28
Q

One of the most sensitive and most specific methods of immuneassays

A

Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

29
Q

Immunoassay method: It involves the competitive binding of radio-labeled THC and the patient’s THC which are both specific to a high-affinity Anti-THC antibody.

A

Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

30
Q

Sensitivity range of RIA

A

0.0006–0.006 μg antibody/ml

31
Q

Immunoassay method: This is based on the competition
between THC and a THC–fluorescein tracer for a THC-specific antibody

A

Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay (FPIA)

32
Q

FPIA: When a fluorophore in solution is exposed to plane-polarized light at its excitation wavelength, the resulting emission is

A

depolarized

33
Q

FPIA: Depolarization results from the motion of the fluorophore during the process of

A

Excitation
Emission

34
Q

FPIA: the more depolarized the resulting emission, the more rapid the motion of the fluorophore is (T/F)

A

F, its the other way around

35
Q

A commercially prepared THC is linked
covalently to the fluorophore to make a
fluorescent tracer

A

FPIA

36
Q

In the ____ of THC, the antibody binds to
the tracer, restricting its motion and causing a
high polarization

A

ABSENCE

37
Q

In the ____ of THC → less of the tracer is bound to the antibody and a greater fraction exists unbound in solution, in which the polarization is less

A

PRESENCE

38
Q

FPIA: The polarization value is directly proportional to the THC concentration in the sample (T/F)

A

F, inversely

39
Q

This is the main outcome of the chromatographic method
