New Actual Exam Questions And Correct
Answers
HIV EIA (3rd generation immunoassay) - Correct-answer-can use urine, saliva, or
serum (most accurate), need to wait until 12 weeks post exposure to see
antibodies, >99% accurate
4th generation immunoassay- "gold standard"
measures P24 antigen
can test 10 days post exposure
Mast cell - Correct-answer-Cellular bags of granules located in loose connective
tisssue close to blood vessels. Activation initiates inflammatory process.
Histamine - Correct-answer-Causes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability,
increases blood flow to the site of injury- causes erythema and swelling.
,2|Page
Cytokines - Correct-answer-Soluble factors that contribute to the regulation of
innate or adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells. Can be pro-
inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. Can react quickly or be more delayed.
Leukotrines - Correct-answer-Released when mast cells degranulate, prolong the
inflammatory process. Cause vasodilation, attract neutrophils, monocytes, and
eosinophils.target of inhibition for singular.
Prostaglandins - Correct-answer-Released when mast cells degranulate, are
produced by the arachidonic pathway. Cause vasodilation, platelet aggregation at
site of injury, pain, and fever.
Chemotactic factors - Correct-answer-Biochemical substance that attracts
leukocyte to the site of inflammation
Neutrophils - Correct-answer-Predominant leukocyte at work during the early
stages of acute inflammation
, 3|Page
Monocytes - Correct-answer-Become macrophages when entering the tissue,
responsible for presenting antigens to the CD4 cell which triggers T-cell immunity
and B-cell immunity.
Releases additional cytokines IL1, IL6, TNF.
Cytokine IL1 function - Correct-answer-Causes fever, activates phagocytes &
lymphocytes and also increases the release of IL6a
Cytokine IL6 function - Correct-answer-Stimulates production of acute phase
reactants and promotes growth and stimulation of RBCs
Cytokine TNF function - Correct-answer-Causes fever, increases synthesis of
proinflammatory proteins by liver, causes muscle wasting, induces thrombosis
Cytokine growth factor function - Correct-answer-Promotes production and
maturation of neutrophils
