• Question 383:

  Most researchers believe that the small size and increased density of LDL molecules found in atherogenic dyslipidemia enable the molecules to more easily invade the endothelium and arterial wall of vessels.

  Why are small dense LDL molecules more atherogenic?

  A. Small dense LDL molecules contain less cholesterol and phospholipid
  B. Small dense LDL molecules increase the concentration of HDL-C in the blood
  C. Small dense LDL molecules increase the concentration of adoponectin and inflammatory cytokines
  D. Small dense LDL molecules have greater mobility in the endothelium and arterial wall
  D. Small dense LDL molecules have greater mobility in the endothelium and arterial wall

• Question 384:

  Which of the procedures listed below will increase the platelet concentration in the preparation of Platelets?

  A. Centrifuge the blood at a low speed, remove the plasma and spin the plasma again at a low speed.
  B. Centrifuge the bood at a low speed, remove the plasma and spin the plasma again at a high speed.
  C. Centrifuge the blood at a high speed, remove the plasma and spin the plasma again at a high speed.
  D. Increase the duration of rotation
  C. Centrifuge the blood at a high speed, remove the plasma and spin the plasma again at a high speed.

• Question 385:

  In radioimmunassay, a fixed concentration of labeled antigen is incubated with a constant amount of antiserum such that the concentration of antigen binding sites on the antibody is limiting. If unlabeled antigen is added to this system, there is competition between labeled antigen and unlabeled antigen for the limited and constant number of binding sites on the antibody, and thus the amount of labeled antigen bound to antibody will decrease as the concentration of unlabeled antigen increases.

  Which of the following choices is correct when describing the principles of competitive radioimmunoassay procedures?

  A. antibody will react preferentially with the labeled antigen
  B. antibody will react preferentially with the unlabeled antigen
  C. antibody will react with labeled antigen only
  D. antibody will react equally with labeled and unlabeled antigen
  E. antibody will react directly with radioactive labeled immunoglobulin
  D. antibody will react equally with labeled and unlabeled antigen

• Question 386:

  Which of the following is a current title for clinical laboratory professionals with a 4 year degree?

  A. clinical laboratory technician
  B. medical laboratory technician
  C. medical laboratory scientist
  D. medical technologist
  C. medical laboratory scientist

• Question 387:

  Duffy antigens are rendered inactive by enzyme treatments since the enzyme will remove the sialic acid from the RBC membrane. This process destroys: M, N, S, s, and Duffy antigens. The process enhances the reactions for Rh, Kidd, Lewis, I, and P antigens.

  When performing an antibody panel, which one of the following antigens will be rendered inactive by enzyme treatment?

  A. anti-Fya
  B. anti-Jka
  C. anti-E
  D. anti-Lua
  A. anti-Fya

• Question 388:

  Joint pain is a common early symptom of HH. Cirrhosis of the liver, cardiomyopathy, and diabetes are late symptoms of HH. What is a common early symptom of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH)?

  A. Joint pain
  B. Cirrhosis of the liver
  C. Diabetes
  D. Cardiomyopathy
  A. Joint pain

  B. Buffered-charcoal yeast extract(BCYE) agar
  C. Kanamycin Vancomycin laked blood (LKV) agar
  D. Thiosulphate citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS) agar.
  A. Cefoxitin-cycloserine-fructose agar (CCFA)
