THE VISIBLE MANIFESTATION OF AG-AB INTERACTION
AGGLUTINATION
PROPERTIES AND RELATIVE CONCENTRATIONS OF AG AND AB ALLOW SUFFICIENT
LATTICE FORMATION
STABLE NETWORK FORMED BY THE BINDING OF AN ANTIBODY BINDING TO MORE THAN ONE ANTIGEN
LATTICE
PARTICLES NEEDED TO VISIBLY INDICATE THAT AN AG AND AB REACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE
CARRIER PARTICLES
TWO STEP PROCESS THAT RESULTS IN A STABLE LATTICE FORMATION
AGGLUTINATION
EXAMPLE OF AN ARTIFICIAL CARRIER PARTICLE
LATEX PARTICLES
EXAMPLE OF A BIOLOGICAL CARRIER PARTICLE
RED BLOOD CELLS
BINDING SITE IN AGGLUTINATION
FAB FRAGMENT
AG-AB COMBINATION THROUGH SINGLE ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS ON THE PARTICLE SURFACE
SENSITIZATION
IS SENSITIZATION A REVERSIBLE CHEMICAL REACTION
YES
IS THE AG-AB BINDING REACTION REVERSIBLE
YES
LAW THAT GOVERNS AG-AB BINDING
LAW OF MASS
LAW OF MASS ORDER
WHAT IS THE LAW OF MASS
FREE REACTANTS TARE IN EQUILIBRIUM WITH BOUND REACTANTS
INITIAL FORCE OF ATTRACTION
AFFINITY
TYPE OF BONDS THAT HOLD AG-AB TOGETHER
NONCOVALENT BONDS
TRUE OR FALSE
THERE IS NO NEED FOR A CLOSE FIT BETEEN AG-AB
FALSE
DOES THE STRENGTH OF ATTRACTION DEPEND ON THE SPECIFICITY OF AN AB FOR A PARTICULAR AG
YES
THE REACTION OF AB WITH AG THAT ARE STRUCTURALLY SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL AG THAT INDUCED ITS AB PRODUCTION
CROSS REACTIVITY
FUNCTIONAL COMBINING STRENGTH OF AN AB WITH ITS AG
AVIDITY
THE SUM OF ALL THE ATTRACTIVE FORCES BETWEEN AN AG AND AB
AVIDITY
TRUE OR FALSE
HIGH AVIDITY CANNOT COMPENSATE FOR LOW AFFINITY
FALSE
AVIDITY CAN COMPENSATE FOR LOW AFFINITY
THE FORMATION OF CROSS LINKS THAT FORM THE VISIBLE AGGREGATES
LATTICE FORMATION
THE STABILIZATION OF AG-AB COMPLEXES WITH THE BINDING OF MULTIPLE AG DETERMINANTS
LATTICE FORMATION
FACTORS THAT AFFECT AGGLUTINATION
NATURE AND CLASS OF AB MOLECULES
AG-AB RATIO
PARTICLE CHARGE
PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
NATURE OF THE AG-BEARING SURFACE
ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PARTICLES
IMMUNOGLOBULIN THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT AT AGGLUTINATION
IgM
WHY ARENT IgG ABs ABLE TO OVERCOME ELECTROSTATIC FORCES BETWEEN CELLS
BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SMALL
COMPARED TO IGM WHICH ARE LARGER
PHENOMENON WHERE AB>AG
PROZONE PHENOMENON
PHENOMENON WHERE AG=AB
ZONE OF EQUIVALENCE
PHENOMENON WHERE AG>AB
POSTZONE PHENOMENON
NET NEGATIVE CHARGE
ZETA POTENTIAL
ZONE IN WHICH OPTIMUM PRECIPITATION OCCURS
ZONE OF EQUIVALENCE
FOR A PRECIPITATION REACTION TO BE DETECTABLE, THE REACTION MUST OCCUR WHERE
IN THE
ZONE OF EQUIVALENCE
PHENOMENON IN WHEREIN EXCESSIVE ANTIBODY CONCENTRATION IS PRESENT
PROZONE PHENOMENON
RESULT OF A PROZONE PHENOMENON
FALSE NEGATIVE
WHAT OCCURS IN A PROZONE PHENOMENON
AG COMBINES WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO AB MOLECULES
NO CROSS LINKS ARE FORMED
SOLUTION TO A PROZONE PHENOMENON
SERIAL DILUTION THE SERUM UNTIL OPTIMUM AMOUNTS OF AG AND AB ARE PRESENT
EXCESS OF ANTIGEN
POSTZONE PHENOMENON
PHENOMENON IN WHEREIN EXCESSIVE ANTIGEN CONCENTRATION IS PRESENT
POSTZONE PHENOMENON
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE POSTZONE PHENOMENON
EXCESS ANTIGEN IS PRESENT
NO LATTICE FORMATION IS ESTABLISHED
TOO MUCH AG CAN BLOCK THE PRESENCE OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF AB
SOLUTION TO A POSTZONE PHENOMENON
RECOLLECT BLOOD SPECIMEN 1 OR MORE WEEKS LATER

INCREASES ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF ENVIRONMENT
[REDUCTION OF ZETA POTENTIAL]
ACTION OF CENTRIFUGATION
MECHANICAL PROCESS TO FORE RED BLOOD CELLS CLOSER TOGETHER
THE REDUCTION OF ZETA POTENTIAL ENHANCES. WHAT
