EXPERIMENT 13, 14, 15 Flashcards
is useful in the diagnosis of Streptococcal infection and its
relative effects on organs, especially the heart and kidneys.
Anti – Streptolysin O (ASO) test
is a corkscrew – shaped, gram – negative rod that infects the mucous layer of the stomach.
Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is the most common of (?), and is etiologically involved in gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and primary gastric B – cell lymphoma.
gastritis
Hepatitis B virus is a member of the (?). It is a (?) virion, with an (?) nucleocapsid core containing a rapidly (?) DNA genome.
Hepadnaviridae family
42 mm enveloped
icosahedral
double stranded circular
The envelope contains a protein called the (?), which is important for laboratory diagnosis and immunization.
surface antigen (HBsAg)
is the earliest serological marker that indicates the presence of acute infection.
HBsAg
HBsAg is also indicative of
chronic infection.

The (?) is a rapid slide agglutination test for the direct detection and semi – quantitation of anti – streptolysin O.
anti – streptolysin O (ASO) latex test
the antigen, a particulate latex suspension coated with streptolysin O, agglutinates in the presence of specific antibodies present in the sera of patients with
Streptococcal β – hemolytic infection.
Helicobacter pylori antibody test (?) in a cassette format.
chromatographic lateral flow test device
Colloidal gold conjugated Helicobacter pylori antigens are dry – immobilized at the end of nitrocellulose membrane strip.
