Immunology Flashcards
1) RID
2) Ouchterlony double diffusion
Mancini/endpoint method
Fahey&mckelvey/kinetic
Both ag-ab diffuse independently thru a semi-solid medium
Serologic identity =
Non-identity =
Partial identity =
Ouchterlony DD
smooth curve
crossed line
spur-formation ; ab precip. ag w/ common determinant
Precipitation by electrophoretic techniques
- rocket immunoelectrophoresis
- countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis
- immunofixation electrophoresis
Rocket
RID + EP
Height/apex = Ag conc
Countercurrent EP
Source of Ag
Sign of abnormality
Px serum wc is EPd in separate protein fractions
Change in shapre, loc, and intensity of precipitin arc
Phases of agglu
Sensi
Lattice form
enhancement oflattice f
LISS, PEG, enz, pH, adjusting temp
Types of agglu
Direct Passive Reverse Passive Coagglu Agglu Inhibition Antiglobulin-mediated agglu
Direct agglu
Ex.
Ex. Hemagglu = Ag is found on RBCs
Passive agglu
Ex.
Ex. ASO latex agglutination test
Ag on surface of particle
Direct agglu
Ag is attached to the carrier particle
Passive agglu
Agglu occurs if px Ab is present
Passive agglu
Ab is attached to the c.part
Reverse passive agglu
Agglu occurs if px ag is present
Reverse passive agglu
