Test 4 Flashcards
We may determine number of leukocytes by counting of cells using
Microscope and Burker chamber
The blood in which we want to determine the number of leukocytes is
Diluted in Turk solution (1:20)
We count leukocytes in
50 medium squares of Burker chamber
For checking the viability of cells we may use
Trypan blue solution
The live cells are
never stained
Mononuclear cells are
monocytes, macrophages and lymphocytes
The common characteristic of separation solution for isolation of mononuclear cells is
Density - 1.075-1.0077 g/ml
If we use a separating solution for isolation of mononuclear cells we need to
gently overlay separating solution with blood and then centrifuge the samples (2500 rpm/15 min)
Phagocytosis is property of
neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages
Which of the following statements are true:
A: Lack of generation of bactericidal agents is related with defect in phagocytic function
B: Lack of receptor for chemotactic factor is released with defect in phagocytic function
C: Lack of adhesion molecules is related with defect in phagocytic function
All of them are true
Serology is
The scientific study of blood serum and other body fluids
Serological reaction is
Antigen binds to antibody
Ag + Ab –> AgAb
Visible clumping is called
Agglutination
Agglutination is used to determine presence of
Antibodies or antigens
Agglutination reaction is a reaction between
Corpuscular Ag and polyclonal Ab
Polymorphonuclear cells are
Neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils
Size of the cells in flow cytometer is detected by
Forward scatter
For determination of leukocytes in blood is
Diluted in Turk solution (1:20)
Calculate the phagocytic activity from 100 counted phagocytes, 65 cells have ingested material:
%PHA = (65/100)*100 = 65%
What is the main purpose of respiratory burst in phagocytes?
Creation of oxidative radicals which destroy ingested material
What are examples of agglutination tests?
Bacterial agglutination, passive agglutination, haemagglutination, haemagglutination inhibition test
Examples of precipitation tests:
Ring precipitation
Gel precipitation
Immunoelectrophoresis
What is immunogenicity?
The ability to induce a humoral and/or cell mediated immune response
What is antigenicity?
The ability to react specifically with the final products of a specific immune response
