A pathologist is sending solid tumor specimens to a cytogenetic
laboratory for analysis. What instructions should be given to
the pathologist concerning the preparation and transport of the
specimen to insure the highest chance of successful culture?
a. Ensure the sterility of the specimen by placing it in formalin
until it reaches the laboratory.
b. Ensure that the specimen does not contain necrotic or fatty
tissue.
c. Ensure that the specimen is transported on dry ice to prevent
decomposition.
d. All of the above. - CORRECT ANSWER-Ensure the specimen does
not contain necrotic or fatty acid
Why is the villi obtained in CVS procedures cleaned by the
technologists?
a. To remove the blood from the sample.
b. To remove dead tissue from the sample.
c. To remove maternal tissue from the sample
d. To expose the rapidly growing cells in the villi. - CORRECT
ANSWER-To remove maternal tissue from the sample
,A solid tumor specimen can NOT be shipped from the hospital
to a
cytogenetics laboratory in another city due to a major holiday
which will not allow the sample to be shipped via Federal
Express Overnight delivery. How should the sample be stored
so that the cells will remain alive until they can be delivered and
placed in culture?
a. The specimen should be preserved by placing it in formalin
until it reaches the laboratory.
b. The specimen should be placed in media and then in a a 37 'C
incubator until it can be shipped.
c. The specimen should be stored in at -20 'C or on dry ice to
prevent cellular decay.
d. The specimen should be placed in media and then
refrigerated until it can be shipped. - CORRECT ANSWER-The
specimen should be placed in media and then refrigerated until
it can be shipped.
Lab C noticed that patient samples from one of their doctors
had poor or no growth as compared to their other doctor's
samples. No evidence of contamination was observed and all
material needed for sample collection and transportation is
provided to the doctors by the laboratory. What could cause this
discrepancy in culture viability?
a. Collection technique
b. Incubator systems
c. Toxic plastic containers
d. Culture media - CORRECT ANSWER-Collection technique
,Which statement about maternal cell contamination is FALSE?
a. The incidence of MCC is greater when cultures are
established from bloody amniotic fluid samples.
b. The risk of MCC can be reduced by using a larger bone core
needle for the amniocentesis procedure.
c. The use of maternal Q-polymorphisms may be helpful in
identifying cases of MCC.
d. The risk of MCC can be reduced by discarding the first 2-3 cc
of aspirated amniotic fluid. - CORRECT ANSWER-The risk of MCC can
be reduced by using a larger bone core needle for the
amniocentesis procedure.
Your laboratory receives specimens form the following cases.
Which case would you assign the highest priority?
a. A 24 year old woman who has had three miscarriages and
one normal child.
b. The 28 year old husband of the woman above.
c. Amnoitc fluid from a 36 year old women's current pregnancy
of 18 weeks gestation.
d. A baby who is in the NICU with a myelomeningocele, a heart
defect, intrauterine growth deficiency, a tightly clenched fist
and an unusually positioned great toe.
e. A 10 year old boy who is small for his age and has small
hands, moderate mental retardation, protruding ears, "droppy"
eyelids and a small mouth. - CORRECT ANSWER-A baby who is in the
NICU with a myelomeningocele, a heart defect, intrauterine
growth deficiency, a tightly clenched fist and an unusually
positioned great toe.
, Not all cells received by a Cytogenetics laboratory will grow well
in culture for any number of reasons. When amniotic fluid
specimens are collected for culture, which of the following are
safeguards against culture failure?
s. Samples are collected in one syringe
b. The first 2 cc of amniotic fluid are discarded
c. Two flasks are set up with two different media types
d. T12 1/2 flasks are used - CORRECT ANSWER-Two flasks are set up
with two different media types
Which of the following is NOT an advantage that in situ
coverslip amniotic cultures have over flask amniotic fluid
cultures?
a. Decreased the turnaround time.
b. Increases the likelihood of distinguishing between true
mosaicism and psuedomosaicisme.
c. Can be used to rule out maternal contamination when the
fetus is female.
d. Can determine if an abnormal clone is arising from one or
more colonies. - CORRECT ANSWER-Can be used to rule out maternal
contamination when the fetus is female.
Collagenase is used in culture of solid tissues to?
a. Dissociate cells
b. To supplement culture media
c. To prevent mycoplasma contamination
c. To subculture the monolayer cultures - CORRECT ANSWER-
Dissociate cells
