Q

In serum sickness, ________ can be used as control to evaluate and validate the reagent used.

A

Antibodies

22
Q

What is the Principle of Paul Bennet Test?

A

Hemagglutination

23
Q

Presumptive test for the presence for
heterophile antibodies

A

Paul Bennet Test

24
Q

Detects the antibodies of infectious
mononucleosis, Forssman, and serum sickness

A

Paul Bennet Test

25
Q

Paul Bennet test can identify the specific nature of the
heterophil antibody.

True or False

A

False

Cannot identify the specific nature of the
heterophil antibody and Can only tell if heterophil antibodies
are present

26
Q

Paul bennet test is incapable of determining specificity and is only
indicative of the presence or absence of
heterophil

True or False

A

True

27
Q

Reagent Antigen in Paul Bennet Test

A

2% suspension of sheep rbcs

28
Q

Antibody used in Paul Bennet test

A

Heterophil Abs in patient’s serum

29
Q

(+) in Paul bennet test means

A

there is hemmagglutination and presence of heterophil antibodies

30
Q

Principle of Davidson Differential test

A

Absorption hemagglutination

31
Q

What are the Two steps in Davidson Differential Test?

A

A. Absorption
B. Hemagglutination

32
Q

Exposure of test serum to both beef cells and
guinea pig cell which causes absorption of
either one or both of these antibodies

A

Absorption

33
Q

Antigen in Davidson Differential Test

A

guinea pig kidney and beef rbcs

34
Q

Antibodies in Davidson Differential Test

A

heterophil abs in patient’s serum

35
Q

Indicator cells in Davidson Differential Test

A

Sheep RBCs

36
Q

The “Absorbed Agglutinins” (precipitates)
are removed by centrifugation and the
resultant fluid (supernatant) are then tested
with Sheep RBC

A

Hemagglutination

37
Q

If the tube in Davidson is positive for absorption ->
Antibody titer will _________ -> Agglutination
___________

A

decrease, weakens

38
Q

If the tube in Davidson is negative for absorption ->
antibody titer will _________ -> agglutination is
____________

A

increase, strong

39
