Serology techniques Flashcards
Clumping & sedimentation of particulate
Agglutination
Insoluble particle reacts with Antibody
Direct agglutination
(True or False):
Direct non-immune reaction is due to Antigen-Antibody rection
False (direct immune)
Latex agglutination test for Rheumatoid factor is an example of what type of agglutination?
Indirect / Passive
Antibody is attached to a carrier particle
Reverse passive agglutination
Agglutination inhibition is based on competition between ____ & ____
Particulate
Soluble antigens
It detects the presence of non-agglutinating antibodies by adding a second antibody
Antiglobulin test
Most frequently used bacteria in coagglutination
S. aureus
Immunoassay that uses gold as inert particle
Sol particle
Immunoassay that uses dye as inert particle
Disperse dye
It uses latex particles
IMPACT (Immunoassay by particle counting)
It is the combination of soluble antigen w/ antibody forming an insoluble complex
Precipiation
(True or False):
Avidity is the strength of primary interaction between single antigenic determinant and Ab binding site
False (Affinity)
It is the sum of all attractive forces between Ag-Ab
Avidity
Ag and Ab diffuse radially
Double dimension
