24
Q

Classical Molecular Technique

what are under the DNA/RNA probes for hybridization

A
  • DOT blot
  • Southern Blot
  • In-situ hybridization (DNA in cell)
  • FISH
25
Q

Classical Molecular Technique - TOF

this techniques usually more tedious and expensive than the conventional techniques. Not widely accepted

A

True

26
Q

what are the newer molecular techniques

A
  • PCR (amplification technique)
  • Commercial proprietary techniques
27
Q

Newer Molecular Techniques

under pcr

A
  • Real-time PCR
  • RT-PCR
28
Q

Newer Molecular Technique

Commercial proprietary techniques

A
  • NASBA: Nucleic Acid Based Amplification
  • LCR: Ligase Chain Reaction
  • TMA: Transcription-Mediated Amplification
29
Q

Indirect Examination

what is the first thing should be done

A

Virus Isolation

30
Q

Indirect Examination

after virus isolation, what step should incur

A

Virus Identification

31
Q

Indirect Examination

what are the can be used as a medium under viral isolation?

A
  • Cell culture
  • embryonated eggs
  • chick embryo - seldomly used
  • animals can also be used
32
Q

Indirect Examination

what are the 3 types of Cell Cultures?

A
  • Primary
  • Semicontinuos (Secondary)
  • Continous
33
Q

What type of cell culture

  • From normal adult tissue (usually monkey kidney)
  • Can be subcultured (once or twice)
  • Best cell culture system (Supports widest range of viruses)
  • Very expensinve
A

Primary Cell Culture

34
Q

What type of cell culture

  • From Embryonic tissue – Considered as stem cell (kaya pwede ma subculture ng marami)
  • Human embryonic kidney and skin fibroblast
A

Semicontinuous (secondary) cell culture

35
Q

What type of cell culture

  • From Malignaant Tissue (HeLa Vero. Hep2 LLC-MK2 and MDCK)
  • Most easy to handle – cause its immortal cells
  • Easier to grow – grow in resit surface (??) and suspension
  • Can be subculture immortaly and indefinitely
A

Continous cell culture

36
Q

if u see this card

A

go over the cell culture

37
Q

what are the 2 factors to be considered in detection of the virus in culture?

A
  • Presence of cytopathic effect
  • Hemeadsorption
38
Q

Detection of the Virus in Culture - under what factor

this maybe specific or non-specific
- Balloning of cells
- Syncytia formation
- Detaching of cells in the plate

A

Presence of cytopathic effect

39
Q

Detection of the Virus in Culture - under what factor

Positive Result: Heme agglutination; carpet cell of red cell

Negative Result: Button cells

A

Hemeadsorption

40
Q

what are the test under Conformation of the Identity of Virus

A
  • Neutralization Test
  • Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI) Test
  • Immunofluoresence
41
Q

Conformation of the Identity of Virus

(Virus + specific Ab against virus) + different cell culture → NO Cytophatic Effect

A

Neutralization Test

42
Q

Conformation of the Identity of Virus

(Virus + specific antibody) + RBC → NO hemagglutination

A

Q

Detect antibodies but it takes two week or more before positive result are obtained

A

Serology

50
Q

Serology - TOF

also for detection of antigen in antibodies of viruses
