSES OF FALSE-POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST
Ectopic Pregnancy
Increase Follicle-stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Appendicitis
Abortion or Miscarriage
Seasonal variation of test animals
a false-positive pt where Fetus is developed outside the uterus (most Fallopian tube)
Ectopic Preganancy
what hormone produced by Anterior Pituitary Gland when increased may cause a false-positive pt?
Follicle-stimulating Hormone
how does abortion or miscarriage cause a false-positive pt?
happens when there is an abortion or miscarriage happened and the mother did not perform Dilatation & Curettage (D&C) cleansing of the uterus.
CAUSES OF FALSE NEGATIVE PREGNANCY TEST
- Low titer of concentration of hormone
- Low sensitivity of animal
- Toxic urine
