Final Flashcards
Acute serological markers for hepatitis
- Anti-HAV
- HBsAg
- Anti-HBc
- Anti-HCV
Simultaneous affected with HepB and HepD
Co-infection
Pre-existing HepB then infected with HepD
Super infection
Anti-HBc Ab
HBV Ab marker for indicates Current/recent infection
Anti-HBe Ab
HBV Ab marker for rEcovery from infection
Anti-HBs Ab
HBV Ab marker for immunity to HBV (only seen in vaccinated people)
HBsAg
HBV Ag marker for active infection
HBeAg
HBV Ag marker for high degree of infectivity

Excitation light
occurs at smaller wavelength and higher energy; incident
Emission light
higher wavelength and lower energy; fluorescent
Conventional microscope
uses light to illuminate the sample and produce a magnified image of the sample
Fluorescence microscope
uses a much higher intensity light to illuminate the sample
The antibodies used in emission light are labeled with what?
Fluorophores that can absorb light from incident light and convert into light with high wavelength and lower energy
