heumatoid 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

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
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?

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?

Plasma IL-12, IL-17, IL-18 and IL-4 concentrations of 36 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients were determined. Eighteen sex- and age-matched control subjects were included. The cytokine concentrations were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The mean duration of the diagnosis of SLE at the time when patients were evaluated for this study was 5.9-6.8 years. The results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Mean ±s.d.
