Q

What does an x mean in an Ouchterlony test? (Make a cross)

A

Not identical

30
Q

What does one tag mean in a Ouchterlony test?

A

Partially identical

31
Q

Which side is weaker when a partial identity is made in Ouchterlony test?

A

The one the tag points to.

32
Q

Ouchterlony is used on what?

A

Fungus- aspergillosis

33
Q

Rocket immunoassay what is put in the well?

34
Q

Rocket immunoassay what is in the gel?

35
Q

Is rocket immunoassay qualitative or quantitative?

A

Quantitative

36
Q

How long does rocket immunoassay take?

37
Q

Immuno fixation is to do with what?

A

Antibodies

38
Q

Describe Immuno fixation electrophoresis.

A

After electrophoresis takes place, the anti sera is applied directly to the top of the gel. We get a pattern we can blot off and use.

39
Q

What is immunofixation useful in?

A

Demonstrating antigens present in serum, urine, and spinal fluid in low concentrations.

40
Q

What test is good for a person with a lymphoproliferative disorder?

And what are we looking for?

A

Electrophoresis to separate the immunoglobulins and then immunofixation on the positives to identify

IgM Kappa Para protein

41
Q

What can an antibody be labeled with?

A

Enzyme

Chemical

Radioactive isotope

Fluorescence

42
Q

With fluorescences, how do we measure it?

A

We hit with one wavelength of light, very strong light, and it’s going to emit a different light back at a low and longer wavelength

43
Q

How do we measure with Radioactive isotopes?

A

Count them.

44
Q

How do we measure with enzymes?

A

Add a substrate which is going to cause a reaction and a color.

45
Q

How do we measure with a chemical?

A

Add something that will oxidize with that enzyme and cause a flash of light. We will measure the light

46
Q

What do we use to measure things that are in very low levels in the body, like hormones?

A

Radioactive isotopes

47
Q

What are extremely sensitive?

A

Radioactive isotopes

48
Q

What is usually used as the substrate in an EIA test?

A

Horseradish peroxidase

49
Q

What is the competitive test?

A

There are two antibodies and they compete for one antigen. One is labeled.

50
Q

When would we use a competitive test?

A

Something that is in Very low concentration and is hard to pick up. The measure we get will be indirectly portional to actual concentration.

51
Q

Is an Indirect test competitive or non competitive?

A

Competitive

52
Q

What is a very important step with ELISA tests?

A

Wash stage

53
Q

What happens if you do not wash all of the excess antibody from the Elisa test?

A

Falsely increased measure

54
Q

If you leave the ELISA test in the color reaction stage to long, what will happen?

A

Have a false increased result

55
Q

If you have an ELISA test and you read the absorbent and it is higher than your standard what would you do?

A

Dilute it down and run it again

56
Q

What is forward scatter in flow cytometry?

A

It measures the size of the cells

57
Q

What is side scatter in flow cytometry?

A

It measures the granulation of the cells

58
Q

what angle is side scatter at in flow cytometry?

A

90 degrees

59
Q

What is flow cytometry used for?

A

To count cells

to differentiate cells into sub populations

60
Q

what is immunophenotyping?

A

subgroups of cells

like CD4, CD8, CD3

61
Q

How do we look at a certain cell, like CD4?

62
Q

What does flow cytometry use to give measurement by?

A

fluorescenses

63
Q

What is the patterns name?

what antibodies are connected to this pattern?

what disease?

A

Peripheral (RIM)

anti-DNA

SLE

64
Q

What is this pattern?

What is the antibody connected to this pattern?

what is the disease associated?

65
Q

what is this pattern?

what is the antibody connected?

what is the disease associated?
