Assay
What is avidity?
The strength of the bond, keeps the bond
Precipitation is important because of what?
The antigen-antibody reaction
Precipitation can be done on what?
In tube, in gel, on paper just as long as the antigen and antibody meet
Strength of the reaction depends on what in precipitation?
If the antigen is the original antigen that the antibody was made for.
Cross reaction is what in precipitation?
The antigen is similar but not specific for what the antibody.
What is affinity?
The initial force that draws them together
Affinity includes what type of bonds?
Ionic bonds
Hydrogen bonds
Hydrophobic bonds
Van der waals bonds
What is pro zone?
Too much antibody
What is postzone?
Too much antigen
What is zone of equivalence?
The perfect amount of antigen and antibody Equal portion to each other
What do you do if you have pro zone?
Dilute the solution
What do you do with a postzone?
Wait 5 days and test again
What does pro zone cause?
False negative
What does postzone cause?
False negative
What happens if you go past the time on your test?
A drying effect happens and it gives a false positive
Nephelometry is what?
measures the light that is scattered at a particular angle(usually at 90) usually ran as antibody as the reagent and the patient antigen as the unknown…. quantitation of serum proteins
What is Turbidimetry?
is a measure of the turbidity or cloudiness of a solution
What is RID?
Radial immunodiffusion
has been commonly used in the clinical laboratory?
RID- radial immunodiffusion
What is a test that uses RID?
Ouchterlony
How long does it take for Ouchterlony test?
24-72 hours
What goes in the center and outside of the Ouchterlony?
Center is antibody
Side is antigen
What are you looking for in the Ouchterlony?
Lines of precipitation
What does the point in an Ouchterlony test tell us?
They are identical
