The accuracy of an immunoassay is its ability to
discriminate between results that are true positives and
results that are true negatives. Two parameters of test
accuracy are specificity and sensitivity. Which of these

,statements apply to an immunoassay with high specificity,
but low sensitivity? Correct Answer Accurately identifies
the absence of disease and has few false-positives

A test with high specificity accurately detects the absence
of disease. The more specific a test is, the fewer false-
positive results will occur. A test with high sensitivity
accurately identifies the presence of disease. The more
sensitive a test, the fewer false-negative results it
produces. In the case stated in this question, the
immunoassay has high specificity, so it has few false-
positives and will accurately detect those individuals who
do not have the disease or condition that is being tested
for. However, the test has low sensitivity, so it may not
identify all individuals who actually have the disease; it
may produce many false-negative results.

Distinguishing characteristics of Micrococcus luteus:
Correct Answer Resistance to furazolidone is one of the
key characteristics by which members of the genus
Micrococcus (resistant) can be separated from members
of the genus Staphylococcus (susceptible). Micrococcus
species also are susceptible to novobiocin and to
bacitracin, although the zone of inhibition to the "A" disk is
often small (as shown in this photograph).

(minimum weight requirement) x 450 mL (volume of unit to
be donated)

In this case, Volume to draw = (35 kg / 50 kg) x 450 mL =
315 mL

Which of the following antigen groups is closely related to
the ABO antigens on the red cell membrane? Correct
Answer I and i antigens are related biochemically and
spatially to the ABH and Lewis antigens on the red cell
membrane. Anti-I is usually an autoantibody. It is common
as a benign cold autoagglutinin. Strong anti-I is associated
with Mycoplasma pneumonia infection, where it may be
associated with cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Anti-I
is characterized by its failure to react with cord red cells.
Anti-i generally occurs as a cold reactive IgM antibody in
the setting of infectious mononucleosis.

Distinguishing between T lymphs and B lymphs: Correct
Answer T lymphocytes are larger and have more vacuoles
than B lymphocytes.

Define Galactosemia: Correct Answer Galactosemia is an
