ANTI - STREPTOLYSIN O TITER ASO Latex Test ASO is a rapid latex agglutination test for the detection of anti – streptolysin O (ASO) antibodies in human serum. ASO antibodies are found in sera of patients in response to infection with hemolytic streptococci of group A, C or G. Streptolysin O is highly antigenic therefore patients with these infections produce specific antibodies detectable by the reagent. Questions: 1. Illustrate how latex agglutination works to bind to ASO and form agglutinates 2. What is the significance of ASO? Is ASO specific to a disease? 3. What are Todd Units? Give the normal value of ASO

Rheumatoid Factor RF Latex Test RF is a rapid latex agglutination test kit for the detection of rheumatoid factor (RF) in human serum. RF is found in sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and is believed to be IgM antibodies directed against the patients own immunoglobulin G. Principle: The RF latex particles are coated with specially purified human gamma globulin. When the latex suspension is mixed with serum containing elevated RF levels on a slide, clear agglutination is seen within 2 minutes. Questions 1. Is Rheumatoid Arthritis an autoimmune disease? 2. Differentiate the different types of Immunoglobulins 3. Differentiate Rheumatoid Arthritis from Gouty Arthritis
When is Direct Coombs test done? Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia Drug induced red cells sensitization To detect anti-D All of the above Explanation: 2. What is the possible conclusion for a positive control with observed agglutination in Anti-human globulin testing? Repeat the test Correctly performed the test When the patient does have the disease and the result is not within the reference range All of the above Explanation: 3. Which of the following is an accurate course of action for an Indirect Antiglobulin test? Incubate all the three tubes for one hour at 37°C In the tube labelled as ‘T’, add two drops of Anti-A serum Add one drop of 5 % isotonic saline suspension of the pooled ‘O’ Rho (D) positive cells in each All of the above Explanation: 4. Which of the following scenario resulted in a false positive outcome? 5 % suspension in isotonic saline Transfusion of Rh-positive blood Drug induced red cells sensitization Over centrifugation Explanation: Explanation:…
Patient A, who is a recipient of USA-based poly X8650-CA vaccine for its autoimmune allergic rhinitis often visits the doctor twice a month to complain for “idiopathic colds”. Meanwhile Patient B, who is currently taking DOH pilot-used trial 1 mono E2128-PH vaccine for the same condition do not have to visit its doctor. Based on the principles of the antibody production, can you explain why patient A visits more often?
You are interested in performing indirect immunofluorescence light microscopy to observe the localization of the catalase enzyme in the cultured HeLa cells, obtained historically from the cervical tumor of Henrietta Lacks. You were going through the lab stock and found a few primary and secondary antibodies. Which of the following secondary antibody can you use in your experiments? O All of the mentioned antibodies can be used in the experiment Goat anti-human antibody conjugated to 10 nm gold Goat-anti-human catalase conjugated to 10 nm gold O Human anti-catalase antibody conjugated to fluorescent rhodamine Goat anti-human antibody conjugated to fluorescent rhodamine
Why monoclonal antibodies method is better than Polyclonal Antibodies method in detecting specific pathogen. Explain reasons.
Serum from individuals with high levels of antibody to SARS-CoV2 has been used to treat patients with severe COVID-19. What is ONE way (there are several) that passive immunization with the antibody to the virus could help these patients? HINT: think about what opsonization with antibody could do for the innate immune response.
Why monoclonal antibodies method is better than polyclonal antibodies method in detecting specific pathogen? Explain the reasons for both selection or rejection methods..
C – REACTIVE PROTEIN CRP Latex Test CRP is a rapid latex agglutination test kit for the detection of C-Reactive Protein in human serum. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in patient’s sera has been found in association with acute infections, necrotic conditions and a variety of inflammatory disorders. There is a strong correlation between serum levels of CRP and the onset of the inflammatory process. Monitoring the levels of CRP in patient’s sera indicates the effectiveness of treatment and the assessment of patient recovery. Questions: 1. Illustrate how latex agglutination works to bind C-reactive proteins to cause agglutination 2. Give the normal value of CRP 3. Why is CRP significant? Is CRP specific to one disease?
