25
Step in agglutination that represents ag-ab complexes with the binding together of multiple antigenic determinants
Lattice formation
26
A rxn in which PARTICLES COATED WITH ANTIGENS not normally found on their surfaces clump together bc of combination with Ab
PASSIVE AGGLUTINATION | ANTIGEN to ANTIBODY
27
A rxn in which CARRIER PARTICLES COATED WITH ANTIBODY clump together bc of a combination with Ag (AB TO AG)
Reverse-Passive Agglutination
28
Determines IN VIVO attachment of Ab or complement to RBCs, using AHG = visible agglutination rxn
DIRECT AHG TEST (DAT)
29
Often uses as the 1st line DAT; detects RBCs with either IgG/Ig3 bound to them
Polyspecific AHG
30
Positive test with anti-IgG; Autoab bound in vivo to px’s RBCs, Alloab to transfused RBCs, Maternal ab bound to NEONATAL RBCs.
Monospecific AHG ANTI-IgG
31
Positive test with Anti-C3: IgG: Capable of binding the c’- usually IgG+ IgM: cold-reactive autoab
Monoclonal AHG ANTI-c3d
32
Purpose of washing RBCs in DAT
To remove any unbound Ab
33
Added to validate a negative result in DAT
Coomb’s control cells
34
When IgG Abs are detected, what should the MT do next?
DISSOCIATE abs from the RBC surface to allow for ID
35
Are used to RELEASE, CONCENTRATE and PURIFY Abs
Elution techniques
36
Changes caused by methods used to remove Ab cause? (3)
1. thermodynamics of the environment; 2. Attractive forces between Ag and Ab; 3. Structure of the RBC surface
37
Dissociates IgG from RBCs with little or no damage to the RBC membrane
Chloroquine Diphosphate
38
2 rgts useful in stripping Ab from the RBC surface, while leaving the membrane INTACT to allow PHENOTYPING
Chloroquine Diphosphate and ACID GLYCINE (EDTA)
39
Positive result for COOMB’S CTRL CELLS/CHECK CELLS
Agglutination
40
Potential reasons for a false-negative result in DAT (No agglutination with Check Cells - INVALID) -(3)
1. Failure to add the antiglobulin rgt to test 2. Failure of the added antiglobulin rgt to react 3. Failure to wash RBCs adequately
41
Measurement of TOTAL IgE
RIST
42
Determining Specific IgE
RAST/FAST
43
RPR: NR VDRL: Reactive
Late, latent or previous syphilis
44
Immune status evaluation
Rubella: women of childbearing age; Syphilis Testing: obtain marriage license; CMV: transplant donor & recipient
45
Immunologic manifestation of HAV infxn
Stool HAV ➡️ IgM anti-HAV (acute) ➡️ IgG anti-HAV (Immunity)
46
An excellent indicator of chronicity in hepatitis infxn
PERSISTENCE OF SURFACE ANTIGEN | Chronic infxn: surface Ab does not appear, surface Ag persists
47
2 diseases caused by HTLV-I
1. Adult T-cell Ieukemia/lymphoma (ATL) | 2. HLTV-associated myelopathy/Tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP)
48
Screening test for HTLV
ELISA (if + retested by ELISA)
49
Confirmatory test for HTLV
Western Blot
50
Detectable within DAYS of HIV infxn
VIRAL RNA
51
Detectable in 2-3wks; Undetected when Abs develop; becomes detectable AGAIN in LATE STAGES (Immune system fails; Virus replicates)
p24 Ag
52
Detected, peaks and becomes undetectable: IgM (HIV)
D: 2-8wks P: 1-2wks UD: 1-2wks later
53
Detected and increase: IgG Ab (HIV)
D: shortly after IgM Gradual increase on titer over SEVERAL MONTHS. LONG LASTING
54
Confirmatory for HIV
Western Blot
55
Reasons why Western blot is not recommended for initial screening (3)
1. Labor intensive 2. Relatively insensitive 3. Long TATB
56
Positive for WESTERN BLOT (HIV)
At least 2/3 bands present: | p24, gp41, gp120/gp160
57
If an INDETERMINATE TEST RESULT IS OBTAINED IN HIV WESTERN BLOT, it is recommended that
Test be repeated with the same or a fresh specimen
58
Used for improved specificity in detecting LYME DSE
Western Blot
59
Aids in dx of Congenital Toxoplasmosis (newborns)
Detectable IgM antibody (newborns); | Supported with the presence of ⬆️ IgM titers in the mother’s serum
60
Mental retardation, most have large head size, prominent ears, jaw and macro-orchidism
Fragile X syndrome
61
Molecular dx of Fragile X syndrome
SOUTHERN BLOT OR METHYLATION ANALYSIS
